Chico’s Elevated Cozy Style – Outfit #1

Happy Tuesday, friends. Today, I am showing you Chico’s Elevated, Cozy style – Outfit #1.
Today and tomorrow, I am going to demonstrate how elevated style can also be cozy style.
Chico’s does it so well.
I know for many of us that when we say we are dressing to be cozy that it is often oversized, many layers, and heavy fabrics.
But, at Chico’s you can find elevated, cozy style and that is one of the reasons I love the brand.
These are styles that look elevated for casual wear with exceptional deesigns and details….plus they are cozy warm.
Let’s begin today with this outfit #1.
CHICO’S ELEVATED, COZY STYLE – OUTFIT #1

This is an elevated, cozy style you just may see me wearing this week.
We are expecting a cool front in a couple of days and there are several places on the calendar where I could wear this Chico’s outfit.
Cool for us is typically 70s during the day, and 50s at night.
The star of outfit #1 is the ELLA METALLIC POCKETED CARDIGAN in soft ivory (it also comes in enamel red).
I wish you could see the touch of shimmer in this cardigan…just a beautiful, understated sparkle.
The touch of shimmer allows me to wear this for any event…even more elevated than with my jeans…and I am certain will be worn during the holidays.
It is also very cozy and warm…though not too heavy at all.
I layered it with the PIMA COTTON 3/4 SLEEVE TEE in the latest shade of green, called Serene Spruce…and it is the perfect green for me.
These are excellent layering pieces for elevated, cozy style.

Even for elevated casual I wear most often my jeans.
I own several pair of the So Slimming Jeans, but you can see that these are getting a little baggy.
I do want to be sure I can size down soon, so I am shopping the CHICO’S SLIM FIT JEANS, and hope that I will be able to go a size smaller very soon.
I do prefer the look of a slim fit jean with my elevated, cozy styles.
CHICO’S ELEVATED, COZY STYLE – ACCESSORIES

Something I do when the weather turns colder is to wear scarves more often.
To me that is a cozy move.
I am enjoying this scarf…the CHICO’S NEUTRAL ZEBRA ANIMAL PRINT OBLONG SCARF.
Also, for those in colder weather already, you might check out the WOVEN JACQUARD FRINGED OBLONG SCARF in cream color.
I do love Chico’s bracelets and wear them with most of my daily outfits.
This one appears to be sold out. But, there are several, I have my eye on…such as:
and
I have already showed you all of my stacking bracelets, but CHICO’S STACKING BRACELETS are abundant and fun to style.
But another way to wear elevated chic style is with gloves.
Look at the CHICO’S LEATHER ANIMAL FAUX FUR KNIT GLOVES, and the LEATHER FAUX FUR KNIT GLOVES, and the BUTTON DETAIL LEATHER GLOVES.
Warm hands, Warm heart!
Now tomorrow, I will show you what I will be wearing once a true cold front blows through.
I am so excited to have Chico’s elevated cozy styles to brave the cold West Texas winds.
Until then….
EMBRACE TODAY & KEEP SMILING!

Happy joyful day!
Thank you, Katherine! I love this outfit!
Did you post this outfit last week too?
No, I did not. This is completely new…I am showing you different ways to style many of the pieces you see at Chico’s right now. You may be thinking of one of these posts…

I have so much fun with Chico’s clothes.
I’m wearing my grey straight leg jeans I got last year online from Chicos. I love how comfortable they are with out temperature still in the 70s but taking a dive tomorrow and the rest of the week here in southern Colorado. It is a big front so you may get it soon as well. I love your outfit Pamela!
Thank you for sharing this lovely cardigan with us. Couldn’t resist a trip to my local Chico’s for a try-on and the sweater is now in my closet. You are right, the shimmer of metallic is lovely. Will be a great addition to my holiday wardrobe (but I probably won’t be able to wait that long to wear it, just need Florida weather to cool a bit more!)
It is an excellent cardigan…have fun wearing the sparkle. So glad you went and found one.
