Happy Monday! I had a pretty laid back weekend, but it was much needed after our trip. I went to a baby shower and then we had some friends over on Saturday for early apps which is our new favorite activity with them. They had a baby a month after we did, so dinnertime is tough for all of us.
Instead, we get together around 4pm and each bring an app or two plus a bottle of wine. We switch off houses and it couldn’t be easier! We get to socialize with real life adults and not have to worry about childcare. Genius, right?
The weather was super weird, cold one minute then hot and humid the next. Seriously fall, can we just be here already? Today is supposed to be chillier, and I’m feeling ready to bundle up in a cozy sweater.
Every year I find that one cozy sweater that I end up wearing multiple times a week throughout the fall and winter. I definitely found “the one” for this year. It’s oversized yet flattering (magic?), amazing material, and the perfect cut. Plus it comes in five colors so I can get more than one. Pretty sure I need it in the hot pink too.
If you’re looking for a similar slouchy look for less money, this sweater is also a great option. It’s a little lighter weight, but great for transition days.
I’ve been wearing it with leggings around the house, but throw on my favorite pair of jeans and a great pair of booties (these are on sale btw) when we head out. Nordstrom has so many awesome pairs of jeans right now. I’ve been looking for a good affordable pair to wear because I’m still not fitting into most of mine (the ones in this post are being held together with a hair tie!).
I love these high waisted jeans for only $70 and these ripped ones for $65.
Lately I’ve been swapping out my tote for a leather backpack because my shoulders and neck are all messed up from breast feeding. Backpacks sound dorky but this leather one is super chic and easy to wear.
In other news, my hair is finally long enough to pull back in a sleek bun again and I’m pretty stoked about it. I’m growing it out again for the first time in two years. Remember how long it used to be?

LOVE this whole outfit! So cozy and super chic all at the same time.
Thanks Sara!
I’ve actually had this sitting in my cart, but I hadn’t seen it on anyone other than the model! The neck on it is so good. Not to mention it just looks cozy…I’m off to pull the trigger haha. Hope you have a great Monday 🙂

It’s so so good. I’m buying another one. I was going to do pink but I feel like I’ll wear the black one every day this winter!
Such a wonderful color on you! Happy Monday, lady!
Thanks lady! Happy Monday to you too xx
I have this sweater too – so cozy!!!
I loveeee your pink one. Debating between that and the black as my second. Might need all three 🙂
This definitely looks like the coziest sweater, and love that color too! Perfect casual outfit for fall!

Hey–where is your exact backpack from? I love it, but I notice the made well one you linked is zippered, not drawstring like yours. Thanks!
It’s last year’s version of the Madewell one. Looks like they still have it here: http://bit.ly/2gd2R7o
I love this sweater. All the colors it comes in are gorgeous.

You look so pretty! Love that color on you and your hair pulled back like that. You look like Carolyn Bessette!
