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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Winter Pink Skirt

It’s easy to rock spring colors in the winter, you just have to pair it with a darker color.

Top: I bought this ribbed turtleneck from Zara. This is definitely an essential piece to have for your fall and winter wardrobes.

Bottoms: I bought these high waisted baggy denim from Zara in Spain. I love how comfortable they are. The fact that they hug your waist makes it easier to wear baggy pants.

Like I said, I will try to rock a comfy look whenever possible. Dressing up doesn’t have to be difficult. Here’s another easy fit:

IMG_7806.jpeg

Organza Red Dress

The art of layering is one of my favorite things to learn and implement. It’s an efficient and timeless method for your wardrobe.

Organza Cover Dress: I purchased this cover dress on sale from Urban Outfitters. It’s a great way to add sleeves to any of your strap or sleeveless dresses. Not to mention, any color can go underneath it. I’d stick with red or neutrals to keep it a clean look.

Silk Slip Dress: I love slip dresses because they are so flattering and comfortable to wear. My husband says alone it looks like a “nightie”, but it’s so versatile and can be worn in so many ways. It’s a graceful look. I purchased this one from Aritzia, it’s sold out, but they tend to have other options from time to time. Here’s another option at Revolve.

Shoes: These are my favorite heels by Gianvito Rossi. The slip-ons are sold out, but here’s the alternative option by Gianvito Rossi.
