{outfit} Oversized

One of the big trends for this year is oversized.  Luckily my mom gave me this old sweater of my dad's, which was made by my Grandmother, that fits the bill perfectly!  My tip for wearing oversized pieces is to go easy with the accessories and wear something a bit more form fitting on the bottom (or top if your bottom is the oversized piece.) A lot of the runways were showing oversized pieces all around, but that's not too flattering for most normal sized women.

I wore this last Monday when I went home for birthday celebrations for my mother and I (her birthday is 2 days before mine). It was just me, my mom, dad, one of my brothers and my sister. We had Chinese food, cupcakes, cake and opened silly presents. I also realized during dinner that I had put my sweater on backwards...oops!

Sweater: Made by Grandma, Jeans: Free People (Gilt Groupe), Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Consignments) $80,   Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop)

Here are some oversized pieces I would love to add to my closet, with some commentary by yours truly.:

    That sweater looks super comfy, love that you didn't notice it was backwards! If you didn't notice, I'm sure no one else did either ;)

    Love chunky knits. I wish autumn/winter should hurry the BLEEP up and get to California already? I miss the East coast gloom!

    I like the way that you balanced out the oversized sweater with skinny jeans :) Also, I know your birthday has passed, but happy belated birthday!

    I love this look! We're currently enjoying an Indian summer here in SF, but as soon as the weather gets cold, I'll be donning chunky knits like this one!
