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...

cardigan-Zara(similar here ), dress- Romacci via Amazon , bag - Mordenmiss via Amazon , ring-Jewel Mint(similar here via Poshmark ), boots-Landsend(similar here ), leg warmers-American Apparel(similar here ) This cardigan has become quite the wardrobe workhorse here this fall/winter, as seen here and here . For this blue-toned OOTD it gave some structure and shape to a chambray schmatta. The woven tote, knit legwarmers, and duck boots were all functional add-ons as we went were out and about exploring this weekend at Free Museum Sundays and the neighborhood playground.  

dress-eShakti(similar here ), cardigan-Anthropolige(similar here ), scarf-J.Crew Factory(similarish here ), boots-Lifestride via DSW(similar here )  This dress from eShakti will be a go-to this coming winter. It's super comfortable, work-appro, has pockets, and when worn on it's own gives me frontier-nun-schmatta realness, which is NOW a thing. Paired with this oversized cozy cardi and windowpane infinity scarf I'm bringing all sorts of winter white (& black) realness to your Tuesday! Yes, things are VERY real here today. 😁#fingersnaps 

cardi-Banana Republic(similar here ), dress- Old Navy , necklace-J.Crew Factory(similar here ), flats-Dr. Scholls(similar here ), ring-Gifted (similar from Novica here ) For the past year or so I've been experimenting and exploring a more boho aesthetic (as seen here , here and here ). At first it was the ease in silhouette that was drawing me to this style, but I think I may be getting on board with paisleys and crochet, both of which are singing on this sweet little dress.  And speaking of easy silhouettes, yes this frock is definitely hanging out in schmatta territory, which is a good thing in my style book! Check out these post  here and here  for the rundown on that noise. I love a good throw-on-and-go loose dress in general, and for summer especially. Will definitely be busting out this dress a few more times before the month is out!
