Long Sweater + OTK Boots

I don't know about you guys but I have been living in sweaters lately. Last fall/winter I kept reaching for comfy and cozy sweaters that, sadly, didn't exist in my closet. I had like 4 sweaters that I kept rotating - made for a boring cold weather wardrobe. This season I really made a point to find soft sweaters that would hold up for multiple seasons and have that perfect cozy winter fit. This one is so comfortable and the oversize fit is perfect for this time of year. 

I absolutely LOVE wearing baggy sweaters or tops with leggings and over the knee boots for fall. Not only is the look comfortable, but OTK boots instantly dress up the outfit. I have a couple of pairs of leggings that have a faux leather look and they are perfect for this type of outfit. These ones are absolutely amazing and are so incredibly flattering. In my opinion, OTK boots and a pair of faux leather (or leather looking) leggings are wardrobe staples for the fall - the outfit possibilities are endless. Check out the tool below for some of my current favorite sweaters that check all the boxes - soft, cozy and the perfect fit. 

Last but not least, have you seen the holiday gift guides I've created? I have a whole section on my blog dedicated to gift guides right now. I have a few more that I'm going to put out this week - just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Speaking of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I'm going to have a list of all the deals happening up on my blog tomorrow evening (hopefully). Think of me as your shopping and gift giving resource! Keep checking back this week as I keep my holiday section updated. 

Have a happy Thanksgiving my friends, I'm thankful for all of you!

FITNESS LOVERS GIFT GUIDE UNDER $100

FAUX LEATHER BACKPACK - $88

WHY I LOVE IT: Backpacks are a hot trending item right now. I love this one because the leather details add a cool, athleisure vibe. 

STAINLESS STEEL WATER BOTTLE - $35/$45

WHY I LOVE IT: A cool water bottle is the perfect gift for a fitness enthusiast! This one comes in two different size offerings. Plus, this gold color is so cute!

HIGH WAIST LEGGING - $54

WHY I LOVE IT: Black leggings are a fitness staple, actually more like a wardrobe staple in general. I love these because both the fit and quality are fantastic for the price.  

CAMO SNEAKERS - $50.98 (on sale!)

WHY I LOVE IT: I have a serious sneaker obsession. They're obviously perfect for athletic lovers, but also look cool for everyday wear. I love how these are super lightweight with a fun pattern and totally fall into the athleisure vibe.

NYLON BASEBALL CAP - $28

WHY I LOVE IT: Black baseball hats are a necessity. I wear mine ALL THE TIME. So easy to throw on after a workout to cover sweaty hair and instantly look cool. There are other colors available if black isn't for you

HIGH TOP SNEAKERS - $89.95

WHY I LOVE IT: How cool are these? They totally fall into the athleisure vibe. Throw these on with your leggings, baseball hat, and backpack and you instantly look cool after a workout. 

BOMBER JACKET- $74

WHY I LOVE IT: The perfect layering piece to throw on after a workout class. It's sporty-chic and instantly adds style to keep you looking cool after a sweat sesh.

FITNESS KIT - $22

WHY I LOVE IT: The cutest little kit to keep in your gym bag. Has all the essentials you need and makes a perfect gift.

WATERPROOF GYM BAG - $88

WHY I LOVE IT: Speaking of gym bags - every fitness gal needs a good gym bag to hold all the necessities. This bag is durable, great size, has cool leather detailing and the right amount of style. Who says gym accessories have to be boring and ratty?

STATEMENT CREW NECK - $79

WHY I LOVE IT: Nothing better than throwing on a comfy sweatshirt after a workout class. This one is versatile and can be worn with anything. Plus, a fun statement makes it just that much cooler.

SWEATPANTS - $89

WHY I LOVE IT: Comfy sweatpants for after class or lounging are a must. These are super cute and say "Nama'Sleep" on the side. I know expensive sweatpants seems silly, but I recently caved and bought a pair on the pricer pair and I'm so glad I did. Even though they're baggy, fit and style is still important. Plus they can easily be styled and look cool for a day of errands or running around. 

GRAPHIC POUCH - $38

WHY I LOVE IT: Throw your necessities or secret things in this pouch and either throw in your gym bag or carry on its own. How cute is the graphic and design? As a fun gift, you could stuff this cute little pouch with fun goodies that the recipient loves (candy, gift cards, lipgloss, etc.)

GRAPHIC TANK - $48

WHY I LOVE IT: Graphic tanks are so cool right now. There are so many fun graphics and phrases - so fun for a workout outfit. I love the message of this one and the tiny hits of shiny gold - instant cool factor. Tip: Spiritual Gangster (brand of this tank) tends to fit on the tighter side. For a looser/more baggy fit, size up (sometimes I even go for a large when I want an extra baggy fit).
