#CozyOnDown With Cool Sweater Weather Looks + Silly Tweets
Pretty sure I coined the #cozyondown hashie as I have strung those words together in autumn and winter even before blogging was born. (Oooooh, that’s a mighty long time, doncha know.)
If you are thinking about shopping Jenni Kayne – everything is 20% off at the moment, and this rare indeed. They sell out of their merch so they never have to run sales!
Neutral Color to Layer for Years!
Another hashtag I love is from J. Crew: #cozydoesit!
I might wear one of J. Crew’s tissue turtlenecks underneath this wide stripey sweater (yes, m’am, layers of sweatah in Northern Illinois is reasonable for this fairy).
Here’s a piece that is so smart and sensible. Imagine a crisp white shirt beneath it or a navy turtleneck under it.
Ohhhh, trendy fashion. You drive me crazy. Remember pre-90’s when getting caught in a velour jogging suit was grounds for fashion jail and suggestive of grandparenthood? Then it suddenly became perfectly acceptable to wear the suit in pink if your booty was tone, and if rhinestones boldly bling-ed out a brand’s name.
Today? First of all, dressing like your granny is chicer than chic. And leggings (even leggings that are essentially tights) and yoga wear are the norm…no toned physique required. I wear these with a long sweater:
If you’re into blushy-brown neutral colors, you may may also like this fuzzy wuzzy loungey option:
Sweater Weather Favs From the Factory
Do you know about J. Crew Factory? I had my doubts, but after multiple orders have been pleased with the value. These tissue turtlenecks are fitted yet comfy as they’re lightweight and perfect for layering.
In fact, to me, they are more comfy than a t-shirt with the bonus of keeping my sun-damaged neck warm and covered. While I know a neck-revealing age is not worrisome, I also know it takes time to feel at home with the changes aging brings. It simply takes time to get used to seeing loose crepey skin and accepting that it has served you well.
I love all my pieces from Jenni Kayne, and their quality means they are going to still look great years from now. Buy now, cry now, and be glad later.
If you have yet to discover the goodness of Jenni Kayne…oh la la.
Favorite Cozy Pajamas
Okay. Pajamas. I am not tired of my pajamas in this cheerful blue color:
I love wearing light pinks all year long, and my tees from J. Crew stay looking good year after year.
Keep Those Tootsies Cozy
Luxurious Vs. Low End Socks
What say ye? One pair of luxurious, well-made, gorgeous cashmere socks in a rich Stone color?
Or multiple pairs of heathered camp socks?
Cozy Coats in Delightful Neutrals
Who names the clothing and accessories because I want the job! “Cocoon Coat?” Oui, mon cherie, you sound like an experience and not just outerwear.
Topcoat & a Magic Time Eraser
For a very ’90s layered look, pair a top coat with a hoodie. (My longstanding opinion is hoodies subtract years from EVERYONE who wears them. Is it because gobble gobble necks get covered?
I’ve heard it said that hoodies make adults look ridiculous. But it truly depends. I’m always reminded of this magic trick when I see my dad in a hoodie – at least 10 years disappear.) Just a basic grey one will do:
And a pair of Aviators will never fall from favor:
Don’t they remind you of adventure?
Leopard Accents…For No Good Reason

Fun post and timely. Watched my husband trying to find something in the kitchen, just after I finished reading your post.
Wanted to ask about the green malachite (?) earrings? Didn’t see a link for them and a birthday is coming up. Hopefully I’m not also oblivious to what’s right in front of me 😉

Hahaha. Those earrings are so fabulous and were sold out when I checked. Maybe they’ll get more stock. They’re here: https://rstyle.me/+rgmuRtoOLu3L7AJh_JnuZQ
