This will basically be my outfit for the rest of the week. My husband is out of town for school and I just want to wear the comfiest and loose clothing I have - I don't seem to have the desire or motivation to look cute and put on makeup anything at all a skirt. But I told him and myself that I wouldn't just stay in bed and eat chocolates all week(end). I have a few GNOs, a sewing project, and lots of cleaning to do. I think it will be enough until he comes back Sunday night.
Wearing maroon scarf (gift from T), Gap sweatshirt ($11), J Brand jeans ($158), and thrifted boots ($8).
When I dropped my husband off at the airport, he gave me a stack of letters for me to read every night he is gone...and this was what he left me under my pillow last night. Isn't he the sweetest?? I miss him so much....

Aww, that was so sweet of him. Sunday night will be here before you know it! :)
Even your comfy outfits are adorable. Love your scarf and boots.

Your outfit is comfy yet pretty! Enjoy the weekend!
Okay, your husband is so stinkin' thoughtful and sweet!! The only thing my husband might leave is a stack of bills to bring to the post office, or something gross under my pillow. Not sure what, but not a cute stuffed dog!! LOL, okay, he's not as unthoughtful as I'm making him sound, but not as much as your husband. ;) Enjoy your weekend!! I'm in my comfey clothes today, too....a nice loose button up oxford(men's), and a pair of jeans. I wish I had a box of chocolates to eat right about now...it's been one of those days. Arrggg.

oh my goodness, that is just too cute!! you and your husband seem so sweet together.
i actually love seeing people cozy looks--there are so many interesting ways to put together off-duty outfits and you are especially gifted at the easy beautiful looks.
Awwwww, kinda remind me of the movie Dear John where they write letters everyday. Your husband is just so sweet. I think I'm in love with him already. Hahaha!
Love your laid-back look... still looking chic as always. xoxo

Yay for comfy looks! Your hubby is so very sweet leaving you with letters and something to cuddle with while he's gone. I hope that his time away will go in a flash and he'll be back ready to share all his adventures of his out of town school experience!
How sweet! When my boyfriend leaves town for the weekend, I have to remind him it's okay to call! Haha.
that's so sweet of your hubby!
and damn, i wish i can eat cookies, brownies and vanilla ice cream all week..(that is, without gaining weight! LOL).

♥ vanilla ice cream ♥
Love it. I need to get a yummy sweatshirt like that! :)
that is just the sweetest thing i have ever heard! what a cute guy! ps you still look like a knockout in the casual wear!
I love how you've dressed up your ultra comfy sweatshirt with a scarf! And I'm loving your bangs.
Oh, your husband is a love.
BTW, I'm super excited about your sewing project! I can't wait to see how it turns out. (Maybe I'll make myself one, too!)
Aw!! That is very sweet. I'm off to pick up my husband from the airport in 20 minutes, and i CAN'T WAIT! It's the worst when they're gone, huh?
You look so adorable in your comfy clothes! Whenever my husband is out of town, I have a bad habit of watching movies in bed with lots of junk food, and completely vegging out! haha!
aw! your hubby is darling for writing you letters! i'm digging your casual outfit and i especially like the fact that you're wearing your hair wavy - VERY PRETTY!
xo.

aw, your husband is so sweet!
That is the best sweatshirt ever. And dressing it up with the scarf and boots makes you really polished. For real, GAP should hire you to promote their clothes.
Aw darling, you're so lucky! Not only because you have the sweetest husband but also because you got a furry company and cozy outfits to wear while he is not home. (:
Have a great weekend!
P.S.: I loooved your full-of-pictures wall =D
Look at you with your glowy skin :)
So sweet with the notes and the puppy!
And S and I do the exact same thing {with the notes}. He leaves them in places like drawers and the fridge...anywhere he thinks I'll go while he's away.
Enjoy your down time :)
you look damn chic when you're comfy.

Gosh, I just love your boots!!!
Wow, that's so sweet! You guys must not be apart often, haha. My husband and I are pretty used to it now...we started out long distance and then he joined the military. Right now he's in Afghanistan but less than 3 months left until he comes back yay! Ok, rambling.. Such a cute outfit. That sweater always looks perfect! Those boots are really great to.
Awww! That is so sweet!
OMG, I am crying. What a sweet thing to do.
Awww, that was a really sweet thing (several sweet things) he did. You've got a good man! But I'm afraid you failed at not looking cute. =)
i really love this outfit. there's nothing better than being comfy and casual :)
and that's so sweet of your husband to leave you letters and a surprise stuffed dog. he'll be back before you know it!
Aww, your husband is so sweet!
Whenever my husband isn't around, I don't bother dressing up either. It's like... really... who do I have to impress, right?
haha.
You're still so effortlessly beautiful. Lucky!
I would definitely get a peacock headband! I've been wanting one for so song, and if I don't win I actually might buy it anyway!

ohhh that's absolutely adorable and romantic! =] I would love for someone to do that for me :) Your kind of comfort is still very chic my comfort looks like a guy/bum haha.
I think that outfit is beautiful! Simple and comfy but definitely not sloppy or overly comfortable looking!
Your husband is such a sweetheart!
your husband is a SWEETIE.
Wow, that boy knows how to handle a kitty ;)
Thank you so much for your congrats on my blog. I can´t quite believe i shall be able to serve as a source of inspiration...but i like that idea :)
As for your outfit: did you think about pairing it with black boots instead of brown ones? In my humble opinion brown and black just don´t do the trick...what do you think about it?
I love the outfit!!! I missed your blog!

Love the sweatshirt! Tres adorable.
And that was so sweet of your husband. :)

Hey I just came across your blog and I must say I really like it.
Your ABOUT ME section was really very intriguing, it made me look back on the things I own, the media has influenced me too much that I uncontrollably purchase something new every time I see beautiful things that others are wearing. Now I know, I do not lack clothes, I lack creativity and it's a long way for me to learn but I guess this is a start. Thanks! <3 Looking forward in reading more.

Awwww, cute! I hope you have a fun weekend!!!
Your husband is so sweet :)
I hope you have an amazing weekend!
Awww, what a sweetie! And romantic, too.
What a romantic husband!
I think the way you pair an oversized top with fitted jeans and great boots is simple yet chic and it's not at all like wearing sweats or pjs around the house.
Your hubby sounds like a total sweetie!
Aww, your husband sounds incredibly sweet! :)
Loving your boots, by the way!
you look so cute x
what a sweet husband! I think you still look cute as well as comfy. My husband is leaving for work on Monday for a few months, he can come back some weekends but during the week it will be hard =(
Aww what a sweetie!
Have a wonderful relaxing weekend!

You really do look really comfortable! Great choice.
Nice and comfy outfits...just my style ! Am I too old for boots ? When I was young, I had a wicked pair of high heeled boots that made me feel so powerful and pretty...and keeping the romance alive ( good for you two ) is one of the secrets for a long and happy marriage !
you look nice ñ_ñ
awwww! what a sweet thing for your husband to do for you!
The stuffed animal is so cute. Have a great weekend!

That is awesome that you and hubs keep the romance and sweetness alive.
And alone time every once in a while is good. Plus what's that old adage - "distance makes the heart grow fonder" or similar?
