Join me on my quest...

The only thing I really dislike about Wintertime is the shorter days. I miss when the sun wouldn't set until after 7pm, and how the sun would be up and ready by the time I woke up. Now, its dark by 5:30 and sunrise is so much later.

Which means... Cold, dark mornings = lack of motivation to get ready for the day. Am I just lazy and unmotivated or do you all feel this way too?

This brings me to the point of this post-- I'm on a quest to fill my Winter wardrobe with cozy, comfortable pieces (We're talking pajama comfy here) that still look polished and put-together. Obviously, none of us fashionistas want to sacrifice style for comfort. We'll take both.

Below are two outfits that fit the bill so far...

J. Crew Blazer | Target Sweater | Ann Taylor Pants | Ann Taylor Necklace | Target Flats

Gap Dress (Similar) | F21 Sweater (Similar) | Target Belt | Tory Burch Bag and Shoes | Ann Taylor Necklace

My criteria for shopping this Winter-- Clothing must be versatile and easily paired with other pieces in my closet; It must be comfy and be of a relatively "forgiving" fabric (ex: my AT stretch pants); It must be easy to put on in the morning (no fussy zippers or buttons) and easy to wear all day long. I'm sure I'll think of more specifics along the way.

So, if you're interested in this as well... Good. I don't want to do this alone. I want you to be involved in my "quest", sharing your finds and suggestions along the way. We can discuss what worked and what didn't, and what some of our favorite pieces are! Please follow me on Twitter for quick responses and discussions, or come together in the comments below!

Let me know what you think! :)

  2. I love both! I especially like your leopard loafers and that gorgeous chunky necklace. In the second look my favorite part is how perfectly that belt shapes your waist over your super cute cardigan.
