One of my favorite styling go-tos is wearing a sweater almost like an accessory around my shoulders — I often have no intention of actually wearing the sweater as a top layer, but it adds dimension and interest (often by introducing stripes or a new color or shade to the outfit mix). I’ve been taking additional layering notes from street style starlets mainly over in Europe lately —

My dream look!!! Audrey Hepburn too! I don’t think I execute it well, but this post should help me. Thank you!
I’m super into this look as well right now! xx
Love this blog so so much, thank you. Do you know where the skirt Sophia Roe in image 2 is wearing is from? I don’t have Instagram so can’t see any tags! Thank you!
Hi Abbey! Thank you so much! In the Instagram post, Sophia Roe tagged this brand:

I couldn’t find the skirt there, though! A few other styles that felt really similar to me…

This is a fun post. It would be interesting to read about the history on wearing sweaters around the shoulders. To me this is something one learns as a child if raised in an upperclass wasp family. Perhaps I am wrong but most who do this, earn significant amounts of money and have a trust fund. And are primarily caucasien. Maybe not. I’m not sure only going off what I’ve seen through my own years of Catholic school and that the women and men who do this all belong in a category many don’t fit in. Especially if they have enough to spend on something just for an accessory not to wear it for its intended purpos, for warmth. Is it a status symbol? I’m not sure.
Hi Michelle! I can see what you mean — there is definitely a preppy upper crust vibe to this styling, but I like the way these Parisian ladies have reinterpreted it? It feels to me more about layering textures and patterns and colors in their hands.
