This grey sweater and black leggings look is definitely my kind of outfit! While not a fan of cold weather, I am a huge fan of cold weather attire. When I saw this cozy, cute and affordable sweater in TJMaxx a month ago, I knew it had to be mine! Frantically scouring the racks, I found the last of my size and placed it in my cart. Mission accomplished! I was so sure the sweater would fit, I didn’t even try it on. That’s very unlike me. I always like to try on items before purchasing, but in this case I went with my gut and purchased it anyway. In the end it worked out in my favor.

Before this purchase, I’d been looking to add a grey sweater to my wardrobe for quite sometime. It’s not secret that I wear leggings, a lot, so over-sized sweaters and tunics have become a wardrobe staple. When wearing leggings your top should cover your bottom. I also think wearing tops that flare out a bit or have slits on the side look very flattering on my figure when styling them with leggings, or even straight leg jeans/bottoms.
Aside from warm and cozy sweaters, I’m also a fan of stylish winter coats. Now let me clarify; I’ll choose to wear a fly cape over a heavy, bulky coat any day! I detest being hot, so capes are usually my go-to winter outerwear choices. However when the temperatures are disrespectfully low, I can suck it up and deal with a heavy, yet stylish, winter coat. This DKNY coat was a Valentine’s Day gift from hubs 2 years ago. He was tired of me wearing only capes and “heavy cardigans” during the winter and then complaining about being cold. Nice gesture, huh?

Coat: DKNY, Macy’s (Similar Style)
So tell me, what do you think of my grey sweater and black leggings outfit? Also, how do you feel about heavy winter coats? Let me know!

Oh, I can see why you had to have this sweater! It is a perfect length and I really like the knit pattern. You look so adorable in the beanie, too. I can so identify with your statement about not liking cold weather, but loving the attire. 🙂
Glad to see I’m not alone. 😉
I love that gray tunic sweater and the shoes are so chic and sharp. You look adorable in that cap too, Whitney.
