I’m sure you’ve heard me mention in countless times over the past year+, but just in case you need a refresher, I am all about this collarless sweater blazer from J. Crew. AKA the cardigan or coatigan or whatever you want to call it. It’s a major staple in my closet and I wear it year round. So much that I wanted to put together a post with ways I wear it all year – in all four seasons.

It’s currently on sale for the lowest I’ve seen it! Size note, I wear an xxs – like I do in most J. Crew clothing.

Winter

cardigan, shirt, jeans, boots

Spring

cardigan, tank, shorts, sandals

Summer

cardigan, tank, shorts, sandals, hat

Fall

cardigan, tee, leggings, sneakers, hat

We survived another month of 2020 and now we’re really in the homestretch. I’m not sure how a year that feels so slow can still be moving this fast, but here we are! I definitely didn’t get much holiday shopping done during the cyber sales but I will be buckling down on that soon. In the meantime, it’s the first of the month which means it’s time to share my top 5 best sellers from last month.

J. Crew Collarless Sweater Blazer – For the third month in a row, the coatigan makes the list. I’m happy to see everyone is liking this cardi as much as I do! It’s such a great staple and it goes on sale pretty regularly (still 50% off today). I have it in camel and gray and wear them both frequently.

Geometry Towels – My absolute favorite dish towels! These were on sale for 15% off over the weekend + you were able to stack my discount code (ASHNFASHN15) for an additional 15% off. That sale is over now, but my discount code always works. They sold so many they’re not backordered until the middle of January! They make the best gifts, I stocked up so I can have them on hand for teachers, neighbors, etc.

Black Outdoor Bar Stools – After we completed our outdoor bar at the end of summer I knew we needed stools for the space. I found these on Wayfair and love them! They’re metal and can be cleaned so easily, but they’re still light enough to move around.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings – These leggings are so flattering and really hold everything in. They’re a bit pricey but go on sale a couple times a year. I was lucky enough to snag them last year during the cyber week sale and have been so happy with them. I wore them weekly last winter and so much during the first few months of quarantine.

Baby Boy Cardigan – I purchased this cardi for Wilder at H&M back in October for family photos and die over how cute he looks in it. I’ve since gone back for the darker gray one as well so he can wear them all fall and winter. They’re comfy (sweatshirt material) but run really big. He’s 19 months and wears a 9-12 month for reference.

A few weeks ago I mentioned things I was excited to wear in the fall. One of them was this collarless sweater blazer from J. Crew. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be a great staple piece, not just for fall, but to wear all year. It’s incredibly flattering and so versatile. It comes in the khaki I have and 4 other colors too. It’s definitely not sweater weather here yet, but in the coming weeks we’ll start to have slightly cooler mornings and nights and I know I’ll reach for this over and over. I got a jumpstart on wearing it and styled it three different ways.

Sizing info – I should mention this runs a bit big, but I find that to be the case with most things at J. Crew. I’m wearing an xxs and it fits great but will still be comfortable with heavier layers worn under.

Over shorts and a tank, this is probably the most realistic way to start wearing it now. Perfect for a cooler morning that you know will turn into a warm day.

With jeans and a tee. Honestly the weather is so mild here this is something I could probably wear most of the year. This tee has long sleeves but is super thin/easy to layer.

Over faux leather leggings for an “off duty” or post workout look. Another outfit I’ll be able to wear most of the year. If you live somewhere where it gets colder, you could wear a sweatshirt under for added warmth.

Happy Friday! Excited to head into another (hopefully) productive weekend of nesting and getting stuff done. You know I can’t miss an opportunity to twin with Crosby so when I saw this toddler Rolling Stones t-shirt at Target I picked it up to match with this one from my closet. Of course getting her to pose with me in them proved to be next to impossible. #toddlers But how cute was she once I left the frame?

on Crosby: t-shirt, leggings, shoes c/o, bow

I cannot believe she turns two in less than two weeks! It might be because I’m pregnant again but I feel like I was just pregnant with Crosby. Time seriously moves so fast! She had her first ballet class the other day and it was the cutest thing. Wasn’t really into it at first but once she convinced Dada to join she was all in.

I only have about 6 weeks left of this pregnancy but I’ve been in a bit of a rut fashion-wise. There’s only so many days I can wear leggings, you know? I’ve been looking around for spring pieces I can wear both now and after I have the baby.

I think this dress is so pretty for both. It would also be a great dress to wear for maternity or newborn photos and it also comes in gray. These shorts wont really work for pregnancy, but I’m loving them for post-baby. Anything high waisted! If you size up, this one shoulder pullover is another cute option for pregnancy and can be tucked in after baby. I’m also loving this cute black and white polka dot dress for after baby. Would be so cute with a denim jacket.
