Cozy Boyfriend Steeze

Fall has fully arrived and is starting off super windy and unfriendly to mini skirts and dresses. I mean we all have those days were we want to look super cute and are just in the mood to throw on a pair of tights and skater skirt but honestly by the time the cold weather actually hits I’m not freezing my ass off for the sake of fashion. And why should I? You see that is the beauty of style. You can tweak looks to be your standard of comfort and chic.  I feel like my style is diverse enough that I can rock an oversized sweater with boyfriend jeans and look sexy as hell. I haven’t always felt this way but as I’m getting older my definition of sexy is getting classier. Not that I ever faithfully rocked hoe attire but less is truly more, you catch my drift? I notice how much I like my outfits according to how comfortable I am in them because when I’m comfortable I’m happy which transcends through my looks. This season borrow your actual boyfriends jeans (just go to the Gap and buy some if you don’t have a boyfriend), sacrifice and spend a little more on an extra soft oversized cashmere sweater preferably this one Cozy Ass Sweater! and watch how your steeze goes from” I’m cute in this skirt and heel s but I’m freezing my ass off” to “yeah my jeans are two sizes to big but I’m still serving” *flips hair that’s under Topshop baseball cap*. Let comfort be the most important component in your wardrobe this fall. Cause its nothing cute about freezing your ass off baby girl.

NYE: House Party

I still have no solid plans for NYE but I know I will be in someone's house which means I will be dressing cozy, comfortable and CUTE! When going to a house party you don't have to worry so much about being under dressed or over dressed, that's what I love about house parties. These Kenzo booties look super comf and paired with the Givenchy printed sweat shirt, funky yellow Versace fur coat (Beyonce wore the full length one in her video for Blow), gold chain earrings and leopard clutch this "around the way" party look is not only functional but HOT. Ideally this would be my outfit for my NYE!

NYE: Bar Hoping

Bar hoping is a tiring activity within itself but bar hoping on NYE is a task! Getting through crowds, getting a taxi or finding a place to park and coincidentally having to park 5 blocks from your destination will be your nights of course you want to be comfortable. Go for a walking friendly look. If your like me you'll wear Vans just about anywhere so find your most comfortable shoe cold be boot or sneaker) and pair it with your cutest jeans and tee shirt or blouse. Sense where ever your going most likely won't have a dress codes mix up your patterns and colors. Comfort is the key. Trust me you'll thank me after your first 3 Long Islands.

NYE: Going to church

Instead of dealing with party lines and taking care of your drunken friend who drunk dialed you to come and get her from her ex's house (it's happened to all of us) you may plan to bring in the new year with the man upstairs. I myself went to church on new years a couple of years ago and noticed people dressed up. But just because your in church does not mean you can't dress funky and cool. Plaid was a huge trend this season and plaid on plaid is even bigger. Focus on a classy and chic look that could easily transits for a impromptu NYE party!
