As we start to move from fall into winter, brands and retailers are stocking their racks and shelves with sweaters and heavier knits. It's been a few weeks since my last Trend Watch Tuesday post. So, I thought I would share one that we have seen come and go over the last several years, the fair isle print. Lately I have seen countless fair isle patterns popping up in magazines, stores and on blogs. This design delivers a classic, cozy, fire in the fireplace, hot chocolate and winter wonderland warmth.
Warm Weekend:
J.Crew Factory Sweater // Mossimo Denim // Forever 21 Boots // Forever 21 Cross Body // T+J Designs Necklace // ASOS Heart Studs // Fossil Watch
Sophisticated Soiree:
J.Crew Sweater // Chelsea and Theodore Faux Leather Pencil Skirt // Forever 21 Over-the-Knee Boots // Forever 21 Quilted Bag // Betsey Johnson Bow Earrings // Wallis Stackable Rings // Essie Penny Talk Polish
I chose to style two J.Crew fair isle sweaters. One is from their factory store (on sale with and additional 30% off) and the other costs a bit more than I would typically post from the retail store. I couldn't resit and fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Sometimes you just have to splurge on something this magical. The detailed jewel accents are a statement all their own.
I must admit that I haven't purchased anything in the fair isle print just yet. It is definitely on my radar and a pattern that I want to add to my closet in the next few weeks. With lots of holiday shopping in my future and colder temps hitting Texas, these sweaters will keep me both warm and stylish. We also have a few holiday parties headed our way. I am hoping to somehow find a way to recreate the sophisticated soiree ensemble.

Wow those sweaters are gorgeous! I think I may put one of those on my Christmas list. I noticed that the jeans are from Target. I am wondering if you know of anyone who has those and how they fit. I just ditched some of my jeans and I am searching for mew ones. I am wondering how these fit - they have good reviews. Thanks! Susan
I love how you styled these!! Great inspiration; I don't quite have a fair isle but I do have a cute Jcrew sweater with a similar pattern around the neck line.

I would totally wear both of these outfits! I am on a mission to find a Fair Isle sweater this season, I have my eye on this one right now (technically its not fair isle I don't think) but I need to try it on because its in the men's section!

I love the warm weekend option, so comfy and fallish!
I just ordered a fair isle patterned sweater last week. I am in LOVE with this style, and so happy it's up and coming!
Can't wait to wear sweaters and not feel like a hot air balloon! Haha 9 weeks or less... eye on the prize. Love these.
I love fair isle!
My pinterest board is full of Fair Isle! I just never knew it was called that! I wish I had the money to go and grab up all that I can find, but with this plane ticket for Thanksgiving looming in the very near distance, I just can't :( maybe when I get back I'll spend a little too much of my paycheck on a few pieces!
with love -m

Warm weekend looks very warm and comfy
That warm weekend combo is just screaming my name! It's begging for some hot chocolate, a fire and snow. Love it!
I don't have a Fair Isle sweater yet but I could certainly use one today since it's snowing!

I can't decide which one of these I like more. They look like perfect Thanksgiving outfits!

love fair isle sweaters (although I'm not going to lie, didn't know that's what they were called!) but I think they just make any out fit so warm and put together!
I love both of these looks but the first one is always more practical for me.. Love that crossbody!

I used to wear fair isle sweaters way back when, but they look weird on me now.
Oooh! I totally love that factory sweater! I NEED IT!
Perfect sweaters for the upcoming holiday parties. :)

the first outfit looks so comfy. Love that this pattern is on style every winter, it already has that vintage touch to me as I am wearing it since I am little :-)

These sweaters are so fun! I love the idea of dressing it up with the leather skirt!

I am definitely in search of the perfect fair isle sweater this year!
I love this pattern of sweaters and I am definitely kicking myself for the three I gave to the Salvation Army right out of HS because I thought they were SOOOO last season... KICKING MYSELF!!! :) (for the record I graduated in 1994, so yeah everything I loved is back in style now)
These are a bit different from the fair isle sweaters that I've been seeing. However, I do like the neutral color palette and how it would fit into more outfits. I love the outfit on the right---who would've thought that this type of sweater could work for a party?

oooh! I looooove it paired with the leather pencil skirt!!
Je l'aime! Both of them are great choices.
The one on the left is my favorite. These remind me of winter- hot cocoa and snuggling!
fair isle print is the best! i was actually looking into getting some fair isle sweater leggings, maybe a sweater too.
xo,

Love BOTH of these outfits!

Ahhh I love fair isle sweaters and the print in general!! I have some amazing sweater leggings that are fair isle print that I loooove and can't wait for it to get cool enough to wear :) They're nice and stretchy, which will be nice for my growing belly ;)

Yes! This is one of my favorite winter season prints. It just screams comfy, cozy ski lodge to me and I love it!
Ha, for a second there I forgot what today was until I saw my face....surprise! Second, I know how you feel about your teeth, I got braces 4 years ago (for the second time) and had them on for two years. It was mildly embarrassing to be 30 and have braces, but I am SO happy I did it. You won't regret Invisalign. for YOU (not others!)
yeah i am not so sure about the whole instagram thing either. like how in the world did they get so many followers in such a short period of time? & yes people get offered so many things through there. if you figure it out let me know!
& as for this cute sweater you are wearing, i need it in my life. & good luck with going to the dentist - you can do it girl! & yay for working out 6 out of 7 days - you go!
love you lady!

Oh wow! I just broke my no-spend-on-myself-in-November rule and bought that orange and navy sweater. I couldn't stop myself, especially with the extra 30%!!
I love the one with orange in it. It's gorgeous!
