I’m going to assume we’re all dragging a little bit today, as is usually the case after Super Bowl Sunday. Have we all signed the petition for it to be moved to Saturday? Better yet, get Presidents Day (which I usually have off work) moved to be the Monday after the Super Bowl so we can all have a day to recuperate. Either way, you slice it, both would be much preferred to having a late Sunday night and then trudging through Monday sleepy. Hopefully, you all enjoyed either the game or the commercials (as is my only reason for watching). We’re writing this ahead of time, so we can’t pick our favorites in the post. Let us know yours (if any) in the comments!

The priorities with Super Bowl Sunday are always food and commercials for me! I don’t even particularly love the halftime show anymore because I feel like they never do full songs anymore. It’s usually some quick medley that leaves me wanting more. So I focus on choosing some yummy heavy appetizers to snack on throughout and choosing my bathroom breaks during the actual playtime, as I don’t care about either team. Also, if you’ve got some favorite appetizer/snacks you like to make for parties, we’d love to hear them as well!

As far as the unrelated outfit today, we’re back with another look that’s basically all ASOS! I’ve had these faux leather joggers since the early Fall. We actually shot them one other time but the season got away from us and we didn’t love the pictures. So technically this is remix #2 but I guess you’ll never see the first time, hahaha. I feel a little like MC Hammer a la “Can’t Touch This.’ They’re not something I’d typically buy, but on a whim I ordered them and liked the feel of wearing faux leather pants that weren’t skin tight.

They’ve got a more sporty vibe to them, which helps fill a void in my closet. They don’t scream, I’m going out clubbing as much as skinny leather pants might. Also, despite being a fuller cut, they still skim my legs and the tapered bottom still creates a nice silhouette. The waist is right to my belly button but not above it, and there is a drawstring to tie them tighter if needed. I bought a size 10 and I’d say they’re true to size. 

We talk about ASOS’s selection of bodysuits quite often, but this is actually just a normal wrap top. I got it for Christmas and was quite pleased to finally have such a nice fitting wrap top. Usually, I find one I like in a mainline size and then size up, creating a baggy fabric excess under my armpit. Not such a good look for a wrap style top. This one covers my wrists, which is all I ask for! It’s not super long, so if you’re in need of a longer butt-covering top, this probably doesn’t fit the bill. If I want to wear it to work, I’d just put a cami underneath to raise the neckline. I love a good V neckline, as it flatters a lot of different body shapes. 

Lastly, these booties are from Nordstrom (I bought them last year), but still available. They’re Treasure & Bond brand. Some reviewers say they run a little small. I notice it slightly but think they fit my size 13 feet just fine. I also have more narrow feet, so they might not work if you have wider! This Winter more than ever I’ve realized the value of having a couple pairs of boots you just love. I don’t ever get sick of wearing these and basically alternate between these, my Coix brown boots you’ve seen me wear with everything and flat Chelsea style boots I found at Long Tall Sally and Nordstrom Rack. That helps me justify spending a bit more on boots because the cost-per-wear drops dramatically after wearing them daily. 

Hopefully this inspires you to try out something you’ve been eyeing but is outside of your wheelhouse. You never know until you try something on, is my motto.
