The perfect topper for those chilly days!
Mr. Grey and I were planning a vacation in late October early November for Seattle and the North Cascades Loop. I needed to pack a lot of layers. When I travel, I almost always opt for black as my go-to color, even in the summer. It is so easy to dress up or dress down black. I wanted to find a heavier sweater that I could use for layering.
I searched all over, but with no luck. Just when I was about to give up, J. Jill had one of their 25% off your entire purchase if you used their credit card. As soon as I saw this J. Jill Artisanal Draped Topper, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. It is a nice heavy weight sweater. It has an attractive draped front and a cute yarn colored pin closure. I loved the pin, but realized that I probably wouldn’t be able to wear it on the plane.
The best part?! It has a hood and pockets! Here in Southeast Tennessee, we have a lot of winter days in the 50’s. Not quite cold enough for a big winter coat, but too cold for just a normal sweater. This heavy hooded sweater will be perfect. For this look, I paired it with jeans, a gray sweater, and a pair of Antonio Melani black boots.

Adorable, love J Jill!
Totally love this draped top with the boots. Black and gray are my go-to colors. I think the black combined with the jeans makes a really cozy and classic looking outfit!
I love how it drapes and the look with the chic black boots. Great it has a hood for Seattle weather too!
Thanks for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday!
