Cozy & Caffeinated

When snow is imminent in the forecast, there’s nothing I love more than cozying up with my computer in the corner of a cute little coffee shop.

… Working, of course. (Slash browsing this Piperlime sale.)

Feeling cozy, caffeinated and well-closeted are a few of my favorite things. It’s the little things in life, huh?

black felt brim wide hat for winter

Beyond the right pair of boots, one of the best winter investments one can make, in my opinion, is a good faux fur vest. I have two in heavy rotation, and they’re the easiest way to dress up virtually any outfit.

Most often — like in the case of today — I layer mine over a thick sweater. You know I’m all about achieving that practically pajamas-in-public look.

Some days, I like to wear them over dresses or pencil skirts for an unexpected edge, too.

Admittedly, I’ve been “cheating” and wearing them with black yoga pants/spandex, too. You’d never know!

I have this simple grey sweatshirt that I wear to and from the studio almost every day, and when I add a vest into the ensemble, you actually can’t tell I just came from the gym. (Thank the lord for dry shampoo!)

I love a purposefully balanced, laid-back look.

  1. Now this is a gorgeous winter look! I love the faux fur vest and hat combination. Who doesn’t love to wear a cozy cream sweater on a snowy day? Happy Tuesday :)

  2. Ohhh love it! That faux fur vest is too cute. Also, I totally believe in sweaters + yoga pants. It is my weekend go to!
