Comfy Cozy OOTD

Comfy Cozy OOTD

Hi! Going to the movies is one of my favorite things in the world and I love checking out what’s hot in horror or anything else that strikes my interest on the big screen. I frequent the local Cinemark with Johnny, my friends, and family at least twice a month and there is just nothing better than loading up on snacks and getting lost in the cinematic universe for a few hours. As you all know, I love to dress up for any and every occasion but that was so not the case the last two times I hit up the movie theater. The live recording of Hadestown and The Odyssey were both long AF and, for once, I could not be bothered to dress for cuteness lol. In those situations, it was all about comfort to settle into the almost three hour flicks! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Rock On Hoodie: Zoe + Liv, Target

The sweats are just an old pair I work out in lol – like I said, I could not be bothered for cuteness!

Sneakers: Adidas, TJMaxx

Wow! That’s a totally different look than what you usually see me in but the thing is, this is how I look 95% of the time! During the work week, I am sporting no makeup, a hoodie or t-shirt, and jeans or shorts. The OOTDs I post on here are reserved for weekend dates with Johnny and outings with friends. Johnny and I both get up at the buttcrack of dawn for work and I just don’t have the time or desire to get myself done up to meet with clients or do content shoots after my morning work from home rush. And you know what? That’s okay!

Back when I was a teen and early twenty something, I would have been shocked to read myself say I go to work comfy and bare faced a decade later. In the olden days, I wouldn’t have left the house without makeup and a cute outfit! As I have gotten older, however, I simply don’t care as much lol. My clients all know what I look like, my content shoots all revolve around working outside, and I would rather eat a good breakfast and watch an anime in the morning over doing my makeup. That is honestly my favorite part of the morning and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😀

No matter what I leave the house in whether it’s a full fit or lounge wear, I’m rocking it because I’m me. And the same goes for you too! This Comfy Cozy OOTD is a reminder that what you see online is usually far from what you see in real life. That’s why I’m posting this outfit and share bloopers from my OOTD shoots because that’s Lil Red too! I might look put together in the clothes I style, but I am still a goofy, imperfect, often fresh faced gal and don’t care who knows it. Especially because I was probably the comfiest person in the theater when I saw The Odyssey!! Lol GREAT SUCCESS.

This is Lil Red IRL but trust and believe I will be putting a few killer OOTDs together this weekend for the plans in my calendar. Stay tuned for the latest and greatest! ❤

How do you dress on a normal day? How are you required to dress for work? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pajama Party OOTD

Pajama Party OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a Pajama Party OOTD! I was so excited to start a new job last month and couldn’t help but treat myself to some new duds from 5 Below – AKA the perfect spot for all of your little treat needs! I decided a year or so ago that I was desperately lacking in the pajama department and 5 Below offers the cutest and most comfy PJs for a song. In fact, I have yet to find cheaper at TJMaxx. During my past haul, I couldn’t say no to a pair of their fuzzy pajama shorts in an adorable Winnie the Pooh motif as well as a hoodie to match. The hoodie is way too sweet to just save for bed though and I am wearing it as I type this to go to work in! Take a look at this cozy little combo that was just twenty-two dollars in total:

Who? What? Wear?

Winnie the Pooh hoodie: 5 Below

Winnie the Pooh shorts: 5 Below

The Wicked slippers were a gift from Johnny’s aunt even though I have never seen the movies lol. Hey, they are comfy AF!

This past weekend was a practice in vegging out after a very long few weeks. All Johnny and I wanted to do was relax and play our new video game, Reanimal. (Spoiler alert: It’s freaking awesome!) As luck would have it, I had my brand new Winnie the Pooh gear to lounge in for the ultimate in sitting on the couch. I know I’ve said it before, but how absolutely adorable is the Winnie the Pooh line from 5 Below?! Not only does it have the “aw” factor but this hoodie and pajama bottom are so well made that it’s hard to believe it was barely over twenty bucks for the set. I could not imagine finding any Winnie the Pooh merch like this for a lower price! Could you imagine how pricey it would be at Hot Topic or Boxlunch?

I got hip to the fuzzy pajama bottoms from 5 Below during spooky season and my only regret is that it took me so long. They are soft as can be and fabulous for wearing all year round if your place is warm enough. I actually could have benefited from wearing them over leggings this weekend because Fake Spring ended and it starting snowing again. That’s nothing my Christmas gift heated blanket couldn’t solve, though! While my legs were nice and toasty with that extra warmth, my upper half was so not complaining in the fleece lined hoodie.

The Berry Sweet hoodie is literally out of Goldilocks – It’s not too hot, not too light, but just right! Sometimes a garment with fleece lining can be stifling and that is not the case at all with this hoodie. It’s thin enough without bringing on the sweats while still feeling like you can just wrap yourself up in it. Like I said earlier, I’m wearing it right now and am so comfy I could just go back to bed lol. That crystal blue color and Berry Sweet motif is enough of a sugar rush though that I swear I’m wide awake! *Fingers crossed* 😀

I may not be a Wicked fan like my slippers would make you think but I just love that honey obsessed Pooh Bear. Shout out to 5 Below for keeping me styling whether awake or asleep!

What was your favorite show growing up? Are you a 5 Below fan too? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Weekend Of Lounge

Weekend Of Lounge

Hello!! Johnny and I literally don’t do anything during the work week so we are legit always working for the weekend lol. Our work schedules really don’t allow for many extracurriculars and we try to squeeze in as much fun as we can once the weekend rolls around. This past weekend, however, there were no plans. Well, there was one – to do nothing. On Friday, I got my Covid and flu shot and it was strategically scheduled. I have not had the best reactions to the Covid shots and knew that I would need a weekend of recuperation to be okay for work on Monday. Needless to say, I will most definitely be looking forward to some actual enjoyment after this week is out!

I got my shots mid afternoon on Friday and I was still feeling fine until late evening rolled around. Then, my arm started to ache with the force of one thousand suns and I got so very, very tired. That night, I must have slept for at least twelve hours and I know for a fact I was running a fever the entire time because I woke up covered in sweat and damp clothes. Not cute. Apparently, I also had some crazy dreams that night because Johnny claimed I did a lot of talking in my sleep lol – unknown side effect of the shot, perhaps? Or perhaps NOT because I supposedly talk in my sleep really frequently.

Once I got over the grossness of my sweatiness, I was jolted awake by how achey I felt. Everything was stiff and every once in a while it felt like a jolt of electricity going through my arm or to make a consistently pounding headache interesting. I think I got up from the couch on Saturday like six times and I would return back to my nest feeling like I had just run a marathon. Other than watching So. Much. Degrassi. the major high point of that miserable day was talking to my blogging bestie, Kate, of Live In The Nautical on FaceTime. The two or so hour chat paled in comparison to our previous personal best of seven hours but your girl was dying over here!

On Saturday night I think I slept twelve hours again, had a fever the whole time, and spent a majority of the day sore and fatigued. Then, around late evening I started perking up and was good as new – or as good as I can be on a Monday morning. It was annoying to spend the weekend laid up but this was actually the mildest reaction I’ve had yet so great success and glad to have an extra layer of protection this winter! 😀

How was your weekend? What makes you feel better when you’re not feeling well? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
