    For more of a “layering effect”, the little lamb sweater would look so cute over the forest green corduroy dress layered with a ribbed turtleneck underneath. So many cute finds and very versatile! 🫶🏼

    That green cord dress was ah-mazing and I loved how you paired it with the little white tee and the cute brown boots. I think I may have to give this a try myself...
