Instead of entering 2018 with a bang, I'm taking my time; strolling into the new year with comfort and warmth at the forefront of my mind. These past few weeks have been exceptionally cold, so I have no problem playing it casual and reverting to a stylish hoodie and stretchy jeans in below-freezing temps.
Lucky for me, this sweater is crazy warm! It's mostly wool, which is key to locking in heat. Stylish hoodies are totally having a moment too, and I love how this one is longer so it can easily be worn with jeans OR leggings. And those bell sleeves? SO on trend.
To dress up my simple sweater and jeans, I chose to throw on red-hued accessories -- including elegant velvet heels in burgundy. To compliment them, I chose fun statement earrings, also in red. My complimentary lip color is just the icing on the cake. And finally, using a clutch you'd normally save for a special occasion also helps adds glamour to my casual look.

I went back home to Chicago-area for the holidays, and let me tell you, "so much chill" is a major understatement. Every day I was there, the temperature was significantly below zero with windchill! Needless to say, these photos just BARELY got taken. Can you tell my hands are freezing off? Big shoutout to my dad for being such a trooper taking these pics!
While it's definitely warmer here in NYC, it's still freeeezing - and winter has only just begun. Here's to staying warm these next few months!
