Struggling With Sleep? This Rechargeable Sound Machine Is A Total Game-Changer
I was in Florida for a chunk of Christmas break, and I returned home to temperatures in the 20s. And I know so many other parts of the U.S. have it even tougher, but wow—it is COLD out there. January can feel like a long, gray stretch now that the holiday excitement has faded, it’s freezing, and honestly, there’s not always much to look forward to.
IMO that’s exactly why now is the perfect time to treat yourself. Whether it’s a cozy oversized turtleneck, a pair of chunky booties, or some jeans that make you feel like you actually have your life together, a few fun, practical fashion buys can be just the pick-me-up you need to get through this winter stretch.
Keep scrolling for a few of my favorite pieces to help brighten your wardrobe (and your mood) this January.
A chic turtleneck sweater
EDIKTED Isabelle Oversize Turtleneck Sweater ($56)
All I want to do is wrap myself in a blanket and lie down, but I guess this chunky turtleneck sweater is the chic alternative. I love how the slouchy, subtly oversized fit feels cozy without looking frumpy, and the ribbed trim adds texture. The gorgeous blue color also makes it feel a little more elevated than your typical winter sweater, so you can wear it around the house or out running errands without sacrificing style for comfort.
Warm, chunky booties
MIA Sefi Chelsea Boot ($49.99 – $59.99)
Wintertime means stomping through slush, sleet, and snow—and you want boots that can handle it all without sacrificing style. The MIA Sefi Chelsea Boot is durable enough for harsh weather, but cute enough to wear with everything from jeans to leggings. The tumbled faux-leather gives it a polished look, the wedge sole with sturdy lugs keeps you steady on slippery streets, and the rear-zip closure makes them easy to slip on and off.
Lip gloss for when you’re on the go
DIOR Lip Addict Lip Maximizer Gloss ($42)
I have at least one lip gloss on me at all times (right now there are three different tubes in my purse) and this gloss is by DIOR so… need I say more? It promises to smooth, hydrate, and make your lips look fuller, which sounds like a win all around. The refreshed formula is also 90% natural-origin ingredients, and the shades range from clear to shimmering holographic finishes. It might just be your new favorite!
Gold, Chunky Earrings
Ettika Teardrop Stud Earrings ($35)
One of the easiest ways to elevate an outfit is with the right jewelry, like these Ettika gold chunky earrings. Sculptural, shiny, and bold, they make a statement all on their own—just pull your hair back and let them do the talking! With 18-karat gold plating and a chic teardrop shape, they’re the perfect mix of modern edge and timeless shine.
A lounge set to laze around in
Nordstrom So Soft Sweater & Lounge Pants Set ($57.85 – $66.75)
I’ll admit that I spend way too much time in my PJs, but there’s something next-level about lounging in a matching set that actually feels put-together. With its super soft fleecy knit, relaxed V-neck sweater, and matching pants with an elastic waist, this lounge set is basically a built-in excuse to cozy up. Who says comfort has to be boring?!
A great pair of jeans
CITY BLUES Dover Straight Leg Jeans ($29.75 – $35.70)
Every closet needs a great pair of jeans, and right now I’m all about a straight-leg silhouette. I bet this pair from CITY BLUES makes it into your daily rotation—they’re flattering, versatile, and made from premium low-stretch denim in a light wash that works year-round. You can dress them up with boots and a cozy sweater, or keep it casual with sneakers and a tee (either way, you can’t go wrong!).
A belt that pulls everything together
Nordstrom Leather Belt ($24.99 – $59)
Sometimes all it takes to elevate an outfit is a simple accessory, and a great belt make all the difference. This Nordstrom leather belt pulls everything together, and its sleek glinting buckle adds a refined, finished touch to everything from jeans to dresses.
Remember, winter may be cold and gray, but that doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to be. These cozy, chic, and practical picks are the perfect way to treat yourself and make the season feel a little brighter!
