After a long work week, I just wanted to relax and lay about. Unfortunately, I had about a million errands to run. So I threw on a pair of stretchy skinny jeans, a tank top, and a long cardigan that I swear is almost as cozy as a bathrobe (but much more relatable).

Where: Hither and Thither
What: Jacket (Andrew Marc via Century 21), dress (Banana Republic), tights (Forever 21), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), sunglasses (Forever 21), bangles (H&M)
For my final act, I decided to break out my trusty leather jacket that I purchased last year at Century 21 at a great discount. I can’t believe I went so many years without owning one, but it’s the perfect thing to add a little pizzazz to any outfit.
I love this one because it’s close-fitting (but still zippable) and slightly cropped, which means it looks great over dresses. I also dig the elasticized cuffs that allow the sleeves to stay up when I push them back 80s style. With spring just around the corner, I’ve been keeping a lookout for a brown or camel-colored version to go with all of my frilly frocks. So far, I’ve found this little number at Zara’s that seems right up my alley (and at a great price-point!).

Where: Don’t remember, but I know it involved food
What: Coatigan (Topshop), leggings (Forever 21), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), belt (Anthropologie)
While I can’t wait for warmer temps, bare legs and cute sandals…
I have to admit that I’ll kind of miss wrapping myself up in big, warm sweater/blanket/jacket items like this.
So for now, I won’t complain too much. And instead, I’ll just enjoy being all bundled up and cozy while I patiently wait for spring.
