spotted. cake.

layered sweaters.

we think, correction we know, everyone has to have at least one "go-to" sweater in their closet. this one sweater or cardigan is one you can always rely on. you can grab it when nothing else in your closet is working for you. when you know you'll be traveling and you want to be comfy. it's the one thing that goes great with your pjs in the morning or you can grab it and it can be worn over a black & leopard printed peplum top. the gray slouchy cardi in these photos is just that one!

valley spotted this very special sweater about two years ago at tjmaxx. since then it slowly started to make weekly guest appearances in valley's wardrobe. cake was so jealous she started her own hunt for the perfect casual chic sweater. she happily stumbled upon a great jcrew sweater {seen herehere, here & here}. valley was soon asking to borrow this jcrew sweater and the flip-flop  of cardis started. each sweater was borrowed cough hoarded cough by each owner . . . luckily, after some time, cake & valley have agreed to have joint custody of both items. so the sweaters switch homes every few months and everyone lives happily ever after.

don't be too jealous :)
happy monday.
