I picked three items from Monroe and Main’s Holiday Collection: the Blanket Stitch Sweater, a black Fleece-Lined Leggings, and the Oversized Knit Eternity Scarf. While browsing their catalog, it looked to me like these 3 items are very versatile and can easily be dressed up and down depending on where you’re going.
So I paired the Fleece-Lined Leggings with a short dress that I got from Monroe And Main a few months ago. This is pretty much my generic style during Fall and Winter. I just layer it with a sweater and/or a scarf depending on how cold it’ll be.
And so I topped my dress with the Oversized Knit Eternity Scarf. This scarf is literally oversized and you can see how it bunches up on my neck and chest area. But I love that it really feels warm!
The same is true for the fleece-lined leggings. I’ve never worn fleece-lined leggings before I got this from Monroe and Main and wow! It feels great on my legs!!! I don’t think I’ve ever loved wearing leggings this much. I loved it so much that I didn’t take it off anymore after trying it on.
Because I loved the feeling of these fleece-lined leggings, I decided to buy another one like it at a local store. Unfortunately, it didn’t feel as comfortable as these ones from Monroe & Main. But I guess that’s a testimony to the quality of products we can get from M&M!
Now if I need to rush to an evening party, I can simply put my Blanket Stitch Sweater on over my dress. No need for the scarf unless it’s really that cold.
I just switch my accessories to something more appropriate for an evening event, do a retouch of my makeup (put on some false eyelashes and a brighter lip color, maybe?) and slip on some awesome heels and voila! Ready for some evening fun!
