The holidays are going to look different this year in so many ways, but I think we can all agree that it will be a super cozy holiday season with just a touch less hustle and bustle and many more special moments at home with those closest to us. This year we plan to stay home with no travel and no big entertaining. I'm looking forward to maximizing the time spent at home with lots of delicious food, having some fun with baking and an abundance of Christmas movies and popcorn by the fire. I'm completely thrilled with the idea of a super low key holiday season.

Alongside lots of Christmas cookies and a killer charcuterie platter I'm keeping it casual but polished when planning holiday outfits. Throwing on a statement sweater with a pair of cozy pants and some bright lipgloss or opting for a super soft and oversized sweater with lounge leggings fits my mood just perfectly this holiday season. Today I'm partnering with Express to showcase their polished-meets-cozy pieces that are exactly what I had in mind this year!

I'm always a sucker for a gorgeous sweater and this turtleneck sweater with balloon sleeves is just gorgeous or this part fleece/part sweater mockneck sweater is so soft I never want to take it off. While both would look cute with jeans, I dressed them down both with these incredible cozy bottoms. This ribbed legging pair is so soft and fits like a dream. For more drama, this high waist ribbed knit wide leg pair is so fun and perfect for going from clinking champagne glasses to a little nap by the fire effortlessly. I love how all of these pieces feel extremely elevated but are also wildly comfortable. It's just what I crave these days.
