I've never understood short-sleeve sweaters or crop tops; why would anyone want cold arms during sweater season? Who would pay money for a too-small shirt and willingly bare their midriff?
Of the very few shopping rules that I follow, these two, very sensible thoughts have dictated many of my purchases over the years. That is, until I found a striped & cropped, short-sleeve sweater during my last thrifting spree that changed my mind forever. Ah, the power of stripes!
Against my better judgement, I snagged this top thinking that I might get inspired. Cue thrift purchase numero deux: a lightweight chambray tunic in the perfect shade of blue and the perfect length to layer under my new striped purchase. C'est parfait!

chambray blouse: thrifted // sweater: thrifted// leggings: Under Armour// suede boots: Steve Madden
I particularly love the subtle difference in thickness in the stripes on the sleeves from those on the torso! Embracing the comfort value of autumn outfits, I paired it with favorite matte leggings and suede wedges boots {us short girls can use every extra inch!}
