New fall obsession: Nordic sweater leggings

November 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment

I have a problem. When I get obsessed with something, I can’t get it out of my head… and that’s kind of what’s happening with me and Nordic sweater leggings right now. Snowflakes, reindeer, Nordic, fair isle; call it what you will. I am obsessed.

I started searching online for the perfect pair of cozy sweater leggings for me to wear this fall and winter, but kept coming up short (literally). The cutest ones I can find are all on Ebay being sold by companies in Hong Kong; which has me slightly worried about their quality and definitely worried that the cute (tiny) models they have wearing them in their photos are most likely a good foot shorter than myself. I need leggings that at least get close to my ankles, so this 6 foot girl is going to pass on those.

After some frustrating searching yesterday, I dug deeper and found some viable options. So gather up your sweaters and fur boots and pick up one (or two… or all three) of these ultra-stylish and equally comfy leggings for fall/winter. The louder – the better! Oh, and these suckers are selling fast so hurry and snatch them up.

Nordic sweater leggings for fall: Fall fashion trends | TheMombot.com

1. H&M patterned leggings, $14.95
I love the pattern on these, and of course I love the $14.95 price tag, but unfortunately they are made of jersey and not cozy, thick knit. I may have to buy them anyway… They are an online exclusive, so you’ll have to purchase through their website (works for me; the less I need to leave the house, the better!)

2. Pink Rose Juniors Pants, Printed Sweater Leggings (on sale for $14.99 – regularly $29)
Reindeer print, here I come. These only have an approximate 29″ inseam, but they are so cheap (and an extra 20% off for their Veterans Day sale – code “VETDAY”) that I may have to get them anyway and just wear them with boots.

3. FOREVER 21 Festive Fair Isle Sweater Leggings, $17.80
These are thick & cozy and ultra-cute, but I can’t buy pants at Forever21 because they run short. These only have a 30″ inseam, but if you’re on the shorter side, I highly recommend these!
 

I literally just had to pause in the middle of writing this to purchase 2 out of these 3 leggings…

The options for nordic leggings are scarce at the moment, but I am thinking that as December draws near, there will be more options available as this trend continues to grow. Keep your eyes peeled, and let me know if you find any other great options!

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
