Here’s a post featuring my favorite Cosmo!

 

Casual Holiday Style

It’s sweater season, and I love wearing fun oversized sweaters during the winter. This sweater poncho is from Peach’s winter collection.

This effortlessly easy poncho will be your go-to look for your everyday and the upcoming holiday party circuit. It features a flattering mock neckline and chic asymmetric crossover design that elevates this otherwise classic, cozy silhouette. It also comes in black.

Dress it up or down with a change of shoes to fit the occasion – this oversized fit is perfect for indulging in holiday treats with friends and family.

A scarf is the most effective way to transform an otherwise plain outfit. After all, a scarf is genuinely modern yet seasonless.

You can switch to your favorite holiday scarves for a more festive look! This silk print scarf is perfect for the fall season.

I am wearing faux leather pants from Peach with the poncho. I have had them since last year, and they are my favorite pants for colder weather! These pants are currently on sale, so I highly recommend you grab a pair! I love the stretch, and these pants look so great with so many tops!

Are you a martini drinker? What’s your favorite holiday cocktail?

Thank you to Peach for partnering with me on this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
