Ever since I first laid eyes on the Rag & Bone "Talia" sweater I have been after a dupe. And luckily for me the fashion gods were listening because a handful of brands have come out with almost identical versions of the sweater (see my look for less post HERE). I love it's classic prep vibe, but relaxed fit. It's basically the perfect sweater to take you from lounging around the house to errands and dinner out. I dressed mine up a bit by pairing it with some faux leather leggings (so comfy!), but still kept the casual vibe by wearing these fun Adidas sneaks. If you haven't already received the memo, sneakers are even more in this season than they were the last. You can pair them with the usual basics, but try pairing them with dressier pieces like pencil skirts and shirt or shift dresses for a modern take on the trend. I purchased these bright colored Adidas sneaks last winter and they were an instant fave for me. For one I love Adidas classic sneakers, but secondly (and more importantly) they were this gorgeous teal hue. I mean, who could pass these beauties up? They add that perfect pop of color to any look.
