Building a Comfy, Cozy Winter Wardrobe
I'm in no way a fashionista. I have three priorities when dressing myself in the fall and winter: Keep it comfy. Keep it warm. (I have Reynaud's). Keep it simple. Enter the following pieces. While not quite a capsule wardrobe, I do like to build my c...
Warm Hands, Warm Heart
I have Reynaud's Syndrome, which impacts the circulation in my extremities if they get cold, so I have to keep warm hands a priority.
My hubby got me these fingerless writing (and reading…and living) gloves a few years ago, and they are absolutely perfect. Not too thick and not too thin, they keep my hands warm without hampering use of my fingers like gloves would. They're so soft ...
These cashmere hand-warming fingerless mitts are thicker than the Storiarts mitts, and in a neutral fabric that you can wear with anything. Still super soft.
Hand muffs are actually the perfect accessory for keeping my hands warm when I'm out walking the dog because it keeps my fingers free while still warm.
These cute, handmade microwaveable hand warmers are the perfect addition to your pocket if you need an extra boost of warmth.
Your New Favorite Pair of Jeans
There's nothing better than a perfectly-fitted pair of jeans
I'm a tall girl, and Democracy has not only the best-fitting jeans, they have multiple long sizes available (as well as regular inseam and petite).
I love that you can get Democracy jeans in jet black. Always classic.
I love a boyfriend cut jean, and 7 For All Mankind has such a beautiful, classic feel.
Paige wide leg jeans are so comfy and cute! They're truly a wardrobe investment.
Layer It Up
I always like to dress in multiple layers so that I can add or take one off going from inside to outside.
I love, love, love the super soft Athleta Pranayama wrap cardigan, both in the regular and long length. The fabric is the absolute perfect weight, incredibly comfortable, and pairs with everything.
Love this cute, cozy sweatshirt. And it represents me accurately.
If it's cold outside, you will absolutely find me in my Comfy. Not the most attractive piece in my closet, but these things are like wearing your comfiest, coziest blanket anywhere you want to go.
Love the fun texture on this homebody sweatshirt.
I love leggings from The GAP. They're comfy, soft, affordable, and they come in various lengths (which is helpful when you have super long legs like me).
Cute, Comfy Shoes
I love cute shoes, but I also value comfort, especially if I'm going to be on my feet all day. These fit the bill.
How fun are these green New Balance sneakers?
Rothy's are known for their super comfy fit and durability, not to mention how cute and versatile they are!
Frye boots are so classic and gorgeous. And they're so comfortable, you can wear them all day.
It doesn't get much cozier than Uggs. I like that you can get them in varying heights.
One thing I've tried to do is embrace the Nordic concept of “no bad weather, only wrong clothes.” Rainboots are a must for a happy fall and winter with warm, dry feet!
