Do any of you find it harder to style clothes in Winter, especially when it’s freezing outside? When all you want to do is stay in warm leggings or joggers and cozy sweaters? Or in bed? As you know, I work from home and I have this problem. I can’t imagine how those of you who leave the house to go to your job in freezing weather do it. You ladies are brave, and I’m pretty sure stylish too!

I layer to stay warm and since sweatshirts are trendy, I can now grab one of those instead of a sweater. The Andie Chinos are a little thicker than jeans and help keep the cold from my legs. If I’m going out, booties and warm socks are the way to go for me. Otherwise I’m in my slippers or Chalet Boots. I have the Epic Sweatshirt layered over last year’s Crinkle Boy Shirt but the Factory Suckered Gingham is the same version.
Both the sweatshirt and Andie Chinos were still NWT in my closet. I like both of them but I was grabbing other items over these to wear. I have a few more NWT I need to pull out and style so you will hopefully see those soon!
Have a Great Day! Sending thoughts of warm sandy beaches your way!

A couple of tops today, two new arrivals and one that has been catching my eye.

~ Shattered Print Top, size 6 ~

This was in a roll-out almost a month ago but I am just getting around to trying it on. I thought this would fit like the Sleeveless Drapey Top so I brought a size 6 to the dressing room. This is a Viscose/Rayon blend (I’ll end up shrinking it) and fit really tight across the chest. I would need a size 8 in this top and probably it’s solid sister, the Crepe Cap-Sleeve Top. Though the material different, the shape is the same. I think I would have preferred this in the Poly instead of Viscose. 
~ Mixed Media Sweater, Medium ~

I’m probably one of the only JCAs out there who does not like this sweater. My VPS LOVED it! Every time I see this sweater I hear that Mad TV sketch of “Men on…” saying “Hated It.”  Anyone remember? Am I aging myself? I just think it would have looked better with the front as all floral instead of this knitted part. 
Anyway, on to the review, because it seems to be very popular. My store had 4 or 5 left in stock. I had grabbed a Large but my VPS found a Medium for me. I would size down to a Small in this. The Medium was very slouchy on me. I think to combat the busy front, the sweater needs to be more fitted through the body. 
I would be afraid to snag the woven part of the front. 
~ Hugo Guinness for J Crew Epic Sweatshirt, Small ~
Another sweatshirt, yes…but this one was very slouchy and soft and comfortable. It shouldn’t seem any different from any other sweatshirt but I liked it. I even thought about sizing to an XS to see the fit but I liked the slouchy style of it so I’d stick with a Small, which is down from my normal Medium. 

Happy Friday!
