Comfy & Trendy Winter Outfits

Hi guys! Here’s a reel for cute and trendy outfits this chilly season. It’s my favorite time of the year for fashion and I’m all about dressing comfortable, yet still cute. Below I’ll be linking everything that’s still available, most pieces are from prior years. It’s all about buying the versatile pieces you will wear often:

boat neck sweater

It’s very cozy and easy to style with a necklace or just a tank or layer it with a turtleneck as I styled it in the reel. I purchased it in beige, they currently have it in black or you can try a similar sweater.

thermal faux leather leggings

These faux leather leggings are an easy way to dress up and stay cozy. The material is this soft and padded texture, which actually repelled some food stains! I wouldn’t depend on it though, but I love how versatile it is.

No longer available online pieces:

• Mom/baggy jeans: Get yourself high waisted mom jeans, I purchased these from Zara early 2020. If you’re not into the retro baggy then go for the more tapered straight fit, which is a nice balance of the two and an easy way to recreate the 90s look.

• Light green turtleneck: I got this from Topshop in 2020, what makes this turtleneck sweater so versatile is that it’s a looser comfortable fit, any color can be easily styled with denim or trousers.

• Olive green statement sweater: I purchased these from Zara in 2019. For any versatile look, it doesn’t have to be a unique sweater, but any cropped sweater will go super cute with these comfy faux leather leggings lined with fleece as linked above.

BIBA high neck sweater

I was gifted this sweater by IKRUSH, use MARIAM10 for $ off. I honestly can’t stop wearing it. You can dress it up with jewelry and a headband to look cute or just be cozy with leggings. It’s so warm and the comfiest fit.

The Fall Culottes

With COVID-19 limiting our indoor fun, the fall season in 2020 has become a MUST-DO outdoor activities in order to truly participate in the Fall experience, at least in the Midwest. Yes that means pumpkin farms and corn mazes, but 2020 has taken it to the next level to also include sunflower fields. Also, as requested the majority are interested in hearing postpartum recovery essentials, so stay tuned it’ll be coming in the next few months as I recover myself, and share what really worked for me.

Top: I’m wearing a plain short sleeve tee with elastic sleeves from Zara I bought a few years ago. In some shots, I’ve rolled them up and folded under my shoulders to give more of the padded shoulder tees that’s currently trending. I highly recommend doing it with any plain tee that has sleeves, you can even use a rubber band to hold it in place and it’ll look just as good. Don’t buy into the fast fashion (as I mentioned I bought this from Zara haha reuse what you already have!), when you can seriously do it yourself.

Bottoms: I’m wearing these super cute chiffon pleated culottes. I bought them in Spain last fall and I love the look that they give. They’re also very comfortable. Maroon is extremely trendy this season and can be easily paired with both dark and light colors to create the “fall” look. Here’s a similar pair in white or different colors from Shein. I’d prefer a purchase from a more sustainable brand like Asos however and these are available in satin pink.

Bag: The minimal baby bag from Kibou.

Jewelry: The rose bloom necklace from Nominal. Use MARIAMSHIBLY for $ off your purchase. The Rahma and Sabr gold cuffs from Zudo. Use MARIAM15 for $ off your purchase. Earrings are from She’s Unique. Use MARIAM20 for $ off your purchase.

Shoes: Converses

Prego Punk Casual

The first time around I definitely didn’t take advantage of pregnancy fashion. I was just trying to find anything that would give me comfort. Now I’ve learned to appreciate maternity fashion and have thrown my own little twist on it.

Top: I got this flattering v-neck from Nordstrom. It’s comfortable and loosely fitted, which works for small bumps and any body type! It’s the perfect casual shirt.

Bottoms: I’m wearing paper bag waist jeans from Zara. I love them because they’re not tight on my belly and I can still fit into jeans! Here’s a similar pair.

Shoes: I’m wearing a booties that I got from Zara’s Fall season last year. Here’s a similar pair from Nordstrom.

Watch: I’m wearing this chic and classy Infinity 32 mm watch in gold with the brown leather strap from Nordgreen. It’ll go with anything all year round and add sophistication to your fits. Use MARIAM15 for $ off your purchase.

Bag: I got this purse from Mango last Fall. They sold out of black, but they’ve got the last remaining in white.

The Classy Power Suit

Power suits will never go out of fashion. It is well worth your money to invest in a few and in variety of colors. This one is definitely my favorite.

Top: I’m wearing one of the best blazers I’ve invested in and it’s by Massimo Dutti. I got this last Fall. There’s not many stores in the US, but they do ship. Given it’s class, it’s so easy to pair this blazer with any top. I decided to keep it minimal and go with your classic white tee.

Bottoms: I bought these jeans almost a decade ago from J Crew. I love the color and it’s definitely an essential to have in your closet. Here’s a similar pair from Banana Republic (regular size & petite size), and they’re currently on sale. Yes I am pregnant in this, I’m rocking my belly band from Nordstrom, which works like magic and is how I’m wearing my pants.

Shoes: I’m wearing my current favorite designer heels, Amina Muaddi.

Bag: My friend, Fatima found this Bottega Veneta pouch dupe from Shein — feel free to use her promo FATIMAQIL315 for more discount.

Accessories: I’m wearing this chic and classy Infinity 32 mm watch in gold with the brown leather strap from Nordgreen. It’ll go with anything all year round and add sophistication to your fits. Use MARIAM15 for $ off your purchase. My ring stack is from Maison Miru, I’m wearing the Moon & Star ring and the Callie ring. From Able, I am wearing the Cesar ring. My chunky chain necklace is from Amazon— I love the tone of this necklace and it’s always trendy.

MANGO Sale Under $100

I love MANGO. Although it is pricier than our usual stores like Zara, the quality is significantly better and much more worth it. They’re having a bomb sale right now and I took the time to share the best finds for under $100. This isn’t your “cheap” sale, but it’s really stylish pieces and high quality for their sale prices. They’ve also got free shipping for orders $29+ which is easily doable. Enjoy!

BLM & Me

I’ve been learning a lot from 2020 and I’m thankful it’s been educating me regarding the most meaningful concepts in life. The Black Lives Matter Movement has been inspiring and extremely informative. It’s not enough to be not racist, you need to be anti-racist in order for racism to actually stop. I’ve created a BLM highlight on my instagram page for you reference on what steps you can take to be anti-racist and end racism. This is extremely necessary, not just for Black Lives but moving forward as a whole and making the world a better place for current and future generations to live in. I’ll be creating a more detailed blogpost on actions you can take and informational sources for you to check out soon.

Tap on the picture to see what steps and actions I’ll be taking to ensure how I can support Black Matter Lives going forward.

Dress: I love cotton ribbed dresses especially high necks and they’re short sleeve, because you really have nothing to worry about. Not only are they comfortable to easily put on in the warmer seasons, but they easily fit to your pregnant belly as well. Unfortunately this exact dress is sold out, but I’ve found a similar one and another one in brown as well.

Cardigan: I purchased this one off Amazon and unfortunately the seller is no longer available, however, here are is a similar one and another one on Amazon that I love as well.

Shoes: I’m wearing my favorite slide-ons, the white Converses, which go well with any simple look.

Jewelry: I’m rocking the rose petal necklace in gold by Nominal. Use MARIAMSHIBLY to get $ off your purchase.

Soft Pink & The Bump

Neutral tones and soft pinks have always been my favorite. To get brighten up our quarantine, here’s a spring look that you can dress up or down.

Top: I bought this chiffon button down from Zara a while ago, here’s a similar top from Shein, Nordstrom or Target. I love how loose it is so it’s awesome to wear in warmer weather as well if you have a bump in the making.

Bottoms: I’m wearing distressed white skinnies that are perfect to brighten any look for spring or summer.

Shoes: I’m wearing my current favorite designer, Amina Muaddi shoes.

Jewelry: My pearl beaded bracelet is by Bellina Cantaeno. It’s authentic stone jewelry and use LADYMARIAM for $ off your purchase. I’m wearing the Callie ring, Cesar ring and the Moon Star ring.
