It’s winter boot week! Which means….each day on The Mom Edit, we’ll be talking about our favorite winter boots and how we style them. I’m kicking things off with some classic Sorels. I’ve been wearing boots like this since I was a kid – they’re practically standard issue in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I’ve been gleefully watching as Sorel has transformed themselves – over the last decade or so – from the boots my Dad made me wear, to a fashion brand (albeit a verrrry practical one).
Obviously, Dad knew best.
We’ve also been talking about coming up with three perfect outfits, based on layers that can stand on their own – this is one of mine. (If you follow me on IG @shanachristine, you’re very familiar already.) I’ve been wearing it with my Sorels on ski weekends, but it easily transitions to a dressier look with different footwear.
Outfit Details
jacket: S13 Canyon Parka (size xs for reference) – 50% off!!
sweater: Madewell Cashmere Convertible Turtleneck (size L for reference) – almost sold out, but I found more options below…
shirt: Michael Stars Striped Thermal (one size)
jeans: AG Jeans (size 25 for reference)
boots: Sorel Premium Leather 1964s – these nice and warm, but a much lighter weight (and therefore much more comfy) than the Joan of Arctics, etc. Also 25% off!!!
Shop The Story
I happened to wear the striped thermal into a Madewell the other day, so the sweaters below are ones that I know layer perfectly over that shirt (although, I suspect almost anything would work – the thermal is nice and thin and layers beautifully).
Most of these sweaters are on sale and selling fast, so I rounded them up from a few different places (Nordstrom and Shopbop both carry Madewell, for example.)
xo!

Shana, I love love love the sweater on you… and I’m so jealous that you’re all cute and petite and it fits you perfectly oversized. I keep looking at the picture of you, telling myself, “Yes, it’s perfect, I’m buying it!” and clicking through to the site, seeing it on the model and realizing it would fit like a midriff top on me. 🙂 I’m not especially tall (5’8″) but I must be long waisted – I definitely need a tall size to get the length right! Anyway, just wanted to say I LOVE this outfit on you! Perfect!
Hi Shana. Love your boots. Did you purchase your normal size.
Love the sweater! But I am confused, it says tts, but you upsized. what is your normal size at Made well? I have to order online and trying to mimic the slouchy-ness
Hi! I want to purchase the boots, it would be my first pair of Sorels. Would you recommend ordering TTS, up or down? I wear a size 6. Any advice would be great. Thank you!
