Soooooooo, the Polar Vortex just hit Ohio annnnnnnddddd … it sucks. It literally sucks. It’s freezing cold outside! Every time I let Max out he looks around for only a few seconds and then he runs back in as fast as possible. Even dogs can’t handle it! I keep thinking of the “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” song and how I would sing it as “Baby, It’s Cold AF Outside” (hence the title of this post). I would literally mean it, you could easily walk outside and catch hypothermia within a minute. Stay safe and warm, don’t go outdoors!

On the bright side, I had classes canceled both today and yesterday. I also don’t have Friday classes, so this is basically another Thanksgiving break for me! It’s also supposed to get a little warmer this weekend. It ain’t gonna be crazy warm, but 50 degrees sounds a lot nicer than -2 degrees! That’s like spring weather to us Midwest folks 😂

In the meantime, I have the perfect cozy grey turtleneck from Aerie to keep me warm during the Polar Vortex. I actually bought this exact sweater - same size, same color - as a Christmas gift for my cousin Haley. It looked so cute on her, and she told me that it’s one of the coziest sweaters she’s ever worn. I waited till the post-holiday season sale to order it. It was only $23.98 (not counting shipping fees), and the original price was $60. Not a too shabby deal if I do say so myself, and neither is the sweater! 100/10 recommend it, but get it before it sells out!

Another few additions to my cozy indoor outfit are my favorite ripped boyfriend jeans from American Eagle (obviously I would only wear these inside at the moment) and tortoise frames. Let’s face it, you can never go wrong with comfy, baggy jeans and cute retro frames. #HipsterStyle4Life 🤓

Welp, it’s Monday. Back to the regular week schedule as I wait for Friday ...

Do you ever have those days when you want to look cute but would rather wear your comfiest sweatpants and sweatshirt? Honestly, I think a lot of us feel that way every day, especially me. Today is especially one of those days. It’s Monday, I woke up super early, and it’s gloomy outside. All of that makes me want to crawl into some comfy sweatpants!

Let’s get real … sweatpants are just more comfy than jeans or sometimes even leggings! As a college student, I normally try to go for a more basic comfy outfit for my daily classes. I don’t worry about how I look on campus for the most part (because let’s face it, college students could care less about what everyone looks like). However, there are times when I want to try to look cute, especially since I’m part of the fashion program where most students dress up for every class! Thankfully, I found a cozy AND chic outfit idea for all you lazy fashionistas! That was a joke, please don’t @ me in the comments …

When I went to New York City over fall break, I bought these light blue velvet jogger pants from Gap. Y’all, these pants are SOOOOOOOO cozy! I literally felt them once and I immediately had to buy them! I’m a sucker for velvet fabric, I have a lot of outfits that consist of velvet actually. These pants are perfect because they’re so comfy but also so stylish, and I’ve already gotten so many compliments on them! The only con about them is that the waistline isn’t altered properly, so sometimes it looks uneven. So don’t be concerned as to why my crotch looks uneven in some of these pictures 😂

And my mom bought me this super cute light pink pullover which was on sale at TJ Maxx. It’s a perfect size and the fabric material is super comfortable. And it’s pink, who doesn’t like pink sweaters?! To complete the outfit, my go-to casual shoes are my white Converse sneakers, my black Ann Taylor cat eye sunglasses, and a new sideways diamond cross necklace which I bought from Kohl’s.

And of course, no comfy casual outfit is complete without a grande skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks!
