The weekend wear is pretty consistent in the Olson family, especially on weekends such as this past one, where the temperature and wind chill dictate staying cozy and comfortable indoors. The kids keep on PJs, which are so cute I see no reason not to wear them throughout the day. The adults switch out of pajamas to sweats, which are a notch up from our pajamas in that they give the appearance that we attempted to get dressed, even if they feel pretty much the same as what we changed out of in the morning. I purchased this “sweat suit” because on looks alone it appeared to be super comfortable, and I was happy to later read about the mission and the approach of the brand, Threads for Thought.

The weather this time of year has a little bit of an identity crisis. Some days it’s sunny and chilly, others it’s cloudy and warm (relatively speaking); it snows on some days and is completely dry and clear the next. Layering becomes key, and I often reach for cardigans, wearing them as coats on the milder days – particularly if I’m toting kids and bags (mine and theirs) around, which always raises my body temperature a good notch or two. I’m a big fan of the longer length, and was recently complaining to a girlfriend that a few I liked were in the $200 – $300 range, which is just crazy. I found this one at Gap – a great style, super comfy and a great price.

I suppose the nautical look is timeless in many ways, but there has been a heavy fashion emphasis on the style over the last few years, and the trend seems like it’s continuing with the early spring looks hitting the stores. I love that the style is holding strong, as it’s one of my favorite looks. Across the spectrum of my closet you’ll see clothes with navy and white stripes, from some of the oldest pieces (a Tory Burch dress that I treated myself to when I first started at the law firm ages ago) to the most recent – this sweater just purchased.
