There's something truly magical about this time of year. There's a multitude of holidays to make the cold weather more bearable, opportunities to brighten someone's day and a chance to wear something special!

But when it comes to wearing something special, there's another important thing to remember...

You can be as cute as can be but if you're not warm, you're NOT going to be happy.

Ok, maybe that's just me...but I've said it before and I'll say it again - I will not sacrifice comfort (and warmth) for fashion. Never. Ever. My husband ALWAYS makes fun of me for this - he asks me constantly, "why do you need everything to be so soft and comfortable?" UMM BECAUSE I CAN. Hello.

This summer was all about throwing your dress over a tee, but this winter, I'm switching it out for a cozy turtleneck. This one from Uniqlo is super soft, but still lightweight. I don't like my turtlenecks to make me feel like I'm suffocating.

Then - the star of the show - THIS DRESS from South Moon Under. SMU has become one of my top 5 favorite stores this year. I always find something I love and they have such a wide variety of pieces without the selections being overwhelming. I just bought this fuzzy jacket and have been wearing it non-stop since it arrived.
