comfy chic

Photographed by In Park

It's almost April and we are currently in the midst of a snowy week here in good ol' Blacksburg, VA, which makes it extremely difficult to incorporate any spring pieces into my wardrobe. I am dying to break out the bright colors and spring time dresses, so I chose this thin (yet still warm for the snow) light pink sweater to add some color to my otherwise black outfit.

In order to look chic yet still comfortable in the snow I chose my Steve Madden wedge lace up booties, which are incredibly easy to walk in and the absolute perfect height for basically any pair of flares. This snow won't bring me down it just gives me an excuse to dress comfier!

I am wearing Dior sunglasses, Target beanie (similar), TJ Maxx sweater (similar), Forever 21 jeans (similar), Steve Madden booties (similar), Francesca's necklace (similar)

All I am seeing right now on the style blogs/Pinterest is peplum. The flouncy and feminine fabric attached to the end of a shirt pairs perfectly with some cute skinnies or a tight skirt for balance. I loved this whimsical spotted number from H&M and I decided to edge it up a bit with my leather skirt. The bright red necklace gives the outfit some much needed color.
