A Winter Night Out
Coat: J.Crew | Necklace: c/o Kendra Scott | Sweater: Loft (on sale!) | Pants: c/o Henry & Belle | Boots: Banana Republic (old, but love these!) | Bag: old (similar)
Now that winter is here, do you guys find it way harder to put outfits together?! I know I know, bundle up or stay inside – but what about nights out on the town? Do those just disappear from January to March?! What do you wear when you’re going out to dinner, you want to look super cute, and it’s also freeeezing outside?
This outfit is my answer! A cozy sweater seems really boring – but coated jeans, a bright coat and heeled boots add a little bit of (much needed) fun!
Don’t worry, Arin snapped these pictures last week when it was a warm 40 degrees. Since we all were working from home last week, we also got together with Emily and Kelly for the afternoon. Computers, snacks, photo shoots… and a Gracie appearance!! It was so nice to break up the week with some friends – I always feel so inspired after hanging out with my blogger pals 🙂
Back to the outfit – this sweater is SO soft and on MAJOR sale. Seriously, it’s like wearing your coziest blanket… aka perfect for these single digit temps.
And then there’s the pants! I ran into Megan from Chicago’s very own denim brand, Henry & Belle, a few weeks ago and it was so nice to reconnect. She’s very petite like me, so she immediately told me about these Lila Skinny Ankle Jeans that are the perfect length for us shorties! They are also pre-coated, so the leather-like sheen won’t wear off when you wash them. Umm… needless to say, I’m obsessed.
WHAT?! The cocoon coat in mint is sold out?! I know I know – but if you follow me on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, I promise I’ll let you know as soon as it comes back in stock!
Thanks to Arin again for these photos!

I was just saying to someone the other day that LOFT always has the best sweaters! oooh and that mint coat is so great. Better than the typical black or brown

That's what I thought! I get so sick of black coats – mint is way more fun!
