Weekend OOTD: Comfort & Style

December 1, 2017

I have a knack for buying clothes based on texture – especially during the winter time, when I crave extra softness and warmth.

As much as I love comfort, I feel like most of these clothes just aren’t cute or stylish enough to wear out and about. Like a pair of old sweatpants, they just look sloppy.

“One is never underdressed or overdressed with a Little Black Dress.” – Coco Chanel

The Little Black Dress, or the LBD. does it all. It flatters your figure, it accentuates your natural beauty, and it can be used and re-worn on a variety of occasions. Need I say more? For my Friendsgiving event, I wore a cold-shoulder style dress purchased from Loft. It’s simple but chic.
