Top: H&M (one, two, three)  |  Cardigan: H&M (similar)  |  Jeans: Forever 21 (one, two)  |  Flats: Old Navy (one, two)

I know, I’ve been wearing these black jeans a lot.  Sorry, peeps.  A series of busy weeks calls for “go mode,” aka a jeans rut.  Jeans and plaid, that’s how I roll to get business done.  Creative juices will flow once again when all craziness ceases in January…hopefully.

Anyway, I originally planned to wear this outfit like the second picture, but I went with the first one instead.  I like the contrast of the darker tan cardi in the second pic better than the beige one above, but the second outfit was a little fussy.  The look needed a belt, but the cardigan wouldn’t stay in place with the belt so I scrapped it.  Which way would you wear it?
