An Afternoon On The Bocce Courts- What I Wore
This star sweater virtually jumped into my hand as I wandered through Nordstrom last week:) There are a lot of things about it that appeal to me… but mostly it’s the stars. I’ve had a “thing” for stars for as long as I can remember.
We hit the Bocce Ball court again this week, and because we’re having mild weather, this sweater was a perfect weight. Iām wearing a size large. I wanted to be comfortable, look pulled together, but not be overdressed so here’s what I wore.
Why I Love This Sweater
- First…it’s navy which is one of my favorite colors this year.

- Second…the stars. They’re one of the few patterns I wear, They feel classic and modern with a touch of lighthearted and playful. Let’s face it, 2020 has been the pits so if something as simple as a pattern or color can bring you joy, I say go for it.
- Third, it’s soft. It’s a Pima cotton blend that’s cozy and feels luxurious against your skin. I knew I would love it with blue jeans and know it’ll also be terrific with my white jeans. Nothing looks crisper than navy and white in the spring.
I wore it with my
I added these faux pearl hoop earrings, similar, a large silver bangle, similar, and these white leather sneakers. FYI- I keep my sneakers nice and white with these Magic Erasers.
MORE STARS
Pearls are one of those “gems” that look and feel expensive, no matter their price. I like them with sneakers and jeans as much as I do for dressy occasions.
Are you a fan of faux pearls too?
In other news, I want to be sure you know that the Dean Davidson Black Friday Sale is on with 30% off everything, from today through November 30! I have my eye on some of his stunning Green Amethyst collection!!
Hi, is the sweater a petite or regular? When I click through to Nordstrom, I only see regular. Thanks!
Itās only available in regular which Iām wearing in L. Itās so soft, I love it.
The cutest sweater! It would be perfect for Florida. Love your entire outfit! Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Kim
Love your happy star sweater.
I was just scrolling online through the Nordstrom sale and I saw that the Dean Davidson jewelry was on sale there too. The prices even looked a little better. Always glad to see that.
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for writing your blog!
Happy Thanksgiving, Carolyn
Oh my goodness. I love that sweater! I wanted it for myself but when Jan wrote it would be good for a Dallas Cowboys fan, I knew I had to get it for my sister…
It’s pretty too š
A great looking outfit on you!
Love this casual outfit. May I ask if you are wearing petite sizing or misses in the Talbot jeans? I am also 5ā4ā and the length looks perfect with your sneakers.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I am wearing 8 petite in the jeans
Stars are big this year and I’m so happy! They are a timeless motif whether in jewelry, clothes or accessories. I noticed that Chico’s has a lot of star pieces right now—in fact, I just purchased their navy Zodiac scarf. Not only is it starry, but it’s real silk!! And, it’s navy as I said, so it’s just about perfect.
Heading over to Chico’s to check it out!!
You always look good in navy and jeans (actually, you look good in almost any shade of blue). For some reason, they just suit you; clearly not frumpy, but not Forever 21 either. Just right. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Jane. Forever 64;)
I love this outfit. It’s looks so crisp and neat. I do not know the game but it sounds like fun. I’m a golfer and a pool player. LOL
If youāre a pool player, youād probably be very good at bocce. Itās sort of like lawn bowling.
Love the game! Love the sweater.
Love the navy star sweater.
Actually, I love your whole outfit. And the pearls are a beautiful accent.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Happy Thanksgiving Lin!!
If you knew me you’d know I love stars. I ordered this sweater and some white sneakers. White sneakers have been on my wish list for a year. I jumped on a pair that are on sale. Thanks for the post and sharing your lovely finds, Jennifer!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving!
The outfit looks great on you! I wonder if you could say what size sweater you are wearing. Thanks.
I am wearing a large!
This is how a few, gorgeous accessories can elevate a casual outfit. Quite often, I find myself wearing something very similar.
I do have to mention that the color and pattern on this sweater would satisfy fans of a very popular Texas football team! Lol
I hadnāt thought of that!!šš»šš»šš»
Cute outfit! Yes, I love pearls. I especially love the extra long strands that I double, triple, etc. into a necklace. I wear pearl studs almost daily.
You inspired me to dig out some of my older strands and play with them today:)
Cute Bocce playing outfit ! Love the stars! Weāre you the star of the court (game) too? Have fun!
Youāre the sweetest, Paulette!!
