I was looking through my photos last night and I realized I had a handful of outfit snaps from the last few weeks that I haven’t shared on the blog yet. The outfits are simple, redundant even, but each one made me happy so I wanted to share here.
I’m in love with this cozy winter look. I discovered that this cocoon jacket goes really well with a beret style hat my mom knitted for me many years ago. They are both shades of green, not matching, but not clashing either, they coordinate yet add an element of depth to the overall color palette.
I wore this to a casual holiday party and love how it came together. This silk top is one of my go-to’s for when I want to feel dressy and effortless at the same time. These boots make the simplest of outfits feel chic. Sadly they are sold out. M.Gemi makes some of the nicest boots I’ve ever seen, and I imagine they’ll be back with more fun prints next winter. For now they still have some really cute styles, including these suede ones.
This was a look that came together better than I expected. I am a big fan of how this jumpsuit fits, and paired with a wool turtleneck, it was perfect for cold weather. I tried to do the cool, exposed sock thing (which is harder than it looks) with mixed results. My legs were warm though!
I wish I had started tracking wears on this jacket after I bought it, because it has quickly become a workhorse. The reasons: it fits over everything, the color is outstanding (dark, warm mossy green), and it’s warm, but not heavy or bulky. It also does a remarkable job making my outfits feel ‘finished.’ I can’t recommend this one enough. Size down 1x if you decide to try it.
Clearly I have a thing for olive and ivory right now. But let me tell you about these shoes that have been on my wishlist for more than a year! I finally caught them on sale around the holidays (I think it was green Monday or something) and I decided to make the purchase. They feel so good on my feet. They are 10x warmer and more comfortable than my Converse (these are made from 14oz. cotton canvas!), AND they are made in the US. I love it when I find an item in the style I want from a company whose values align with mine.
I hope your holidays were relaxing and wonderful. I have some great posts planned for this month – stay tuned!
Interesting about PF Flyers being so much more comfortable than Converse. I’ve been debating between the two! What makes PF Flyers more comfortable?
The footbed has a LOT more cushion. But I’m not sure if there is a difference between the regular PF Flyers and the USA made ones or not.
I loved my PF Flyers! Sadly they wore out after years and I’ve been thinking about what pair to get next… You have inspired me to get back to searching. And love the Olive/Cream combo. My winter jacket is olive, and initially I was worried about it clashing with my wardrobe but honestly, it makes me SO much happier in our dreary NY winter to wear a color other than black! Every day I am happy to wear the green. :)
Agreed! Something about that subtle shift to green instead of black makes the overall look so much more interesting than all black! I feel like olive goes with evvvvvverything, and I am a little surprised by that!
Lovely outfits! I bought the l’envers Claude sweater and love it – except the sleeves are annoyingly short. I am going to reblock it and see if I can squeeze some length out of them! Looks great with your cream t underneath.
Hi Kris, they are a little short on me too, kind of like bracelet length! I hope the blocking works for you.
