It’s funny how some styles just come cruising along back in…

My mother worked as a teacher for 30 years, she loved it.  Not a day went by when my mother wasn’t dressed beautifully for work.  She would wear suits and skirts and dresses and trousers and beautiful blouses.  I always loved sitting my my mother’s closet as a little girl and looking at her clothing.  She had so many different colors and different fabrics in there.  To me, it was a peaceful place. (I should have known back then my life would revolve someway around fashion.)

I was at the mall this past weekend with my sons looking for a birthday gift for a friend while at J.Jill (her fave store) and saw Shaker-Stitch Pullovers.  Like a wave, the memory of my mom wearing Shaker-Stitch sweaters came rushing back.  She had a maroon one, a turquoise one, a white one and a pink one.  I remember them like it was yesterday.

I hadn’t seen them is so long… here’s one from J.Jill…

… and now they’re all over the place.

I LOVE them! It’s a mix of old-school, classic wear… with a 2011 trendy twist!

You can easily mix a Shaker-Stitch Pullover into your fashion routine by wearing it with…

… a blouse, oversized tank, oversized tee, chunky jewelry or an oversized scarf. It’s such a fabulous pullover for any occasion – dress it up or dress it down!
