Oversized Outerwear - Trends to Try

With the crazy cold temps we have been experiencing earlier in the season than normal, I have been adding over sized coats and hats to my style mix more frequently. There is just something about a warm cardigan sweater, layered under a leopard utility jacket with a cozy knit beanie and scarf that gets me excited and ready to face the winter months in style.

Sosie Leopard Jacket c/o // Forever 21 Cardigan Sweater (similar) // Old Navy Dress // Forever 21 Boots (similar here and here)// Phillip Lim x Target Bag (similar here and here) // ASSETS Tights // Target Scarf (similar here) // Banana Republic Beanie (similar here and here)  // H&M Sunglasses (similar here) // Nordstrom Wrap Bracelet c/o // Lilac Bijoux Crown Ring

SHOP THE LOOK

I picked up this olive shift dress from Old Navy during Black Friday fully aware that I wanted to pair it with this leopard jacket from Sosie. At the last minute, I added an additional layer to the mix with an old trusty cardigan sweater from Forever 21. I haven't been wearing many dresses as of late because of the weather, but was pleasantly surprised how warm I stayed with the ASSETS tights I picked up at Target. They are from Sarah Blakely, the master mind behind Spanx. They are thick, don't slide down and really do nip, tuck and lift in all the right places. Plus, they are more affordable than than the actual Spanx version, only $18. Money well spent. 

Okay, back on track.
