OOOO this is such a juicy, gem-filled post! Love this idea of using a belt (hidden) as a place for and tucking the sweater. Also, if US readers are looking for your skirt (I already got an expensive substitute - sigh) --- there's one here! https://poshmark.com/listing/Aritzia-Le-Fou-Jessime-Skirt-size-6-64b1e47e3b982af9bfe67bd3#utm_source=gdm_unpaid

Omg. Thank you for finding that gem, @heymrssolomon. Have been searching for a pink lace skirt! And loved it with the grey, Irene. Also love the styling of a similar skirt by Londie Ncube in Leandra's newsletter: https://leandramcohen.substack.com/p/what-do-moms-really-wear-londie-ncube?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Flondie&utm_medium=reader2

Lovers of old grey sweaters, unite! I thrifted a grey men's cashmere sweater 15 (!) years ago and I still wear it a lot every fall. Love all the outfit inspo!

Super fun Irene. I stalked the resale internet for an ALC grey sweater with a back cutout (love those guys for slightly subtly sexy sweaters) and I’m excited to implement with it. (Found it NWT on real real ... lucky me).

This post is gold Irene!! Loved every single look - I have a Studio Nicholson grey jumper that I pretty much lived in during the past 2y, it tones down everything that seems too “extra” (patent, sequins, silk, lace) and is the perfect balance to what would be a heavily-sports look!! So inspiring! Thank you!

Okay I always steered away from grey knitwear as I grew up in London and I thought it would be giving school uniform vibes...but you’ve convinced me otherwise!!!!! 🩶🩶🩶

I wore this sweater today!!! Love it so much but I have a small hole at the neck forming so wanted to actually get a new one 😅

If it’s small, is it sewable?

Possibly! Great idea. I’ll see if I can do some research or anyone in the area (Yonge and Lawrence if anyone has a go to!)

Quick update... I found a place locally and they were able to mend the hole in my grey sweater. It is wearable again! Thank you for the advice, Irene! ❤️

You wear this sweater with such imagination, Irene. I've been trolling the web for weeks trying to track it down, and I finally found it - in lavender. Excited to make a project out of trying to dye it your HG shade of medium grey.
