well!! tis the season, friends. the season to be cozy. and indoors! oh myyy. while i love that taking care of my horse forces me out into the fresh air, really my instinct around now is to hunker down inside with a mug of something hot hot hot! i just want to be cozy and cuddled, and honestly, as the weather has cooled, it’s taken me about .5 seconds to end up with a serious comfy, cold weather uniform. and it goes a little somethin’ like this…
1. piko top – oookay, i seriously don’t know how i didn’t discover these tops until this year, but i have four of them now, and they’re maaaaybe the only top i will ever need to live in again for the rest of my life. i love that the arms are fitted but the middle is flowy! they’re plenty long enough, soo nice, and they’re made from bamboo and super soft. they also come in several styles and lengths. so far, for cooler weather, the 3/4 length sleeve is my fav.
2. gilligan & o’malley cotton with lace bikini – for a few years now [years!], i have been on a mad hunt in my under-world. i have not really been satisfied with my under-findings until these babes. [okay, i like hanky pankies, but i feel like they need such delicate laundry care!] now, i will say, i have had some very comfy unds in my drawer that are made of materials that i just don’t quite approve of for health reasons. but these! these are mostly cotton, just 7% spandex, and i feel pretty decently good about that. i mean, of course, organic cotton everything would be ideal in life, but i have to not feel guilty just throwing everyone’s underthings in the laundry and washing. like. crazy. so anyway, these are the total favs for me! comfy and cute and i need to buy more immediately!
3. zella live-in leggings – they sure named these suckers appropriately, that is for sure! every day i ask myself, do i want to wear something other than my zella leggings? do i… have… to wear something other than my zella leggings?? and sometimes the answer is something else, but i mostly have to talk myself into not wearing these every day. now, i can’t speak in comparison to the comfort of any $100 leggings out there, i really can’t, because although i love my snazzy things, i’m a practical girl! and i just find that to be an outrageous price for leggings, no matter how delightful they feel on the bod. or maybe i have no idea what i’m talking about, but these are thick, decently tushy-supporting, not overtly work-outy looking, amazingly comfortable and affordable and that is a winning combination in my book! oh, and i like the waistband! comes up high enough, not too skinny, doesn’t cut in. yay. love songs.
4. three bird lane lace-trimmed leg warmers/boot toppers – the little lace trim on these makes me soooo happy! i love wearing them with flats, and then when i need to head outside, i flip them so that the lace is on top and put on my boots! such a crush on these things. such a crush.
5. frye carson ballet flats – these are honestly the best flats i have ever had! i’ve had them, i think, for about two years now, and as soon as i put them on my feet for the first time, they felt like they were already broken in! and at this point they are still just as fabulous and comfy. frye products are just so well made, and i really, really appreciate that.
oh, and additional shout out to the chunky scarf that i had on my christmas list last year! pretty much wearing that one on the weekly, too…
…so, top it off with tea… and a blankey! and stay niiice and warm!! and now after all this cozin’ it’s going to be super hard for me to get up and head out to the grocery store. i mean, we woke up to snow flurries this morning! i can’t even believe it!
[also, photos taken by my sis, christina, on one of many snuggly days recently. i love being snuggly with her.]
may or may not have a pike in 5 different colors… and may not be wearing the black one right this second… looove
Oh my heavens all these things! They look like magic. And each and every one scream Brittany to me. Especially those leg warmers. This is the best time of year for the cozy. Maybe I'll come out of it by say… May. But from now till then I am right there with you. Coffee by day. Wine by night. Etc.
I love Three Bird Nest! Their stuff is awesome. Their studio is very close to here too, the ladies that work there are very nice 🙂
Good stuff! I 'specially love those leg warmers. <3
leggings were made for snuggling! And being pregnant….I really do live in them!
