I thrifted this jacket and LOVE it.

A black dress has so much versatility – for this outfit, I just added a jacket & over the knee boots. You could layer a cardigan over it for a more casual vibe.

I wore this around Christmas, but it’s a great dressy option – think date nights or nights out with friends!

This outfit formula could include a knit turtleneck, or a turtleneck sweater, depending on the weather. I added jeans and booties – INCLUDING boot socks, so make the look feel more cohesive. Add a hat for a cozy feel, or if you need to cover up some day 3 hair 😉

Cozy sweatpants that can be worn for an outfit? Yes please! This matching set is from Old Navy, and I wear it so often.

I added a coat to make it look a little more dressy & a little less like pajamas for when we went to walk in downtown Excelsior!

5 ideas of how to make your basic sweater more interesting:

1. Add a hat.
2. Add a headband.
3. Wear fun earrings.
4. Wear fun hair accessories (clips or bows).
5. Curl or wave your hair!

Mesh long sleeves are so fun, because you can layer under OR over them. I went for “over” this time, with a black tank (affiliate link) from Target.

I paired it with some straight leg jeans and heeled booties.

Dress up a plain sweater & jeans look with jewelry, accessories, and heeled booties.

Or, wear with sneakers for a casual take on the same outfit formula!
