I know I’m definitely not the only girl who wants to hit the snooze for a whole hour on Monday mornings. However, for some reason, nothing irks me more than starting the week off with an outfit I threw together in three seconds and lacks all adjectives, especially style. I love the way olive-green and off-white look when paired together and if you live on the East Coast, you’re fully aware that Mother Nature isn’t always in our favor which is why I love layering my army jacket over this already warm sweater. Pair it with some matching socks and you’re in for a put together look while staying comfy and cozy in leggings. Feel free to switch it up and add jeans if the leggings aren’t working out for you.
Outfit Details: Sweater – Hollister, jacket- TJ Maxx, leggings – American Eagle, socks – Target, riding boots – Target, watch – Kate Spade, necklace – Forever 21, bracelets – Alex and Ani

A white sweater and riding boots is a combination that will never go out of style whether it be fall or winter. I like this outfit because it can easily be altered to your taste. The sweater on its own, a flannel underneath, or even a jacket over top are all ways to wear this simple and classy outfit. Not to mention the fact that nothing screams “quick outfit idea” louder than a sweater and some dark wash skinny jeans. I cuffed my sleeves for this look and added some of my favorite arm candy to dress it up a bit.

I always get tons of questions on how to style a white sweater, and it’s a pretty simple and cute outfit to create. I love styling sweaters in general, especially white sweaters because you can have so many options with them. Add, you can pull off some pretty cool bottoms, like these. I’ve got 2 casual outfits I’m sharing with you today. Before we head into the outfits, I’m gonna give you some styling tips just to make sure we don’t have a wardrobe malfunction ;).
TIPS WHEN WEARING A WHITE TOP
Make sure to even out your outfit when wearing a bright white top or copy your top. Like my outfit below, I balance the crisp white with a more dull and dark pair of jeggings and black booties.
Yes, you can wear white in the winter. No, it’s not a fashion sin.
Try pairing your white top with a pencil skirt and/or a scarf to give it more of a wintry feel and look. Another cute look for fall/winter would be to pair your white sweater with overalls and heeled booties 
To add more definition to your outfit, pair with some distressed denim, colored pants, or patterned bottoms.
Keep your accessories to a minimum, to keep your outfit clean and simple.
OUTFIT 1
top: American Eagle // bottoms: American Eagle (sold out of copper) // booties: Sam edelman
Up first, I’m wearing this gorgeous white sweater + copper jeggings + black booties. As you can see from the first picture, I definitely take a lot of time doing my hair for pictures, lol! Like my tip above, the outfit is balanced so you get the perfect amount of bright and casual. Lately, I’ve really been liking mock neck sweaters. It’s like a turtleneck without the commitment. Amiright ladies? I ordered a size bigger (normally an XS but this is a S) and it was def a little large. I shrunk it up, but it’s still a little large. Hopefully, it will shrink up after a few more washes. If you guys have any tips on shrinking outfits, comment below!! You definitely don’t need to size up for this sweater, wear your normal size! Plus, you can dress up this outfit with high-heeled booties, too!
Because I can’t wait, let’s talk about these jeggings. If you didn’t think copper-colored jeggings could get any better, they’re made of velvet. This is when I would cue my favorite saying “On a scale of literally to even I can’t”. Ever since Pitch Perfect I’ve kind of been obsessed with velvet. Is that weird? Didn’t think so. You guys know my love for comfy clothes, and these jeggings don’t fall short. This entire outfit is worthy of a LOTR binge.
OUTFIT 2
top: American Eagle // bottoms: American Eagle // booties: Nordstrom
Next outfit, I paired with some distressed jeans with heeled booties. I love these jeans with a passion. They’re seriously the best jeans ever, and have the perfect amount of rips. I love pairing these jeans with some graphic tees (tucking them in) with some converse, too!
Thanks for reading! Which outfit was your favorite? Don’t forget to head on over to my blog to check out McKenzie’s post, click here.
