Well, IT SNOWED! Hardly, but just enough to make it finally feel a bit more like winter. Whenever it snows, I instantly gravitate to my coziest sweaters. This one from Free People has quickly become my new favorite. It's not your typical sweater material, but more like a thick & warm cotton. I'm really excited for the springtime when I can wear it as a sweater dress! 

I paired it with a pair of jeans I've just re-fallen in love with. These destroyed skinnies from Free People are so cute with the rips, and I love that they are cropped to hit right at the ankles (since I'm pretty much always in ankle boots). 

Top it off with a hat, and I'm ready to go! Often times during the colder months this is the type of outfit that I wear most days, especially when I don't want to leave the warm house. Simple, cute & comfy, and adding a cool necklace or a hat personalizes it a bit more.

First post on the new, refreshed blog! It feels good to get back into something I used to enjoy so much. So here it is - Seventy Willows! Since I stopped style blogging back in 2014, my style has evolved and I feel like I've really found my personal stride. I'm done with college now and am back working as the MIT at Free People Farmington, which I am beyond excited about. Fashion and styling is such a huge part of my life, so I'm excited to share it with whoever happens upon this blog. 

So for the first post, I'm showcasing my absolute favorite flares from Madewell - the Flea Market Flare. (P.S. They're currently on sale!) These are basically my "power" flares, because I always feel so good when I wear them, which is the most important thing when it comes to what you're wearing. I think you should always feels amazing in what you wear - I have such off days when I don't feel comfortable and confident in my outfit. I paired the flares with a cropped sleeveless sweater that I picked up at Forever 21, and one of my favorite necklaces. A bit of a modern 70's look, which I'm SO into lately. 

Till next time!
