Sexy Sweater & On-Trend Jeans Look For Less
Another end of the week means…another For Less Friday! This week we’re featuring an outfit that can be worn for a day of shopping and errands. Then, go right into a lunch meeting or coffee with a friend…AND still look sophisticated (and even a little sexy!) for dinner or a night out. That’s versatility! This sexy sweater and on-trend jeans outfit is one you’ll wear on repeat from now through spring.
In case you’re interested, and full recap of what type of affordable picks we’re focused on for this series, you can find our first two For Less Friday posts here and here.

Sexy Sweater For Less
The hero piece of Erin’s look above is the chunky Karen Millen off-the-shoulder turtleneck sweater. It’s SO chic and sexy. It’s actually very budget-friendly but sizing is limited so we set out to find a few similar options that won’t break the bank. By the way, if you missed Erin’s game-changing style tip on how to properly fold your turtlenecks, make sure you check that out here. The sweater on the right has the same sexy open shoulder and turtleneck as the Karen Millen sweater Erin’s wearing. We love the cable knit details on the sleeve, dropped shoulder, and banded cuff. These little extras give the sweater some added interest and make it look more expensive.
On-Trend Jeans For Less
The dark wash, high-waisted jeans on the right are by Express. They have a straight-leg cut which is pretty much the Goldy Locks of universally flattering cuts. Not too skinny, not too baggy, they’re juuust right. Why do we love them? They come in long, short, and regular lengths so there’s something for everyone. The jeans on the left are by Moussy, one of our favorite jean brands…the washes are seriously next-level. If you do decide to give those a try (who could blame you?) we suggest sizing up 1 size as they are 100% cotton, no stretch.
Fab Bag For Less
Erin’s Dior bag on the left is also a gorgeous investment piece if you’re looking for a designer handbag this spring. She added a woven strap which gives the bag a little more of a casual vibe. The bag on the right by Madewell is an all-leather, crossbody bag that comes with both a leather and an adjustable woven strap that is removable. So, you can get that same versatility.
White Booties for Less
And let’s not forget those gorgeous boots! On the left are some comfortable Karen Millen neoprene sock booties (if they still have your size, grab them!). On the right is a similar pair of sock booties by the reliable and affordable brand, Steve Madden. White boots are a perfect choice for spring. If you’re not sure how to wear or style white boots, you can check out a few stylish white boot looks here.

Love this – I bought it in Cabernet. Would you ever wear a hat with this outfit?
Beautiful red! So glad you love it too, Christy. You could definitely add a hat. I’d go with one like this | (Shell for your Cabernet top) https://rstyle.me/+MiypEw2LdiEOO3yr3meZAQ Have a great weekend! ~Erin xo
