As winter settles in I want to inspire you with some cozy and bright outfit ideas. After the holidays, I tend to shift from bolder reds, greens, and burgundy to bright and pretty pastels. Not spring colors, but the icy tones that make you think of sparkling snow. I recently found a sweater dress in a pretty soft pink that makes wearing a dress on a cold day appealing.

This outfit has several layers that make it cold weather friendly, but let’s start with the star of this look: the dress. A soft oversized hooded sweater dress that feels like a blanket, I did size down to an XS. I first purchased the small and it was a little too oversized. Lantern sleeves and a chunky ribbed knit add to the style.

I know what you’re thinking…aren’t your legs going to be cold? Nope, because these flesh toned fleece lined tights keep you nice and warm and look like bare skin! I have been wearing these on repeat already.

Finishing Touches
For an outer layer that isn’t too bulky with the oversized sleeves of the dress, consider a vest. Mine is from Columbia, but I couldn’t find it online so I linked a similar style.

Also, as a teenager from the 80’s I’m excited to see the return of leg warmers. These aren’t exactly the same as the ones I wore back in the day, but these are perfect for wearing with boots and with leggings! I got a set of four colors for $20. These shorter ones are actually called boot socks, but I have seen the full length leg warmers too.

My boots are the final cozy touch to this outfit. The mini Ugg style boot is my go-to, but for a dress I like a taller boot. Mine are Koolaburra by Ugg and they are less expensive than Uggs.
