Brrrr! Nothing like a deep freeze and fresh snow to make you want to reach for those cozy sweaters. This year, I made an effort to seek out ones with distinct qualities to them, either in a vibrant color or with unique texture (like this one).

Outfit: Sweater: Anthropologie (still avail.) + colors /Scarf: Nordstrom, similar /Pant: LOFT (ancient), similar / Boots: Sorel ‘Tivoli’
I wore this outfit for apres-ski (which we all know is just hanging out a bar (!) and dinner out at a ski resort. It’s got a lodge feel to it, an updated knit pattern and these boots are great for scuffing around snowy streets. I’m all in favor of low boots on icy streets. When I see people trying to negotiate mountain roads in high-heel boots, I always say a little prayer for them!
There’s still a lot of winter left and I found these fun, mountain lodge-inspired sweaters in a range of prices ($45 and up). Click image to see more info:
I’m linking up with Patti at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday and Glamamom for Monday Mingle. Go check out all the lovely outfits today.
Stay warm today!

Thanks so much pretty lady!
Cool & comfy! Perfect! xxx
Thanks! I wonder how you would do apres-ski?!
I really like it when you put up pictures of yourself. That’s a very pretty sweater you are wearing. I also liked the pink one….and of course it cost the most. Stay warm! E
Doesn’t surprise me that you’d pick the pricey one — you have the designer eye! x Laura
You look simply elegant! Great background for a picture – simple – shows you off without distraction. Love the picture.
Thanks so much! You know how cold it was here. Brrr.
Now that’s a fine and cozy sweater!

I love me that gorgeous sweater! I wish I were there! Snow, skiing, roaring fireplace, Sorel boots, chunky sweaters….should I go on?
Any time you want to come, any time. Ski, hang in the lodge, it’s all good by me!

You look so cute and cozy. Living in NYC, I know how hard it is to stay stylish in the winter. Love the boots!
