Thanks for the love on yesterday’s Tips for Staying Sane During the Holidays post…I loved hearing how you stay focused and calm this time of year, too. We’re on day two of Thanksgiving Break, and I’m already practicing them all!
My kids are past the bickering phase, but have moved on to the wallowing phase! For some reason, I can only handle that for a day before I start barking at them to get up and move. Please, just do something! #amIright?! What gets under your skin most when you’re kids are home on school break?
Moving on, I’m super excited for today’s post!! I’m always scouring the internet for the newest and cutest, but tend to stick to my go-to retailers. But I discovered Marks and Spencer, a new-to-me brand, on our trip through the British Isles, and jumped at the chance to work with them on this Lace Dresses Under $100 post. And was even more excited to discover many of you adore them, too!
The prices are amazing, unbelievable actually, considering the style and quality. And since it’s a British-based brand, you’re not likely to see your neighbor or another school mom wearing the same thing. We’re in the middle of another crazy-cold front, so I couldn’t help but be drawn to the sweaters (or jumpers as they call them!), and am so smitten with what I found.
Sidenote: They’re UK-based, but transactions are in US dollars, and express shipping is free over $50!
I don’t usually go for themed sweaters, but I’d wear this ‘Merry & Bright‘ in a second! The fair isle pattern, red and white combo, and mock neck collar are just so fun and classic. Plus, it’s super soft and warm.

There’s no question I’m a sucker for leopard! Add a pop of pink, and I’m sold. This crewneck is soft and stretchy, and the mixed materials give it fun texture (the black is a raised faux-fur). There’s also a long cardigan version here, and

I never met a stripe I didn’t love, and especially during layering season. They make the best base for layering over plaids, or under vests. This wool crewneck is warm and thick with a wide, ribbed waistband. And the pom-pom cap? Only $25!! It’s the perfect size and fit…I grabbed it in three colors!

This cotton-blend crewneck is a great closet staple, but anything but basic. It’s thick and stretchy, making it perfect for layering. Plus it comes in a slew of colors and is only $20!

How fun is this fair isle!? I adore the vibrant colors, plus it’s thick and warm with a mock neck collar. It’s a little longer with side slits for a relaxed fit.

Fair Isle Turtleneck (love this glove & hat set, too)
More stripes with a pop of pink! This crewneck is a soft cotton-knit blend, that’s extra-soft and stretchy. The navy and pink is preppy perfection. Photobomber pup not included.

It’s hard to see in photos, but this vibrant red sweater has a subtle metallic thread throughout…making it just a little extra, and so fun for holiday season! It has a tall mock neck and cute O-ring zipper. It would be darling layered over a plaid, too.

This v-neck sweater is soft faux-fur, giving it a luxe feel and style. Dress it up with trousers and heels for a night out, or stay cozy with jeans and boots.
