Casual & Cozy

I hope you had a wonderful New Year celebration. Unfortunately, I welcome 2012 with a terrible cold. I couldn't get up on NYE so we spent the night in our own home. There is no better way to end the year than popping a bottle of champagne by the fire place and making a toast with two of my favorite people in the world.



Just a quick post today to show you guys an outfit I wore a few weeks ago. Turtleneck sweater used to be my least favorite article of clothing, but it's growing on me. It sure does a great job at keeping me warm and hopefully, stylish? I love colors but sometimes the mood strikes for a completely neutral outfit. This is an outfit composed of all basic pieces but I think they mixed well together. Also, it isn't too hard to find neutral pieces in my closet =)


What I am wearing:
Dress (wore as skirt): Express striped dress - size XXS (buy similar)
Sweater: GAP - size XS (buy similar - 25% off)
Belt: H&M (buy similar in burgundy)
Tights: GAP opaque tights - size S
Jacket: BB Dakota Shelton (buy similar)
Booties: Banana Republic (buy this year's version)



As 2011 closes and 2012 is here, I want to thank each and every one of you for following my blog. I started this blog a year and half ago, not knowing if anyone would be interested in reading. I have been blown away by so many kind comments, new friendships made and the support of the petite blogging community. It's been a great year for PetiteLittleGirl.com and I am forever grateful.



Here's to a stylish 2012!

i love turtlenecks and i think they're stylish! i struggle with them because i feel constricted around my neck. i think it would take some getting used to!

Hey Sydney! Sorry to hear about your cold! My husband was starting to develop one on NYE as well. :( Luckily, it seems like he was able to fight it off!

This top is a nice cross between a turtle-neck and a cowl-neck! Love the dress as a skirt with this item...great idea!

Amazing outfit, I know how you feel about turtlenecks, I feel like I'm being choked! But that one looks nice and loose. I hope you're feeling better Sydney!

Unknown said...

Haha I've never liked turtlenecks either because I always felt claustrophobic in them, but this one looks really nice on you! Love your BR booties too :) Hope you had a great New Year's!

Super cute Sydney! Hope you feel better soon!

I saw on Twitter that you're still bedridden, so I hope you feel better soon! Turtlenecks used to be my least favorite item as well. I think it's all the turtlenecks I was forced to wear as a child under plain crewneck sweatshirts : ) But
"cowl" necks? Chic and cozy.

Lei said...

Very chic! I like your hair in a bun like that too!
Hope you feel much better, not a very good way to start the New year!

Hope you feel better soon, Sydney. This is the season to be sick, I guess. Nevertheless, you look amazing as usual. Wonderful idea of putting a thick cowlneck sweater over a summer dress. I just have to try it myself too. :)

Unknown said...
