Sweater Weather

It's hard to admit but summer has officially come to an end and fall is in full swing.  Sweater weather is here. Now wait, there is a silver lining:  Now you have an excuse to buy  super soft and cozy sweaters!  A time of year revered by many, let Bellissima is make the decision easier this year with a vast selection of cozy and elegant fall sweaters.

This season is all about details, those small touches that will take a piece from "cute" to "WOW".  Consider   metallic thread detailing or perhaps stepping out of your comfort zone with one of the seasons hot patterns such as hounds tooth or check.  The possibilities are endless.  Here's some of my favorite styles. 

 

Pair a shimmering tunic length turtleneck with a neutral check wrap to enjoy a cozy evening amongst friends.

Or perhaps this classic loose turtleneck underneath a crochet vest trimmed with fur for clean and trendy outfit.

 

Whether you are looking for a little glitz, something classic or just something to wrap up in with a cup of cocoa, I guarantee that you'll need to look no further then your local Bellissima store.
