Bell Sleeve Chenille Sweater

My husband and I celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary in August and our daughter and son-in-law gifted us with a free night at a Bed and Breakfast in Red Wing, Minnesota.  We had so many of our weekends already booked in late summer/fall, that we decided to use the gift certificate as a Christmas getaway.  It was a good idea because it allowed us to step away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and enjoy a relaxing weekend;  plus, we got to see the B&B decorated for Christmas!

It was a pretty cold weekend, so for the first evening I wore a new bell sleeve chenille sweater from JCPenney.


This sweater is so soft, cozy, and warm.  I am such a sucker for chenille and I am very grateful it has made a comeback.


I echoed the color purple of the sweater in my jewelry choosing a lavender and silver necklace and a deeper violet bracelet.


Bell sleeves are a huge trend this season, but I'm trying to hold back and not buy too much for I don't want a closet full of trendy blouses that are no longer of any use to me once they go out of style.  So far I've only purchased this sweater and a dress with statement sleeves.


I paired my chenille sweater with a Kut from the Kloth jeans and black ankle booties.


The bell sleeves are a 3/4 length,  so they don't get in my way like a longer bell sleeve would.


They style of the sweater is a bit square, and could add unwanted pounds to your frame, so I suggest sizing down if you purchase this sweater.  I'm wearing a medium, but I probably should have bought a small.  I ordered on-line and ordered a medium to be safe.



The a.n.a 3/4 sleeve chenille crew neck pullover sweater is available in nine different colors.  I'm wearing Violet Night.

I will share more of our stay at this beautiful B&B on Wednesday's Travel Post.

Have a Great Day!  Amy
