On the second Monday of every month a group of style bloggers and I pick a theme, style an outfit based on that theme, and then do a link up together where you can join too! This month's theme is "Cozy Knits".
This month the ladies of "Stylish Monday" and I are showing off our "Cozy Knits". I live in Wisconsin where we have some pretty cold winters, in fact, the day these photos were taking it was frigid -12 degrees...Brr! Cold days like this call for some very warm clothing so I grabbed one of my oldest knitted sweaters in my closet plus a pair of thick leggings. I added the tall boots instead of booties to help keep my legs warm.
My favorite way to style cozy knits is with leggings. I find thick sweaters add a lot of bulk to my frame, especially since the majority of my body weight is above my waist, so I like to wear something "thinner" on my lower half like leggings or skinny jeans.
My eggplant-colored leggings are from Stitch Fix and are named "Kennedy Skinny Pants". I can see why they call them "pants" as they are a high quality thick Ponte knit, but they are as tight and stretchy as "leggings" so I call them "leggings",
Although I do prefer to wear a longer top/sweater with these leggings, I don't find I need to have my butt completely covered as I would if I had a cheap, thin pair of leggings on.
My cowl neck sweater is super old. I've shown it to you many times before on this blog. You can check out these posts

HERE if you're interested in seeing other ways I've styled this sweater. It's a very basic sweater in a natural color, so it never goes out of style and there are so many different ways I can wear it.

Julie - Fashion Trends and Friends and Instagram FashionTandF - I’m loving all the knitwear sets that are totally on-trend for the winter! Think elevated sweatsuit - sweater material joggers and a cute matching sweater top! The sets are so comfy, cozy and easily split up to be styled with other pieces! Don’t you love having lots of styling options?! This is the perfect trend for winters in Illinois!
Nicole
Nicole - High Latitude Style - I have loved knit jumpers all my life. My late mom knitted many of them when I was a kid. I remember a bottle green one with white shoulder section and orange embellishments, a citrus A-line, and a matching skirt and cardigan ensemble in red with green and black stripes. She used acrylic yarn and created super soft, cozy pieces. Her girlfriend, however, knitted wool sweaters. They were so itchy.

Suzanne - Ask Suzanne Bell - I finally bought a Shacket, and better yet, she’s a sweater! Truly, one of the most versatile pieces I've bought all season, I've found this multi-functioning knit piece can be worn as a jacket, sweater, tunic or layering piece - how fab is that? And since today's post is all about knits, I thought I'd show you a few ways I've styled this neutral-colored plaid wonder this past week.

Emma - The Style Splash - I probably spend half the year in knitwear of some kind so I have acquired quite a collection over the years. This bright orange sweater with frill detailing is hard to beat though - I love the colour, plus it’s super soft and cosy. It’s great to pair with another bright hue or team with neutrals.
