Last week I pulled out my LOFT leggings, sweater vest, and the Old Navy striped top I can’t stop talking about; and put together the most comfortable outfit for work, ever! My office environment is on the casual side, so sure, this may not work for all environments, but it works for mine, and I’m sure glad it does.

LOFT Sweater Vest
Let’s start with the star of the outfit, the sweater vest from LOFT. This vest is soft, warm and since it’s nice and long, makes it possible to wear leggings to work. It’s amazing, just saying. It doesn’t come in petite, and comes in a xs/s, m, l/xl sizing, so I wasn’t sure how it would fit on me, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can also see wearing this vest with dresses, skirts, over a button down, etc, etc…the list goes on. It’s versatile and one of those pieces you’ll want to wear over and over again. Ponte leggings are also something you’ll grab over and over again. They are thick, comfortable, and not one bit see through.
Life Lately
This big guy turned 6! Have I really been a momma for six years?! Totally blows my mind. That birthday party of his that I was nervous about went off without a hitch and was so much fun. I couldn’t get many “real” smiles out of him for his pictures, mostly the “lemme me see your grill smile” and the sneak of a smile I caught below. Such a sweet silly guy!
Y’all, after about six months, I finally had my hair cut! I’ve had my hair done by the same fabulous girl for the last eight years and she moved earlier this year. Which left me without a stylist and I’ve just been pretty much afraid to try someone new. So, I’ve been letting it be for as long as I could stand it, but it was starting to just look a little dull and of course, in need of a trim. I gave someone else a try this past week and love the result! I don’t put a lot of color on my hair, just a glaze to shine it up and deepen my natural color a bit, but it feels good! Fresh cut hair is the best.

Now that the big birthday is past, I’m looking forward to the holidays, already planning out some gifts and amping up for B Friday, you know! Anyone else as excited as I am?

That sweater vest is perfection!
That sweater vest look so comfy and is definitely something I could pull off at my office. Your little guy is so handsome and I’m glad that his party went well! Your hair looks great too. My stylist had a baby last year and decided not to come back so I know exactly what you went through. It is so never wracking trying to find another person! Sierra ~ Beautifully Candid
That sweater vest is so dang cute! I always thought longer vest would make me look shorter, but you’re making re-evaluate it. Looks fantastic! I’m wearing camo jeans, striped shirt and a black vest today 🙂 So comfy!
I love sweater vests, they’re so cute, chic and cozy. What a great addition to your wardrobe for fall. http://mariannyc.com/2017/10/30/5-ways-to-style-trackpants/
Haha yes! Most of the pictures I took that day he was just sitting there looking sad, I’m like please smile!
I have some of those F21 leggings too and they are so comfortable! I’m pretty sure mine are see through haha, but I do love to wear them too!
This is one of my first sweater vests too, now I’m like what was I waiting for!
Thanks Samantha!
I think so too! Thanks Courtney!
Thank you Becky!
I was so afraid to get a botched hair cut, haha! But I’m glad I found this girl. The funny thing is right after I saw the other stylist, my long time stylist said she was coming into town for the holidays and would take some appointments! I feel like I should squeeze another cut with her!
I avoided them for a while for the very same reason, but I love this one!
Thank you Mariann!
Such a perfect outfit! I have been eyeing that vest. He is so precious. I cannot believe he is 6!

I love this! That sweater vest looks like something I may need for work. My classroom has huge, old windows and it’s always FREEZING in the morning! This would be a great layering piece to just keep in the classroom!

My office is more casual as well, which makes it easier to dress. (Plus I have very little contact with anyone). Love this super cute look!
