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).

Niiiice. I love it when that happens!

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!!!!! 🩶🩶🩶

Great post Irene. I found I wore my grey sweater so much last year. Good to see different ways to style it. Thanks!

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.
