I’ve been all about polishing up my weekend wear lately. It’s nice to hit both the style and comfort marks, am I right? You can feel like a couch potato, but avoid looking like a couch potato. I’m all for that.
This jacket from Victoria’s Secret does most of the work. It’s super cozy, but the faux leather sleeves and marled pattern make you forget it’s essentially just a hoodie. (Fashion score.) Paired with destroyed boyfriend jeans and slightly dressier-than-your-average ballet flats, this outfit is weekend with an edge.
I’ve been in meetings all week at work– this is my punishment for getting such a nice holiday break between Christmas and New Year’s, I’m sure of it.
Linking up today with More Pieces of Me + On the Daily Express, Vodka Infused Lemonade, Just Jacq, All Things Pretty, Stylin in St. Louis, Perfectly Coutured and Style Elixir.
What a cool jacket! Love it!
Great weekend look, Ashley! That jacket is really awesome. 🙂
Looking relaxed but gorgeous. Hope you are staying warm in KC and have a great weekend!

I’m in love with that jacket and those shoes!
Really cute, Ash!

I love the way you’ve styled this jacket- it’s really cozy, you’re right, but it’s also not your average hoody. Great look!

Those flats look awesome with the jeans. I really like the way you rolled the hem- it creates a cool look. 😀
I love how simple and CHIC this is! And your pup…. so so SO cute!
i love that hoodie…and you’re right it looks way fancier! and those shoes…so great!
Super tips on making weekend wear more interesting! Love that jacket on you!
Hooray for Scout! She’s so cute- as are you! 😀

Too cute! Love the ballet flats with the jeans and chic hoodie – would love you to come link up to a new link & Pin party just launched this week #AllAboutYou(the clue’s in the name!) http://www.mama-andmore.com/2014/01/all-about-you-link-pin-party-week-1.html?m=1
Hope to see you there! Happy new year!
Loving this outfit! You always have an interesting take on weekend wear! Very inspirational- I need to shake it up in my own closet.
I am totally on board with anything that I can feel lazy in without looking lazy! So glad I’m not the only one 🙂 I think this time of year it can be so hard to put in a lot of effort when it’s so cold outside. You sold me on the jacket the second I saw faux leather sleeves! On a side note, I totally want to cuddle with Scout! Such a cutie!
Right? Satisfies the comfort and stylin’ factor. So I’m a fan. 🙂
Scout is a total cuddle bug- but also a complete Terror Pup when she’s rowdy! Heaven help meeeeeee. Good thing she’s a cutie. 🙂
Awesome post!
Love this look and I have a link up today that is perfect for you! It’s a faux leather look link up 😉 http://www.justjacq.com/2014/01/09/triple-threat-faux-leather/
Scout is a cutie – and I love your laid-back look. It’s perfect for those time when you just want something that’s comfortable and lounge-worthy. And that’s how I feel more often than I would like to admit 🙂
Gorgeous!
Absolutely loving that jacket! So cute!
Scout is TOO CUTE! I love her!
Great look, Ashley!
I didn’t know Victoria Secret did such cool jackets! Loving this one 🙂

“Jacket potato” is such a cute title- but it makes me hungry, haha! 🙂
I thought myself pretty clever for coming up with that… And who doesn’t love a loaded baked potato?! 🙂

Awesome jacket hun, so cozy and comfy chic! I know what you mean about the couch potato thing, lol
Cozy but stylish is my favorite way to dress this time of year. With the cold, part of me doesn’t want to bother, but the other part of me wants to still make an effort. You’re right- this jacket does both. 🙂
It’s like, I’m lazy and cold and want to be cozy, but I don’t want to feel sloppy. This jacket helps me achieve all of those things. 😉 Thanks, Olivia!
Cute and comfy.=) Love the jacket.
I love finding more casual pieces that work for the weekend- like this jacket! Love it!
Great post!
Gorgeous! 😀
cute jacket and the shoes too:).

How come when I go into VC, all I see are glittery sequins and pink items? I would love it if they started carrying more fashion-forward stuff like this jacket. It’s chic, but in such a relaxed way.

I know, right? Look, I love a good pair of Pink sweats or yoga pants, but we can’t LIVE in those items. The VS website is a great place to find actual clothing, though. Give it a go! 🙂
Love the casual chicness of this outfit! SO cute!
