It's that time of year when I start perusing all my favorite brands for new sweaters for the cooler seasons ahead.  I already have all the classic colors covered - black, white, camel and neutral - so this year I've been looking for new hues to add to my closet.  I saw this gorgeous tie sleeve olive sweater in an Ann Taylor add at the end of the summer and stalked their website until it became available.  I love the longer and slightly more relaxed silhouette of it, and the tie sleeves are such a fun feature (which I'm actually seeing everywhere right now! #trendy).

Thank you for reading!
