I don’t know why I didn’t get one of these Splendid jersey wrap cardigans (20% off at revolve with code INSTYLE09 through 8/31) before…I finally did it last week in the same Revolve order with the Splendid side tails top, and wore it all weekend.
I am really loving this cardigan right now, because it’s something I can just throw on over a cami (here I’m wearing another of my Park Vogel bra camis) and jeans, or with a dress, and it’s really comfortable to wear. I still love my Inhabit cotton cardigans for cooler weather, but I think this one might just be my new Summer staple cardigan. And honestly, I’ve been in the mood to cover stuff up lately, but that won’t last long…I promise.
I also wanted to try and get a picture of the SUPER-cute hair pins I bought for my sister and I while out shopping yesterday (from Anthropologie – they’re by Jane Tran) so I took this picture of *gasp* my face:
I felt a little apprehensive of this picture at first, because I’m not wearing any makeup – well, just Laura Mercier illuminating tinted moisturizer and Kiehl’s mascara – and I know I look better when my eyes are defined a bit more with some liner, but I really like it….
You should like it, you look Great! Love the Laura Mercier illuminating tinted moisturizer, one of my all time favorite products, it is amazing.
thank you allison 🙂 i love all of laura mercier’s products – especially the tinted moisturizer. i usually layer this with my mineral foundation so i’m less “glowy” though, but i love the brightness it gives to my face.
aww you look great! hairpins are kind of under-utilized for adults. you just inspired me to use it again for my shoulder-length hair! i’m a minimalist when it comes to make-up, but i do love my cargo lip gloss – not goopy at all 😀 does the laura mercier tinted moisturizer have any spf? and if i may ask, what kind of mineral foundation do you use?
thank you 🙂 the LM tinted moisturizer has an SPF of 20, and i use bare minerals by bare escentuals in 1N – “fairly light” and it has an SPF of 15. that, combined with my kiehl’s abyssine moisturizer with SPF 15 should have me covered, right LOL. i really like the combination of the LM and the mineral foundation – i feel like it provides good coverage, but it’s really nice on my skin – don’t feel it at all. i’ll have to try cargo lip gloss, i have a lip gloss fetish, but haven’t really ever found a “favorite” besides my boring kiehl’s lip balm. i like LM’s lip gloss, and i have been using one by smashbox that sonja over at the coveted recommended, and i just ordered some tarte lip sheers…
yeah definitely try cargo next time you’re in a sephora. they are the creamiest un-sticky lip gloss i’ve tried.

Ahh that is the same exact cardigan I was contemplating over at Anthropologie the other day! Now this makes me regret for not getting it, it looks great on you. =)
ah! you should totally get it!! revolve still has 20% off through the 31st – it’s absolutely worth the price
Ah…sweet bloom of youth! To look so good, while wearing so little “camoflage”…so painful for those of us over 40!
You look terrific, Grechen!
youth..LOL…thanks val 🙂 maybe you should try one of these cardigans? 😉
I love anything by Splendid. I got a great deal on a striped one for summer from South Moon Under. Only $34!
