Bring on the dusters, y’all! This has nothing to do with cleaning a house. No, I don’t mean like a Swiffer or something like that. I’m talking duster sweaters! For awhile I was afraid that the “duster” trend was going to be too grandma-like (no offense if you’re a grandma… I just… you know… you know what I’m saying! I mean…), but I am really loving dusters as a layering piece for fall and winter.
Dusters were pretty “big” in the early 2000s (?) (and I say big… when I really mean they were relatively in style before), and they’ve really made a comeback of sorts and have gotten a bit of an update! This crochet duster is a favorite of mine. I looooooove the berry / wine color and I love that I can easily dress it up or dress it down… throw it on over a dress or rock it with jeans!
What about you? Are you on board with the duster trend? Do you think it’s here to stay or you hope it leaves on a fast train out of town?
Now, one more thing. Carly and I are teaming up to do more than host our weekly link up. We are teaming up to share brands that we love – brands that give back. Each week we’ll be collaborating with one of our favorite brands to share the cause they support, and their amazing products.
This week we are teaming up with Cheeky Kids. Cheeky Kids’ adorable line of mealtime products allows families to involve their children in giving back. Very simply, you buy a pack of plates or napkins and Cheeky Kids gives a meal to a child in need via No Kid Hungry. How awesome is THAT? Have you heard of Cheeky Kids? How do you like to teach your kids to give back?
Now, link up your favorite posts below!
This week, we are loving:

Very cute outfit! Dusters, kimonos & cardigans are my fave. I’m actually wearing one as I type this comment, lol!
Listen… I love a good duster! They are so amazing and really can dress up a simple outfit. I love how you wore yours! SO cute!
You are ROCKING that duster, Molly!
I had no idea it was called a duster! How fun it looks amazing on you
I love dusters – I think they look great over jeans. The berry colour is beautiful and your clutch bag is stunning!

Hahaha, duster = grandma, I feel that way about grandpa cardigans, Molly, even when it’s my 21 year old son wearing ’em. All jokes aside, I love dusters, be they cardigans or vests or shirts. I’m 3″ shorter than you and I feel that, with the right proportions, they make me look as statuesque as I could ever be 🙂
p/s that burgundy!!!
On the blog today, I’m tackling something literally “borrowed from the boys”, i.e., an item of clothing I took from my husband’s wardrobe. Come on over and see how I (and four other women of all ages) styled pieces we, ahem, borrowed from the men in our lives.

I love the duster look on others, and it looks great on you, but I often worry about how it works out on shorter frames. Being only 5’1″ makes it important to find the right length for any and everything because I run the risk of looking like a child playing dress up, or like I’m simply wearing clothes that are too big. I think one like this could work, though, because it’s thin and not bulky. I love it!

Love that color on you. I love a duster too. It is great with a pair of leggings as well.
I love the duster and the bag! Gorgeous

I also glad that dusters are back… they’re a great way to add some spunk to a simple outfit!
Thanks for hosting
Well, I’m confused about you worrying about a duster being “Grandma like” because Ive never seen any grandma ever wearing anything like this…but they should. Because age should never dictate style. Anyway, it’s gorgeous! Wow! Love the color and the crochet. I’ve never seen anything like it.
hahahaha i totally agree! age should NEVER dictate style! 🙂 <3
Love this entire look! Your booties are great, your duster is perfect and your clutch is so fun!
