It’s odd how quickly weekends go from being about sleeping in, sipping coffee, and reading the paper to driving from sporting event to sporting event. So, how are you going to look pulled together when you really want to stay in bed? The colder months are easier to pull off than you think. It’s all about the outerwear. If you have a good looking puffer jacket, simple yoga style pants, a scarf to bring it all together, you’ll be fine. It almost doesn’t even matter what you have on under the jacket as long as you looked pulled together on the outside. I’m not even against wearing comfy UGG style boots as long as they are more rugged looking and less slipper like than the classic UGG. The weekend look is all about sporty-chic. You don’t want to look too dolled up, but you don’t want to look like a college freshman either. Think sleek, sophisticated, performance gear. Grab a big cup of coffee, and enjoy these years, because soon enough they will be driving themselves around.
