A Casual Teddy Jacket

Does anyone else feel like the holiday rush is already upon you? No, just us?! I felt like such an adult because I had car repairs and a furnace tuneup on the same day. So this week flew by with planning and trying to get everything in order. We’re hoping that staying on top of it now leads to a more relaxing experience during family time. To be determined if it pays off, but here’s hoping! When we’re talking about slowing down and enjoying the holiday season, it’s more a reminder for us than anything. If it can help you at the same time, that’s a win!

With all that’s going on in our lives, we need to have functional clothing, aside from the fancy party looks that you look forward to this season. As much as my dream closet is all fancy dresses and twirlable skirts, I fully am a sweatpants and casual kind of girl. Caitlin would agree wholeheartedly. We’re two girls who are fully comfortable with looking less than put together. I’m just glad a lot of the items we’re buying lately don’t make you choose between looking cute or being comfortable. 

Last winter we got our teddy jackets from Long Tall Sally, and we still are rocking them with regularity in the cold temperatures we’ve been subjected too! If you can wear something that looks like a teddy bear and feels just as good, why wouldn’t you!? That’s why Caitlin was feeling this teddy borg jacket. It’s a more casual option that the lovely Long Tall Sally knee-length that we regularly wear to work and generally whenever we want to feel polished. Instead, this is like the athleisure cousin that will accompany you on errands or wherever else your weekend takes you. 

Plus, this could easily be the coat you throw on when leaving the gym in case you need to stop for a coffee/juice before heading home. The options are endless, and rest assured you’ll look good and feel polished. Caitlin bought it in size 10 – which is true to size. It has that slouchy oversized fit. However, if you are on the taller size the sleeve length on this jacket sadly won’t cut it for you. She paired it with a white scoop-neck tank and a pair of ripped Mom jeans from American Eagle. She has those in a size 10L. We’re getting to the point where it’s slightly risky to wear white shoes, but she’s rocking her Vans when she still can for a crisp finish.

As a bonus side note, Ellis James is doing a huge thank you sale right now! You can get 50% off any of their items including this travel bag we posted about.
