The ground hog may have not have seen his shadow. Or may be he did. It depends on which you consult, but one thing is for sure– we are thick in the trenches of these long, COLD winter months.
Its around this time that we all tend to find ourselves calling on the same favorites over and over again.
This can happen at the end of any season, really, but I find it especially true in winter.
It’s a case of the Wear-em-to-death’s.
We all have those in our closet, right?
Case in point: I must confess to having worn the hell out of this shirt and have absolutely NO intention of stopping.
Despite my friends and I all having our own personal style, our eye for beauty and fashion always intersects time and time again. It’s one of the things I love about our friendship.
And when I saw this slouchy color-blocked gem on my friend Amy, earlier this fall I instantly needed it in my life.
I mean, the stripes, the perfect drape-y looking pockets …just the perfect size for an iPhone( –Did I say that out loud?), the easy breezy cowl neck/hood and the softest cotton material ev-ah!
If wearing it 247 times is wrong I don’t want to be right.
So let’s explore stretching comfy favorites and finding ways to wear them all the damn time– like I… eh-hem.. I mean…you want to.
The straight forward approach.
It’s cute enough to feel dressed and comfy enough to feel like your in sweats.
And lets be honest, would it not be heaven on earth if all clothes felt like you were wearing sweats all day?
Pair it with a cute accessory– and bam! out the door you go!
When I am doing a lot of shuttling children around during the week on a cold winter day, these tend to be my go-to’s:
Slouchy tunic paired with these insanely comfortable textured faux leather leggings… (seriously, if I could gift them to each and every one of you, I would)
I can’t seem to find these exact leggings online (they are “Sacks” brand), but these are similar in appearance and 1/2 the price!
And ankle boots.
If you are on the hunt for great casual booties– these are my favorites. I especially love them with bare legs and a dress or skirt… but you know, east coast….winter.
One of the things I love about this shirt most is the drape-y cowl neck. Normally, it lays half in the front, half in the back, but paired with this basic grey dress from Old Navy, I pulled it all to the front and it kind of gives it a scarf-like look.
I’m OBSESSED with Moto jackets, you guys!
Unfortunately, with this bitter cold I haven’t gotten to wear this baby as much as I’d like to, but when you pair things that seem like they will ever work– sometimes the results surprise you.
Keeping the cowl neck draped in the front, I tucked it into a ponte skater skirt (again, from Old Navy… because their basics ROCK) for this edgier night-time look.
Perfect for concert-going or grabbing a drink with friends.
Take the basic look of outfit number one above and give it some dimension by pair it with a super awesome faux fur vest!
Nothing like the excitement of a new year. Fresh page. Setting new goals– but staying…
