That’s right, i said it “Cozy”! If there was ever a mantra that describes my life right now that is it.
Most of us are either one of two kinds of people. We either get dressed with the full getup ready to tackle the plethora of zoom meetings OR we lounge around in our pj’s all day, only to change the top half when absolutely necessary. For me, none of these will do. I am sure i am not alone when i say (especially if you suffered before the lock down) that the mental health struggle is too real right now.
I strongly believe if you feel good, you look good and do good. Thus, i gave into the lounge wear trend, but with a twist. No need to spend thousands on matching sets or tie dye outfits, work with what you have to get that really comfortable but presentable look and feel. Getting up and starting your day, brushing your teeth, combing your hair and getting into a cozy fit, is just that boost your mental health needs to start off on the right foot.
Here are the must have (or do) S’s that keeps me going:
Sweats – If it’s not too slouchy, this is a great option. Everyone should have one somewhere in their closet and if not, a pair of tights will do.
Sweater– Pair your casual bottoms with a groovy sweater. The softer the better, no itchy stuff. If you don’t have one, “borrow” from your partner, even better!
Slippers – Oohhh yeah slide your feet into that soft stuff. If your’s is a bit worse for wear, use super thick winter socks to lounge around in.
Saucy – Get saucy! Add some makeup and a cute headband to complete the look. Sometimes a little extra effort does the trick. Cute AF!
Selfie – You feeling yourself today? Snap that and share your smile with the world.
There you have it! Best of all, you can thrift allot of these items. I have stacks of jerseys from second hand stores (probably from the 60’s) that is just screaming cozy. Better yet, i am sure you will find many unworn old hoodies and such in your families closets to add to your look.
Stay cozy friends! Till next time…
