Quilted
Love these leggings so much so, that I am putting them on repeat. I have worn them before (here) as part of my casual weekend daytime wear. But on a recent dinner double-date night with some friends, I decided to swap out a few things to take it from day to night and from Fall into Winter. Nixed the wrap cardigan for a graphic print blouse; exchanged the flats for studded pumps (and some extra height!) and added a few silver strands to my neck. An off colored clutch infused a hint of yellow to a pretty muted color palette.
To be honest, I had an ulterior motive in putting this particular outfit together. A dinner date with our friends usually means consuming plenty of food. Que in the stretch in the leggings and the loose fitting blouse, both of which together make for a very forgiving outfit. Chic and comfy, what more can a girl ask for?
