With Fall just around the corner (wow I can't believe it's already that time of year!), I am faced with the same dilemma as years past. What to wear? Some days are warm, while others are down right cold. I am always looking for clothing that is versatile and stylish...which is why I was so happy to come across Smitten NYC!
Founded in 2008, Smitten NYC's design team wanted to come up with a line of clothes that made women weak in the knees...something they were completely 'smitten' with. Over the past few years, they have done just that by mixing retro details with modern cuts to create a line of high quality pieces for the fashionable woman. No matter what you're looking for...cardigans, tanks, sweaters, etc...they have it all! Their line can now be found in over 400 specialty stores, department stores, their own e-commerce store and more!
When I first came across Smitten NYC I had so much fun browsing their great selection of vintage and fashionable clothing. There are so many great pieces to choose from...it was a difficult decision for sure! I finally decided on the Reversible Short Sleeve Open Sweater in taupe/stone and am really happy I did.
When it arrived, I was in love with how incredibly soft it was. I could tell it was made very well, which is something I need in the clothes I wear. I want them to last a very long time, and from what I can tell...the Reversible Short Sleeve Open Sweater is sure to do just that!
I love that it can be worn any time of the year....a tank underneath when it's warmer or even over a tee or dress. Not only that, but the fact that it's reversible means it's actually two sweaters in one! YAY! I love how either way I wear it, both layers show. The taupe and stone colors together look absolutely beautiful!
I really like the way it fits. It's so comfortable and the length and style of the top are very nice. It's something that could easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion which I love.
Overall, I'm very happy with the Reversible Short Sleeve Open Sweater. I love the quality, versatility and style. It's exactly the type of thing I look for in clothing and can't wait to wear it more over the coming months. I would highly recommend checking Smitten NYC out.
Win It: One very lucky winner is going to win a $100 or less item of their choice from Smitten NYC!
