Real Outfit Roundup: 12 Winter Outfits to Copy Right Now
I'm a little behind on this edition of Real Outfit Roundup, but last week was Christmas so what are you gonna do? This is a collection of twelve outfits I wore in real life starting back on December 11th and running through December 27th. Obviously that's less outfits than days so I missed a picture here and there...or more likely, I spent a couple days in my pjs.
Let's get started!
Sizing info: I'm 5'2" and around 150 lbs. I typically wear size 6/8 or medium in tops and dresses, size 6 in pants and skirts, and size 7 in shoes.
This outfit initially started out as a comfy work-at-home outfit. Soft, oversized gray t-shirt and my favorite boyfriend jeans. Then, my dad called and asked if I would help him finish his Christmas shopping, so I pulled on my moto boots and leather jacket and threw my hair in a half-ponytail using one of my scarf scrunchies. It wasn't very festive, but the boots were super comfortable for all the walking and checkout line-waiting we did that day, and my jacket kept the wind out.
You'll see these boots repeated a bunch throughout this post. They're surprisingly versatile and really comfortable. Plus, I like that little bit of edge they add to my outfit. (Also, they're marked way down right now!)
Outfit Details
Shirt: Target (exact, wearing M in charcoal gray)
Jacket: Nordstrom (exact, wearing size 6)
Jeans: Old Navy (exact, wearing size 6)
Boots: Shoe Carnival (exact, wearing size 7)
Hair Tie: Amazon (exact)
We're going to skip right over the weekend to the next Monday. I honestly don't remember what we did that weekend, and there's nothing written in my planner. At any rate, I didn't take any photos.
On Monday, I was pretty much glued to my computer all day working. I'd had this over-sized blue flannel shirt in my closet for awhile and it's finally been cold enough to wear it. I didn't like it with any of my regular skinny jeans and didn't want to wear black, so I opted for white skinnies instead. I rolled them slightly to give my socks a little more room and then kept my boots neutral.

Shirt: Old Navy (exact, wearing M in navy plaid)
Jeans: JCPenney (exact, wearing size 6)
Socks: Amazon (exact)
Boots: Target (exact, wearing size 7)
Tuesday was another day I spent glued to my desk. My to-do list on that day was really long, so I didn't put much effort into getting dressed, as you can see. My tried-and-true moto leggings from The Limited (may they rest in peace) and this oversized purple sweatshirt were the order of the day. These boots were probably still in my office when it was time to go pick up Alexis, which is how I ended up wearing them.

Leggings: The Limited (similar)
Boots: Shoe Carnival (exact, wearing size 7)
I did make an effort on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I went to the post office and maybe the bank. I love these moto boots paired with a maxi dress, especially this leopard-print one. My socks also have a little bit of leopard print because why not?

On Thursday, I got my hair cut, and boy did it need it. This picture is pre-cut, in case you're wondering. I kept most of the length but trimmed up my layers and cut my face-framing pieces back in.
I'm honestly on the fence about this sweater and skirt combo. They technically match, but the whole thing doesn't feel cohesive. I think it could be the vast difference between the two materials and how much thicker the sweater is than the skirt. Whatever, I wore it all day anyway.
I got these boots with some leftover birthday money. They're so much fun, even if they aren't the most practical. They're really comfortable, although if you've got bigger calves you may want to consider a bigger size as they're really tight. I got mine from Shoe Carnival but can't find them on the site, so I had to link to the company page where unfortunately they're a good bit more expensive than what I paid.

We're skipping ahead again. Alexis came home from school sick with strep throat so we spent the weekend in recovery mode. Hence, no pictures.
Monday was a weird day. I had to work but we decided to keep Alexis home as a precaution since she was still getting over being sick. Since we didn't have plans and it wasn't freezing cold, I decided to try something out of my comfort zone by pairing tights with shorts and a sweater. I don't know that this is something I'll do on a regular basis, but I definitely don't hate it. What do you think?
My shorts are made by Universal Thread, but this exact style isn't available anymore so I'm linking to their product page instead.

Tuesday was a little more relaxed. I didn't have as much to do for work, and Alexis was feeling much better. Still, we didn't leave the house (that I remember) so I opted for gray leggings and this festive-ish tunic. I added a lacy camisole underneath to make it feel a little more girly and less lumberjack. I'm pretty sure I only put my boots on for the picture, to be honest.

I struggled so hard to put this outfit together Wednesday. I knew I wanted to wear a plaid button down over a graphic t-shirt but nothing seemed to go together. So finally, I settled on this oversized cream-colored v-neck and went through every plaid shirt I own until landing on this one. I decided to knot the bottom instead of doing a front tuck, paired them with a pair of "mom jeans," and grounded it all out with my moto boots. I feel like I could have had a guest appearance on a 90s show...

Which brings us to Christmas Eve. I wanted to feel festive without being uncomfortable, so I reached for my sparkle Stevie pants (which are like leggings only thicker) and my super old but always in style fair isle sweater. I ended up changing out of the oxfords for our first Christmas celebration because the temperature plummeted after lunch but didn't get a pic of the change.
I also wanted to take a minute to talk about my new wallet. It's got a detachable wrist strap so you can carry it like a clutch, which I do often. It's got plenty of card slots, plus enough room for my phone. The only thing I struggle with fitting is my keys, but I think that's because of a specific keychain that I refuse to take off.

Christmas day was all about the plaid. I don't actually have any bright red plaid, so I wasn't all matchy-matchy, but whatever. I picked my sweater up from my local Target but can't find it online. I'm linking to the style though.

Shirt: JCPenney (similar)
Sweater: Target (same style)
Skirt: Amazon (exact, wearing size L in green plaid)
Alexis's Dress: Old Navy (exact)
The day after Christmas we headed down to see my Granny for our first Christmas without PawPaw. This was actually my third outfit choice for the day. My first outfit didn't work out because my skirt was too tight. Then my second outfit was a no-go because my sweater wouldn't lay right over my dress. I wasn't 100% satisfied with this one either. I didn't like my jeans tucked into my boots or rolled under like I ended up wearing them, but they didn't look right with any other pair of shoes I tried on with them, and after 20 minutes I got frustrated and decided to go with comfort.

Sweater: Target (exact, wearing M)
Jeans: Old Navy (exact, wearing size 6)
Boots: Shoe Dazzle (exact, wearing size 7)
The Sunday after Christmas was a day spent putting things together and relaxing. So my new oversized sweater and black Stevie pants from Old Navy were perfect. These pants really are the perfect alternative to leggings. They're stretchy but thick and I love the little crease lines on the front and backs. This sweater is just like the green sweater I wore with the shorts earlier in the week. It's thick and stretchy, thankfully not itchy. It's slightly longer in the back, but not enough to be annoying, and the mock neck doesn't feel like it's choking me. I kinda want to order it in every available color.

Well, that'll do it for this edition of Real Outfit Roundup. If nothing else, maybe this post will inspire you to add a pair of moto boots to your shoe collection! Have a great last week of 2020!
