The Art of Dressing ‘Hygge’

I bring you guys a lot of outfits and styling ideas, that's sort of my thing, but despite all this fashion content, the majority of my time is actually spent at home.  I have to edit images, create the posts, respond to emails, you know, all the usual blogger type activities.  For the first few weeks of being a 'full time blogger' I used to sit in my pj's all day but I soon began to feel like a slob.  I now have a routine where I get dressed as if I'm actually going to 'work', despite my commute only being down three flights of stairs to my basement, with a quick pit stop at my kettle.  I like my 'workwear' to be cosy and comfortable especially in these colder months and so I have established quite a substantial knitwear collection.  One of my faves for cosy knits and slouchy denim is Abercrombie.  I have around 6 or 7 knits from them this season and because they are higher in quality than most of the high street knits I own, they tend to be warmer.

Earlier on this season the word 'Hygge' emerged onto the scene.  Of course this is not a new word, it's simply a Danish one and what the Danish do, we all follow.  Hygge (pronounced Hue-gah) is the art of creating a cosy atmosphere which should in turn promote a positive well being. To put it plainly it's about whipping out those sheepskin slippers, nestling under a chunky knitted blanket by a crackling fire wearing your cosiest knitwear.  It may well be a fad but you know what? I'm all for a fad that makes Winter just that little bit more bearable.  

So in today's post I have 4 new knits to share with you guys, all of which are perfect for creating the ultimate 'Hygge' setting.
