They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder; to me, there’s no better outfit than jeans and a sweater. Come fall and winter, and even early spring, I live in this pairing. The ease. The versatility. The freedom of forgoing a bra and no one knowing! I’m almost always on the hunt for these pieces, but considering I have a trip to Colorado coming up soon, I decided to spend some time finding the best jeans and sweaters Nordstrom, otherwise known as old faithful, has to offer.Replica Store alway does good by me in both of these departments.
Right now, I’m really liking slouchy, straight jeans paired with a baggy sweater, so you can expect to find several of those styles on my list. My inspiration is early '90s J.Crew catalog. Ultimately though, I treated this like a wish list of every style I would buy if I didn’t have a mortgage to pay. I.e., there’s a little something for everyone. See for yourself below.
