Cozy but Make it Chic


Brrr it's so cold everywhere! I know it's Winter, but for us Southerners it's colder than we're used to! I also know that for the past year cozy clothes have become the uniform for most gals since the entire country is held captive in their home. Even retailers have converted their racks from holding their usual polished pieces to sweat suits. 

If you know me IRL, you know SL is nothing like the norm so this won't come as a shock, but I do not own sweats. Pause for reaction.

I own 2 pairs of joggers that I may wear once a week and as for leggings - mine are true athletic wear and only worn during sweat sessions.
Yes, that means I'm at home each day in my blue jeans.  

Fact: You can be cozy, comfortable AND chic. Take your warm tops and elevate them by pairing with jeans, or here's an idea, a maxi skirt! You're covered (so don't stress about shaving your legs) and may just feel better about the way you look, feminine! I bet you you'll even twirl around a bit. 

I may not be about lounge wear but I do value comfort. This fleece is #1 for that.  It's warm, soft and stylish with the oversized funnel neck. I've shared the amazingness of these fleece tops/designer on this post. I believe every wardrobe needs one, two or several of these! They come in 3 different lengths and so many colors! 

What I really want to encourage you to do is to take your cozy sweaters, fleeces, even sweatshirts (please make it a modern one and not the oversized alma matter one you purchased at the college campus store) and pair them with a long skirt and a little sneaker. Swapping out your leggings, joggers or jeans for a little femininity will make a world of difference in feeling pretty and put together while still being comfortable. 

You can be cozy but make it chic!


I'll be pairing this skirt with tanks and even over my bikinis while vacationing come Summer!

Cozy + Fancy


'Tis the Season for Holiday Parties where you can get All Gussied up in Satin & Sparkles.
'Tis the Season to also Cozy Up in Soft and Comfy Plaids.

So Naturally Combine the Two!

Mixing Prints, Textures and Styles is Totally ok! 
My Mamma would Disagree and Often Calls me when I've posted a Look that 'Breaks' the Traditional Rules but She Quickly reassures me by Telling me that she see people doing it all the time on Pinterest.  Bless her Heart! 

Holiday Style is all about the Shine!  Satins, Sequins, & Metallics all add Fancy Touches to a Look.  For a more Modern Twist try Softening those Snazzy Pieces with a Touch of Causal, like a Flannel Plaid Button Up.  It's still Party Perfect but more Comfortable.

Emerald Green is my Color, well it's Every Red Head's Color but Seriously who doesn't Love Jewel Tones?!!
Confession: I'd Wear these Gold Pumps Everyday if I Could!

Southern Comfort

 TGIF!!!

I Believe in Celebrating Cheerfully on Fridays! We Hustle All Week Long for the Reward of 2 Days Packed of Fun and Relaxation with Favorites - Favorite People, Activities, Food, Bubbles, and Favorite Cozy Pieces.

During the Week we Typically Strut Around in Dressy Duds - Blazers, Pencil Skirts, Pumps etc..
So it's Nice to Slip into Relaxed and Soft Clothing.

For Me, my Favorite Casual Cozy Pieces for the Weekend Look Something Like this:
Sweater, Jeans, and Boots.

Since I'm a Southern Gal these Pieces are Made of Natural Materials (Cotton & Leather) and Represent Our Distinctive Culture.  

I'm Passionate in Supporting Small Business and Entrepreneurship - 
My Boots, Purchased on a Business Trip in Houston TX from a Family Owned Shop.
