comfort in sweats.

you wouldn't have known, by the looks of these photos, that is was raining cats and dogs on this day. it was windy and cold, and i dressed for comfort with no intentions of taking pictures...but, i figured it was a rare occasion that
i was wearing tights + socks + high boots.
this sweatshirt dress used to be one of my favorites. now the stretchy parts aren't really stretchy and it has lost its softness. i'm hoping to find a replacement.

these photos finally reflect the haircut i was talking about a couple weeks ago. i asked for a shoulder length bob, but my stylist said no. instead, she cut off about six inches in the back, more on the sides to give me a v-shape and threw in a lot of layers on the bottom half to really thin it out. the day of the cut, she ironed it stick straight, but typically a loose braid overnight helps to tame the frizzies and embrace the natural waves that i have.

the day of the haircut...
i will never get it this straight at home.

  2. This is an excellent outfit and one I am so used to. We wear sweats and sweater dresses over leggings and boots all the time. But then again, it rains a LOT in Seattle.

    You still look gorgeous.

  5. I loved this outfit, and I'm glad you included it! It's really different from what we're used to see you in, and I loved your boots, and new hairstyle!
    I also prefer your hair with the natural waves, than straightened. You look better this way!

  19. The little food treats you post always make me so hungry. How delicious those bagels look! I' ma sucker for cream cheese, haha. The sweater dress looks super comfy and I am, in fact, quite jealous of how cozy you look in those boots!
