Going for Comfort

I have been saving this post for a rainy day, and I guess that day is today (and ironically it's raining!). I was so dead yesterday that I didn't have time for a post. So I guess it's a good thing when I take extra outfit photos even though I know I won't post them right away.  This outfit is from a few weeks ago but I actually wore a pretty similar outfit yesterday, just a different belt, sweater and shoes. I also think I need a haircut...any ideas? (I still want it at or below my shoulders...)

I decided to pair my H&M sweater dress with a black and white leopard sweater.  This outfit was so incredibly comfortable!  I am a comfort girl more than anything, if I'm not comfortable in something, I won't wear it. I know what some of you are thinking, "but what about your psycho shoes!?" Oddly enough I'm quite comfortable in all my shoes, EXCEPT if I am walking ALL day...then that is a problem. Do you bleed for fashion?

Dress: H&M $20, Sweater: Tahari (Marshalls) $20, Boots: Vintage (eBay) $11, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs via Shopbop gift card

    Sometimes the most comfortable outfits are the chicest - I love the color combo of that dress with the cardigan.

    lovely outfit girl! I don´t know where you should be living, but I see it´s really really cold there! I live in barcelona, and it´s not that cold, we have a different landscape!

    Yeah, shoes are one thing when you are working an office job that doesn't require you to be on your feet all day...

    I love the rust/grey pairing and I HATE the weather today!

    Chic on the Cheap

    I need to start collecting a surplus of photos for drab days. Thats a smart move. Your boots certainly look comfy and cute.

    I love the deep rusty orange of your Tahari sweater. And I've been dying for a hair cut too. Let's both just chop it pixie short and deal with the consequences! we are def both young enough to pull of dramatic cuts ;)

    I love the color of that sweater dress. I recently bought one in a similar style but in more of a rusty orange and can't wait to wear it. Yours looks great with the cardi and boots.

    I really don't bleed for fashion anymore either. I am comfortable in heels unless I am going to be on my feet for 8 hours straight or something. I adore the color of that sweater dress, it looks fabulous with that printed cardigan!
