We're still under a blanket of snow here, and it's so hard to think about spring! Nonetheless, I'm planning on some tweaks to my "Cool Spring" capsule. I found this lightweight sweater at Kohls (Elle). Originally, I purchased the black, but then went back for the cream. As you can see on the cream photo, the front is topped with a tone-on-tone eyelet in a geometric design. It's crisp and interesting. The torso is drapey and slouchy, and the sleeve is close to the arm without being fitted, which I like. While I love the black, I think I need a plain black lightweight sweater or nicely weighted 3/4 sleeve tee for mixing under jackets. The eyelet might be too busy for such a function.

At first, I thought the cream would be unflattering to my skin tone, but I actually think it's bright enough to work. I would use the cream to lighten up my spring outfits. I typically wear optic white and brighter colors, so I wonder about mixing cream, rather than white, with cobalt, chambray and raspberry.

I know you can't see the pattern on the black -- it was dark and I needed the flash. Would you favor keeping the black or the cream? Or neither?

Photo 3 is a bonus pic of my new skirt (more blue in the flowers than shows here). I was determined to wear it on a brutally cold day 2 weeks ago, and I needed the sweater and boots for warmth. I'll like it better with a jacket and booties, but this worked, I think.
