Boo, your fun date plans got rained out. Curl up on the couch with Netflix and a big bowl of popcorn instead. Tania of What Would a Nerd Wear has a perfect look for the occasion. Pair a loose lace dress and a pretty necklace with high socks, a blanket sweater (more of those here), and classic riding boots. Voilà! Consider yourself ready for cuddling.

We totally dig the irreverent pajama look E of District of Chic is pulling off right here. If you’re brave enough to pull off palazzo pants, pair ’em with an easy graphic tee and some ’80s-inspired accessories, and polish everything off with an loose-fitting boyfriend blazer. Now you’re ready to head to brunch at the cool new spot in Shaw you keep meaning to check out.

Stay warm while you catch a movie ( Hunger Games, anyone?) in light layers à la Caitlin of Style Within Reach. Mix spring staples like a sleeveless vest with the fur collar you wore all winter, then slip on ankle booties–a heel is key for keeping your maxi skirt from dragging through the puddles–so your toes stay warm.
