{ love the look } Easy Glam

Now that the holiday festivities are over, I've put the party dresses back in the closet in favor of cozy layers. Simply pairing a slouchy sweater with a knit skirt is a deceptively comfortable ensemble - and those elastic waistbands slide easily over any post-holiday pounds! A pair of sparkling earrings adds just enough versatility to go from brunch to evening cocktails with grace.

    I think they should sell all elastic waist skirts and pants after Christmas, at least for a month or two!

    You're so right - a slouchy sweater with the right accessories and a good skirt is a great way to glam up a casual look.

    This look is calling to me!
    I want to go out and buy every oversize slouchy sweater in sight and cozy up with some comfy leggings.
    This idea of sparkly earrings and skirts is nice too. If I want to leave the couch ;)

    Chic on the Cheap
