What I will be wearing in 2025

One of my most worn and favorite essential fashion item of all time is a white tee. It never ceases to inspire me with a new way to style it. 

I've been reveling in tennis-inspired outfits lately, which was all the rage in 2024, but the one style that I feel I can continue with in 2025 and beyond is the "sweater vest" over a white tee look. It not only looks fashionably edgy, but is super comfortable and makes sense when the weather is cool, but you don't want to commit to a full stuffy sweater. 

The inspiration from 2024:

The edgy way to wear it in 2025:

1. With button-details:

2. With an accent necklace as seen in this J. Crew ad:

3. Make it cool grandpa vibes: 

4. Make it colorful:

5. Make it simple:

Stroopwafels and Cap Sleeve Sweater Vest

It's been awhile since I have posted any sweet treats on here. I'm a sucker for cute packaging, so when I saw this interesting cookie box on sale at Costco, I had to try it. Turns out, this stroopwafel is delicious, especially when placed over a hot cup of tea to get the caramel gooey...oh I love oozing caramels (hence title of my blog, haha). 

How cute are the illustrations of these houses and the blue and white Delftware motifs?

Makes me want to visit the Netherlands someday! 

Another thing I'm loving right now are these cap-sleeve sweater vests that can be worn alone as a top and then over a button-up as a vest. Love versatile clothing items!
