This week felt impossibly long for some reason, and I can’t be happier that today’s Thursday because that means we’re almost to the weekend! I absolutely cannot wait hahaha! 😛

On days like this, where I’m just feeling super bleh, I tend to not really dress up because I don’t want to think too hard about what to wear, so I mainly stick with simple outfits that feel cozy. But comfort doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice style, right?

The key to staying comfortable but still looking chic is to pick everyday basics that are embellished with small yet intricate details that set it apart from the norm. For instance, this sweater of mine is just a simple knit jumper from the front, but the sides feature crochet laced panels that show just a peak of skin without baring too much, and I love how soft and subtle it is 🙂 It makes for a great statement to an otherwise “boring” sweater and gives the whole ensemble a focal point.

I love pairing simple loose-fitting sweaters with my favorite fitted denim because it helps to streamline the whole look, giving off a balanced silhouette. Rather than going for ankle booties, which I’ve been obsessed with as of lately, I decided to finish off my whole outfit with my favorite pair of shiny oxfords, making the cozy ensemble a little more polished and put together.

    • Haha no, I actually haven’t ever dyed my hair Annie 😉 My natural hair color is a dark brown, so I never had to color it, since the summer sun always helps to lighten it.

      Haha and yes, I’ll for sure do that post in the near future, especially with summer coming up! And noooo – your hair is beautiful too! Loving your new look with the fringe – it’s super cute ❤ 😀
