Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

Today, I would like to introduce my new styling challenge: 3 Ways to Wear a Red Sweater. Yay!  I purchased this sweater on my last Grand Haul shopping spree with The Outlet Shops of Grand River because its vibrant red hue was absolutely irresistible! I could not leave GAP without this in hand *wink*

So, how many different ways can you wear a red sweater? Well, over the next few days, I am going to show y’all three of the many looks I was able to create with this cozy piece.  

Now, let’s take a look at Outfit #1!
