While I enjoy the optimism and feeling of getting a fresh start that a new year provides, I can't help but think ugh when I hear the word January. It's cold, long, and dark, and the holiday cheer is a distant memory, but we might as well live in the moment and make the best of it, right? Right. And the best way I know how is by having small things to look forward to, like a cozy new sweater or a pair of slippers to make my WFH life a little more enjoyable.
These days, having a package from Nordstrom, Zara, or Shopbop on my frozen doorstep is pretty much the highlight of my day, and all three retailers are currently fully stocked with warm things (some of which is even on sale) to get us all through this long, dreary month. So before we start wishing January away, let's live in the moment and think about what we're going to (or at least would like to) wear. I'll go first—scroll to see what I chose from Nordstrom, Zara, and Shopbop.
Nordstrom
I found the hat trend all the celebs are wearing for cheap.
The definition of coziness.
She's gorgeous.
I love a fur trim.
On Cloud shoes will change your life (and maybe even make you want to work out).
These are constantly selling out, but Nordstrom is fully stocked.
The perfect classic loafers (for not a lot of money).
The logo of the moment.
A steal for such perfect pajamas.
Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean you can't wear crystals.
Zara
I can't stop thinking about this, so I guess that means I need it.
Now this is how you do winter whites.
This looks expensive.
Because gross January weather is inevitable.
Sleek and stylish.
Cargo pants continue to be a huge trend this year.
Stay warm in style.
I'll be styling this blouse exactly like the model.
Vintage vibes.
The perfect winter vest.
Shopbop
These are sure to be popular.
I'm all about ease this month.
Timeless.
The ideal winter accessory.
The color, the silhouette, the quilting—it's all perfection.
You might not want to take this off.
Trust me—Slvrlake jeans are worth every penny.
If you still haven't gotten a pair of these, now's the time.
I'll be wearing this a lot through winter.
Getting to wear this should cheer you up on a dreary January day.
