Last week, that little bugger Phil said there was going to be six more weeks of winter. He wasn’t lying – IT’S STILL COLD OUT THERE. Though the spring lines are already hitting the stores, I still have a need to curl up in a soft cozy sweater, especially at work. Admittedly, it’s hard to find a look that’s both professional and cozy. FEAR YOU NOT.
The key is to pair cozy with something that is more structured. I treated this sweater as a long jacket – layering it over a soft black t-shirt (more comfy-ness) and a pencil skirt (less comfy but professional). You could also could wear it over any fitted black dress. Cinching it at the waist, gives it shape and less frumpy. I added a little texture with the velvet dot tights and finished the look with some killer heels, creating the ultimate comfy-goes-to-the-office look.
Shop this look and similar items I love –
I really like the mixture of textures you have working here.
Thank you! I really love playing with textures.
I love those earrings! I’ve been really into hoops lately!

Me too!
Girl those tights are so cute, I am totally digging them.
Great tights.this look works!
that totally does look like such a comfy outfit to be wearing in the office!! 🙂 i love the belt detail too <3
I love the contrast of soft & cozy with the tough, structured belt.
Those tights are so cute! I envy everyone who actually gets to dress cozy this winter. Winter has been non-existent here in San Diego!
February is so tough for me because it’s around this time I’m just done with being cold! I’m so sick of winter now haha!
I love your outfit here, especially those tights! Polka dot tights are my jam!
I don’t usually do patterned tights, but I love a polka dot!
THis outfit is gorgeous! I love those earrings and the pretty detailing on your tights, gorgeous!
For someone who usually goes for gold, I’m obsessed with these earrings!
Love this look! I’m all about comfort – I think this is a great balance!
Crushing on those polka dot tights — so cute! I’m super bummed about winter being here and continuing; I’m so over the cold weather and ready to not be bundled up all the time.
I’m ready for spring too! If nothing else, so I don’t have to be uncomfortable under 3 layers of clothing.
Such a nice look on you! My office is always cold so even in the summer I’m wearing a sweater. Right now when I walk past the bathing suits in Target and I can’t even imagine wearing one haha!
I’m the same way.. I end up wearing sweaters year round.
I am not happy about a longer winter but here in Vermont I feel like there isn’t much hope for a shorter one- lol!! 🙂 Love those cute tights!
