{MIX & MATCH} OVERSIZE SWEATER

Now that it's gotten colder (at least in my part of the world), there's nothing better than an oversize sweater to keep you warm.  Yes, it's great for curling up in at home, but have you thought about how to use it in other parts of your life?  Check out these options below.

Item: Oversize Sweater, $48, Romwe.com
Outfit 1: Dressy.  If you're late for a meeting but can't bear to take off your comfy sweater, just try this: Put an interesting patterned button down shirt underneath if it's solid (it gets trickier if your sweater also has a pattern, but it CAN work- stay in the same color family).  Put on wide leg pants and great mary janes.  Add a fun clutch and interesting jewelry.


Outfit 2: Date Night.  Yes, you can wear an oversize sweater on a date.  To up the hotness level, wear a leather mini skirt and lace cami.  Bright colored booties and statement jewelry also really make an impact.


Outfit 3: Casual.  This is how I wear my oversize sweaters... pair them with skinny jeans (to balance out the fullness of the top) in a great color.  Add knee high riding boots, a camisole in a pretty color, and a cozy scarf.  Now you're totally chic but TOTALLY comfortable when you're out running around.

I want to leave you with one of my all time favorite songs by The Middle East.  Have any of you listened to this band?  I highly recommend it.

Oversized sweaters are great! They are so cozy and comfy, perfect for a chilly day. Love the 2nd & 3rd outfits the best!

Ooh I love the third (casual) look! I have a lovely oversized sweater I essentially live in (but no red pants. Working on that) so I need new styling ideas. These are great - I'm going to try #3 :)

LOVE these options! Especially the first one. I like adding a collared shirt under sweaters. It makes them more preppy and interesting.
