Would You Wear… an Embellished Sweater?

The doldrums of February are seldom inspiring. I find myself staring at each summer dress in my closet, fingers lingering on the breezy fabrics, yearning for warm weather, before I finally reach for yet another sweater. If you find yourself facing the same sweater-wearing rut as me, why not snazz one of your trusty ones with some embellishment?
I’ve been spying them everywhere: Sweaters with rhinestones, studs, chains, and beads are – dare I say it – popular? The best part about wearing a sweater with edge (other than the fact that you will be on-trend), is that you can do it yourself! There are so many great tutorials, so why not spend an afternoon embellishing a sweater of your own? Be sure to check out P.S. I Made This’s tutorial on embellished gloves or Runway DIY’s screw-studded sweater.
However, if you decide you’re going to shop for one instead, loads of budget retailers are bound to have them. Try Zara, H&M, Forever 21, or Topshop.
Here’s a sample way to style one…

Hell yes. I think an emblish sweater is a statement piece on its own and I would ROCKIT!

I like sweaters that are subtly embellished — either on the shoulders or around the collar. It’s probably the easiest way to integrate a little glitz into a sweater without looking over the top. Also loving the booties you picked out!
Ginger Ly

estella

YES! I own a gorgeous pink embellished sweater and it looks amazing – I always get compliments when I wear it and find that it can be dressed down too!

I love cute sweaters! :) With being petite and loving easy-throw-on pieces, I absolutely adore wearing an embellished sweater. So versatile as well!
