Outfits Not Just Clothes

 This winter just won't quit! I've been staying cozy indoors in fleece-lined leggings and oversized sweaters.  But we were able earlier this week to venture out of doors for another sweater weather OOTD! These boots have definitely seen a LOT of action this season! sweater- Mango , dress- Amazon , headband- Anthropologie , necklaces- Benevolence LA & Merjui , watch- Wenger , ring- Merjuri , boots-Sorel(similar here ), leggings- Athleivate In this post I styled this cozy comfy sweater with jeans, a pea coat, and fedora.  But as you can see the snow is melting and  I've layered this fringed beauty over a maxi-dress and deployed a headband.  It's been over a year since I've had a hair cut and I've somewhat embraced the longer length, but mostly I find myself piling my hair into a messy bun. Love how this headband gives it more of a "done" feel.  Another thing I love about this outfit is of course, the pockets, and also the subtle drama that comes wi

I leaned into that twist with a fedora, some thrifted costume jewelry, and a dark lip. What you don't see is the full layer of a leggings-- Girlfriend Collective , and a bodysuit- Gap  underneath the sweater and jeans for extra insulation during the chilly days. Normally, I'd wear a heavier coat and a knit cap in the snow, but for photos and for the sake of outfitting, I donned this pea coat and jaunty hat, both of which I've had forever(seen here and here ).  It's been cold and snowy and mostly grey here in Pittsburgh, but spring is 43 days away and my husband got his first vaccine shot a
