Styling Request - Heathered Blue Sweater

Recently a good friend emailed me to get my take on how to style a lovely heathered blue sweater she had picked up at the Barney's warehouse sale a while back (hard to see in picture, but you get the general idea). 

She loved the sweater, but had run into a wall thinking about different ways to style it (we've all been there, right?  Sometimes a new set of eyes is enough to give a seemingly tired piece of clothing new life.  Especially important right now in this economy).  She's like me and really doesn't like turtlenecks (though this type of sweater is great with a turtleneck), so other options had to be found.  I should clarify and say I love the look of turtlenecks, but absolutely cannot wear them, they make me claw at my neck all day, which is so not chic - lol!  So here are the options I sent her way:

Longsleeve Tops by J.Crew
Necklaces by Charlotte Russe

Skinny Denim by J.Crew
Necklaces by Rachel Roy

Tanks by Banana Republic
Flats by Steve Madden

She was so happy and it got her wheels turning with new outfit options for that great sweater!  Yay!
