Home For The Holidays

 I don't know about you, but the Holidays around my house are super casual!  Although I will do my hair and make-up (Who wants to be seen in holiday photos with out make-up? 🤣),  I want my clothes to be comfortable.  My usual attire is stretch denim or leggings with cozy knits.

 

I was so happy Jackson decided to join us for our photo shoot.  Kitties and Christmas can be so much fun (and sometimes they can be disasters).  Jackson enjoys helping me decorate the house.  He loves "hunting" among the green garland and batting all the round balls and berries that fall to the floor.  He has been pretty good this year about  leaving the tree alone once it's done.  But he has also gotten a few scoldings so he knows the trees are off limits.  He's such a good boy.



For this cozy "Home For The Holidays" look I am wearing a new sherpa fleece top from JCPenney with dark wine stretch skinny jeans  and black suede booties.

 I bought this top on a whim because I had a great coupon "I just HAD to use!"  Who can relate to that?  You really don't need anything, but you can't let a good coupon go to waste!  🤣 What drew me to this top was it's softness.  I have never felt anything so soft in my life!  And even though it makes me look larger than I really am because it's so big and puffy,  I really don't care because it feels so good to have it on.  The best solution to combat the "larger than life" issue is to wear something tighter on your lower life, like skinny jeans or leggings.

I threw this top in my suitcase when I went to visit my kids in October and I was so glad I did because it was so unexpectedly COLD.  It even snowed, and I didn't even bring a winter coat with me.  Who would think one would need a parka in October?  Thankfully, I had this top and it was a lifesaver!  It is super warm, and because I'm over fifty and therefore run warm, I can only wear it on the coldest of days--like TODAY!  It's a balmy -6 degrees right now!  UGH!

The neckline is very versatile.  It has buttons on the shoulder and in the neck of the top.  You can wear the neck down like I am in these photos, or you can button it all the way up to your chin to stay toasty warm.

I didn't think of showing the different ways the neckline can be worn when shooting this post, sorry.

I chose a size Medium because I wanted to be super comfy in it, but if I sized down it might have helped me not to look so large on top.  The back on me (I have a very long torso) goes down to the top half of my butt.  For women who want their backsides covered, you may not want to wear this with leggings.

Unfortunately even though I just purchased this top not that long ago, I can no longer find it on-line.  Do check your local JCP stores, and if you still don't see it I also like this similar one HERE.  Booties, old, similar HERE,  burgundy stretch skinny jeans, old, Stitch Fix, similar HERE.

Have A Great Day!  Amy
