Things I Bought That I Love highlights the (hopefully) rare, carefully considered new purchases that spark joy in this aspiring minimalist.
Oh J. Crew, Tippi star sweater ($118.50 25% off with code WARMSTYLE today), how do I love thee? Let me count the ways as I welcome you into my closet.
1. The stars are a classic yet playful motif, and the fact that they're embroidered and not printed makes the sweater look much more luxe.
2. Like all Tippi sweaters, it's made of 100% lightweight merino wool. That might not sound like a big deal, but it is; my office's heat is cranked up to near-tropical levels most days so I can't wear my heavier cashmere sweaters to work. The Tippi keeps me warm without letting me overheat.
3. After the disaster that was last week, I really needed something twinkly, cozy, and warm.
4. This sweater has enough star power to make a statement, even in simple jeans-and-sneaker ensembles. (See what I did there?)
5. Fit-wise, this is not the Tippi sweater of yesteryear. J. Crew has lengthened the sleeves (they're almost full-length if you're petite like me instead of bracelet-length) and made the torso roomier. I actually prefer the updated fit as I think it's more versatile. Size up if you want a slouchier silhouette or if you handwash your woolens and are afraid of shrinkage.
6. So much of my closet is neutral and/or in shades of blue, and stars aside, this is pretty much a basic navy sweater that'll go with everything.

I appreciate how the J. Crew Tippi Star Sweater blends timeless style with playful detail. The lightweight merino wool makes vintage 80s clothing it versatile for layering, while the star design adds personality. I find it to be a reliable wardrobe staple that elevates casual looks and transitions easily into polished outfits.
