Make a Statement - 12 Sweaters Under $80

It's safe to say that my absolute favorite trend this season is a good statement sweater! From huge ruffles to crazy embellishments, they are everywhere right now.

I've found myself falling in love with so many different styles, and the other day a coworker asked me how many "shirts with wizard sleeves" I have. I mentally sifted through my closet and realized just how much the look was catching on with me. One example was the yellow ruffle sweater I had worn in Vancouver as well as this cute rose colored tie-sleeved sweater I recently picked up from F21. 

The best part of this trend is how versatile it really is. You can easily style a sweater multiple ways, making it perfect for just about any situation. Whether you are meeting friends for a happy hour in a pair of ripped jeans or going on a date in a cute mini, you seriously can't go wrong.

Since my workplace is incredibly casual, I love wearing these statement pieces with dainty jewelry in order to look trendy but not overdressed. This is really important for me personally, since I don't feel like myself when I'm dressed down. And then after work, all I need to do is swap the smaller accessories for a pair of tassel earrings or a chunky jeweled necklace to be ready for a night out!

I'm really hoping this trend sticks around for awhile because I can't get enough. When I was out Christmas shopping I had to keep myself from heading to the dressing room in every store, so I've compiled a list of a few favorites - all under $80! Numbers 1 and 7 are definitely on my wish list.
