ALL IN THE DETAILS: Pretty in Plaid

With the cold and snowy winter weather starting to hit there’s nothing like cuddling up in your favorite oversized sweater and a giant blanket scarf. When it comes to sweaters in the winter, my personal opinion is the bigger the better. I usually shop mine a size up for a cozier look and wear it with a pair of fleece leggings, boots, and a warm scarf for class. Throw your hair up in a messy bun and there you have it, the perfect cozy yet chic look that takes minimal effort to put together.

When you’re not running around campus trying to keep warm between classes you can also create a simple yet super stylish winter outfit out of the oversized sweater and blanket scarf look. This Fashionista decided to pair hers with a pair of distressed blue jeans and adorable brown booties, giving her an adorable look for the holiday season! Perfect for getting together with family, coffee shop dates and of course Christmas parties.

Now finding the perfect blanket scarf isn’t always easy. In the past, I have gotten some of my favorite ones from the boutiques Impressions Boutique and Shop Hearts. When it comes to finding the perfect oversized sweater my go-to store is the Chicago boutique Akira. If you aren’t from the Chicago area, they also have an amazing (and very addicting) online boutique at shopakira.com. They always manage to have a huge selection to choose from.

Basically to complete this look all you need is a Starbucks red cup with your favorite holiday latte to keep you warm this winter and you’re good to go, stay cozy!
