oversized outerwear

Show of hands to anyone who has seen a girl looking oh so fab in oversized outerwear but when you give it a go it feels more like overstuffed marshmallow than chic. The past 2 years I have been forcing myself to embrace the larger cuts in sweaters and outerwear. Not easy for a girl who likes form and structure, but I have to say I am warming up to the oversize.

The arms are also longer which is fabulous for my freakishly extended limbs. (Just the arms, not the legs of course.) I really thought I would hate it, but it was a steal so why not.

I don’t love this coat. I am obsessed with it. Basically wear it every chance I get. And I love it unzipped. That statement alone blows my mind. An unzipped oversized coat that I feel put together in. I thought this was a fashion myth but alas…it is true and wonderful.

Gotta another question for you girls… You rock the destroyed jeans in the middle of winter? I don’t know why but I swear they do not seem any colder than regular denim. Then again I live in Ohio and it has been in the 40s+ for winter so it’s basically like spring around here. We’ve got some realistically cold days coming up, I have a feeling those holey jeans won’t be making the cut.
