CUTE AND COMFY LOUNGEWEAR

It’s that time of year where it’s often cold and dreary outside, but it sure is cozy inside…

Which means I want to stay inside and pretty much only wear cute and comfy little sets and sit on the couch.

So if you’re like me and love a cute set, I’ve got several for you to choose from today!

And the great news is that if you do in fact have to leave the house, you can also wear them to run errands around town. to one of your kid’s events, or even to go out to eat.

What can I say, I love a good set. And this is a reallllllllllly good set.

I’m wearing the light khaki in a medium (I think I would actually prefer the fit of a small), but it’s still sooooooooooo good. I totally compare it to the look and quality of Spanx, but for a much smaller price. I’m wearing it here with slippers, but I’ll definitely throw on UGGs or sneakers with it and run around town.

These are the only kinds of things I want to be wearing from now until the end of February.

Okay, this is another set that I’m dang near obsessed with. It’s pretty much perfection.

I’m obviously wearing the black here (and love it), but I’ve actually sent this one back and exchanged it for the apricot. Wearing black with a Golden Retriever at home just isn’t the best idea. 😉 I also love the grey, the brown, and the khaki.

It’s a modal jersey, it’s crazy soft, and it’s very stretchy. YOU WILL LOVE IT. The material is great quality, and the set is well made. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

oversized sweatshirt and wide leg pants set / Dolce Vita sneakers

This set is very similar to the set above with both the material and the feel, but this one is a v-neck, and since I’m in the small it’s a much less relaxed fit. After seeing the above one and then this one right, I definitely prefer the one above (even though I typically prefer a v-neck). It would obviously be a more relaxed fit if I was wearing a medium instead of a small.

v-neck set / chunky hoop earrings / Dolce Vita sneakers

All 3 sets above are like a medium weight modal jersey, but this set is more of a sweater material. I still think my favorites are the first 2, but all of these sets are great options, it just depends on your preference.

The v-neck on this one is deep, but not too deep, and the sleeves have some volume all the way down to the elasticized cuff. The pants are flattering and comfy, and the wide leg is definitely all the rage right now. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

2-piece sweater lounge set / Dolce Vita sneakers

This set is more casual than the above because it’s a simple crewneck, but I’ll still enjoy wearing it both in and out of the house. I’m wearing the brown here, but it comes in several other color options. The piping is a nice design detail, and I of course love the drawstring waist and pockets.

It’s giving sporty chic vibes. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

And here’s a set I bought yesterday. The 4 Aerie collared tunic sweatshirts that I bought over Christmas (but totally sold out how) have been on perpetual repeat, so grabbing this set was kind of a no brainer for me. I bought a small in both and payed for expedited shipping, so I’ll be able to show it next week.

And how cute are the denim jacket, the bag, and the sneakers! I love this whole look.

And here’s another outfit idea with a cutie set…

OTHER SETS FROM THE PAST…

This little set has a 1/4 zip and exaggerated collar. It’s SO. FLIPPING CUTE. It’s incredibly soft and so versatile. Lounge around the house in it, run around town in it, and it’s of course the PERFECT travel outfit. I’m wearing a small here.

2-piece set / chunky hoop earrings / colorful bracelet stack (jewel toned color block) / gold bracelet stack / leather sneaker option

To show the versatility of the set, here it is paired with a denim jacket. It really changes up the look! I’m wearing a medium in the jacket.

2-piece set / glasses / denim jacket / woven hobo bag /chunky hoop earrings / leather sneaker option

And to further show the versatility…

Here I’m wearing the pants from the 2-piece set, but I’ve styled them with a basic white tee and denim jacket.

I’m obsessed with this bag. It’s also a vegan leather, and the entire bag is soft and pliable with a zippered pouch in it. I love that the handles are long enough to fit comfortably over my shoulder. It’s a really great bag and looks much more expensive than it is!

These next couple of outfits aren’t “set”, but they are still perfect for both lounging and errand running.

This oversized sweatshirt is one of my favorites in today’s post, but y’all already know that I bet because I’ve shown it before in light purple. It’s lined in a really light fleece, so it’s cozy without being bulky or too warm. I’ll wear this through spring for sure. Now, although it’s not bulky, it is quite oversized. I’m wearing a medium here, and it’s very roomy.

Here it is in purple (it’s actually a really soft lilac, but it’s called purple) with leggings.

So have I proven that I’m totally smitten with a matching set? Here’s another one…

The joggers are cute 2 pics above with my favorite tunic sweatshirt, but they’re super cute as a set with this matching sweatshirt as well.

I’m wearing a small in both pieces, but I would prefer a medium in both the sweatshirt and the leggings for a more relaxed look. (I never order sweatshirts in a small, so that was a total accident. It’s much more fitted than I like.)

Here’s the same set in oatmeal. I prefer it in this neutral color. Here I’m wearing a medium in both pieces for the more relaxed look. The medium is MUCH better!

This track suit is sporty and super lightweight. I think the fit is really cute, and it comes in 16 springy colors including a really pretty soft green, a bright pink, and a royal blue. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

DRESSES ON SALE

When I first showed y’all this dress, I said to prepare yourself…. because $$$. But now it’s 43% OFF!

It’s definitely special, and it definitely feels expensive. (Please ignore the white paper on the tassel, I took the pictures before realizing that I hadn’t taken the covers off of both tassels.)

The dark plum/wine color with the floral is gorgeous, and it’s definitely dramatic. The waist is elastic, the fit is relaxed and flowy, and this dress definitely has a romantic feel to it.

Now, if you’re tall, I’m not sure if this dress is going to work for you because this skirt is definitely on the short side. I also think it runs a bit small and if you’re between sizes you might want to consider sizing up. I’m wearing a medium, but I think a large might be more comfortable.

Also, just to be on the safe side, I bought these boy shorts to wear under it. The last thing I wanted was a wardrobe malfunction at my high school reunion. 😉

dress / heart toggle necklace / skinny hoop earrings / bracelet set / knee high boots

This long belted maxi dress is different than anything else I have in my closet, but I’m really liking it! And right now it’s 50% OFF! The fall floral and ikat pattern is so pretty, the ruffled collar feels special, and I think the belted waist makes it quite flattering. My one critique is that I wish the belt had some way to fasten it. The belt doesn’t have holes, so it can kind of just slip around. Maybe there’s an easy fix, and I just haven’t thought of it? For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

MOISTURE VEIL SILK EMULSION

First 0f all, as always, you can use the code STMT20 for 20% OFF of all single products at Colleen Rothschild!

There’s a new moisturizer in town that I’ve been using and talking about, and I’ve received so much great feedback about it from y’all that I felt compelled to talk about it again. So many of y’all are FREAKING THE FREAK OUT! Especially those of you that are battling dry winter skin. (Go read the reviews and you will get to see why so many love this product.)

I’ve been using this for a couple of months now, and I’m absolutely HOOKED. This Moisture Veil Silk Emulsion is wayyyyyyyy more than “just” a moisturizer. It is nutrient rich (yay!) and will absolutely melt into your skin. It provides deep and lasting hydration that I think you will notice after the first use. The hydration absorbs more effectively, lasts longer, and fortifies the skin barrier. It glides on smoothly, and it isn’t heavy. It’s awesome.

In addition to dryness, it also tackles dullness.

I apply it all over my face, neck, and chest. Never forget your neck and chest ladies! When putting it on, I immediately noticed that it felt different than a regular moisturizer. It actually truly felt like it was going to be longer lasting and therefore more effective.

I’ve been putting it on in the morning (under SPF and makeup), and I’ve been applying it in the evening as the final step in my nighttime routine. It really makes a difference. And here’s the real kicker… it’s not heavy or greasy! And one more thing, it has a wonderful smell (and I typically have an aversion to most skincare scents).

I’m telling you, if you feel like you battle dry skin (particularly in the winter months), you’re going to want to grab this for yourself!
