If you follow me over on Instagram, you know that I live for a good Faux Leather Legging, so it should be no surprise that I wanted to share 4 ways to Wear Faux Leather Leggings.
In all honesty, I’ve been putting off this post because I couldn’t decide how many and which ways to share! I wear them almost every day. And with everything from sparkly kimonos to sweatshirts and slippers. There is no wrong way to wear faux leather leggings, only the way you choose on that day!
Before we head into it, know, like every other post, this may contain affiliate links and that lets me keep doing this little blog and putting together these ideas for you 🙂Â
10 Ways to Wear Faux Leather Leggings
That being said, I have to say my favorite brand is Spanx faux leather leggings. I hands down probably own at least 6 pairs and I’ve never done a partnership with them! I legitimately love them and think they hold you the best when you want compression.
So, like I mentioned before, you can wear faux leather leggings with literally anything and everything! I’m going to go through what shirts, tops, shoes, sweaters, and boots are my favorite to wear with Spanx. I will also mention a few other places where you can pick up faux leather leggings if Spanx isn’t in your budget.
Let’s get started with the tops to wear with Spanx faux leather leggings.
Tops to Wear with Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
Depending on the print of your faux leather leggings, and how brave you want to be with your fashion, will depend on the top you wear. I love to mix the original print of the faux leather leggings with a floral top. You can see the blog post I did on How to Wear a Floral Top HERE, which one of the ways was with leggings and boots. Another top I love to wear with faux leather leggings is a plain ole white tee. This is the simplest of outfits, but it is one of my weekly go toos! With the white tee, you can literally build and layer anything and everything on top and not worry about it clashing or messing up the outfit.
Shirts To Wear With Faux Leather Leggings
I always do a front tuck or a half tuck and let the rest hang out. I don’t have an issue if the top doesn’t cover my bum, some people do. But that’s not something I worry about. In the summertime, a tank top or graphic tee works well with faux leather leggings especially if you are going for an athleisure look or actually want to work out in your faux leather leggings. If you need an extra layer, don’t be afraid to add a denim jacket, or even a matching leather jacket for an edgier look.
I have been known to wear the leggings in the morning and then not want to change out of them into other leggings, so I just wear them to ride or lift. They hold in place and are like other compression leggings when you need them to stay. Once you are done with your workout, or before your workout, you can wear a cropped top or sports bra. And it can act as your top with your high waisted faux leather leggings. Less laundry, still in style, I’d call it a win win!
How To Dress Up Faux Leather Leggings
I believe faux leather leggings can be a wardrobe staple in an office setting, if you are covering the bum. So think a tunic top, or a longer jacket or shacket. When I was still working in an office setting, you better believe I was rocking a pair of leggings (before the faux leather ones came out) at least 2 days a week. I would create a faux leather leggings outfit with dressy button up tops, a long sleeve dressier top, a jacket, or even a tunic that was longer to keep HR at bay.
Oftentimes, you can wear a cami and a blazer with a pair of heels or pumps to pass as sometimes more dressed up than the guys. If your office is super strict, you can wear a shorter dress than would be allowed at work with the faux leather leggings under to keep you warm and safe from trouble as well.
Any and all tops work!
Now, when we go to dinner for date night, or out with girlfriends, a sparkly cami, a tube top, or even an off the shoulder top will do the trick to show the skin that’s not shown on the bottom half of your body. Any and all tops work for faux leather leggings!
On that note, let’s discuss what shoes you can wear.
Shoes to Wear with Faux Leather Leggings
As you can imagine with the different tops to wear with faux leather leggings, there are endless shoes to wear as well. I have over 100 pairs of shoes in my closet and I can honestly say I’ve worn every pair at some point with my Spanx faux leather leggings. I don’t believe I can say that about every other pant I have in my closet. We will break down the different boots to wear next. So I won’t mention those here.
Back in my clubbing and bar scene days, I loved to wear a good pump.
I was also known to take them off when walking to the next bar because my feet hurt. One of those things you get older and wiser about, but also I’ve learned to wear a pump and not take them off. Especially when they make my outfit with my leggings!
Equally, I love a good sneaker and the high top ones really make a faux leather legging pop in a contrasting color. Low top white sneakers give a little peak of the skin around the ankle, which can help break up the color, especially if you are wearing a sweater with them. When traveling, I wear my workout sneakers so I don’t have to pack them. But also because they work so well with faux leather leggings. And no one thinks twice about it. The compression in the leggings helps to keep the swelling down from travel. And the sneakers let me get through the airport and wrangling kids with ease.
Spring, summer, and fall mean sandals are the ideal choice, and with good reason.
The ability to show some skin whether it be your arms, stomach, or collar bones up top is balanced by the skin shown on your feet. Along with this, mules, flats, and loafers make good office shoes to wear with the faux leather leggings easily showing skin that won’t get you in trouble or be uncomfortable. These shoes are perfect for running errands as well.
Now, let’s chat about some boots you can wear.
Boots to Wear with Faux Leather Leggings
Because the faux leather leggings hug tight to your legs, they make the perfect choice for boots. If you are someone with big calves and legs like me, you need all the room you can get for your legs, not the material you are wearing. I don’t often wear over the knee boots, or really anything above the calf. But when I do, you better believe it’s with faux leather leggings. Nothing else will fit my leg and the material comfortably. If you don’t struggle like us big legged gals, then you can wear whatever you want with your OTK boots but for the rest of us, let’s stick to the faux leather leggings shall we?
Most days, I do love to slip on a pair of UGGs with my leggings, when I’m in a hurry and wanting to be comfy and cozy. But don’t forget you can also wear chelsea boots, combat boots, and booties too.
Sweaters to Wear with Faux Leather Leggings
Generally, faux leather leggings are form-fitting, so a chunky or oversized sweater is a big win here. But really, if you are looking for a slim-fitting outfit from top to bottom, fitted sweaters also work. There’s really no limit to what and how you wear a sweater with faux leather leggings because they flatter every kind. If you are looking for some sweater inspiration, I wrote a blog post to help you understand which you need in your closet. Many of them are paired with faux leather leggings, and you can find that post here.
Along with Sweaters, you can also wear kimonos very easily with these types of pants, especially if you are wanting some bum coverage. I shared how to wear a kimono with leggings in this post.

Are you looking to make a change in the coming year? We all have our goals and resolutions that we want to accomplish, but sometimes it can be hard for us to stay on track with them. The key to lasting success is having strong foundations under your feet – which is why we’re going over the pillars of self care today! By understanding what self care is, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and how important it is in its entirety, you’ll have a unique approach towards making that resolution a lasting reality. The International Self-Care Foundation has created the various components of self-care to make it easier for you to understand and adopt into your life. With a better understanding of what self-care entails, you can incorporate its practices more effectively into your daily routine. Self care may seem like an overly complex topic at first glance – luckily today we break down this complicated concept into easy steps so that you can become well versed in creating healthier habits!
4 of Pillars of Self Care
What is Self-Care and How the World Health Organization Defines It
Self-care is a term that we hear a lot these days, but what does it really mean? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), self-care is defined as the ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider. In simpler terms, it’s all about taking care of oneself in all aspects of life, such as physical, emotional, and social well-being. It’s important to prioritize self-care as it helps us recharge, reduce stress, and improve our overall quality of life. Whether it’s getting enough sleep, eating healthy, or taking time to relax, self-care is an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Benefits of Practicing Self Care and Why It’s Important
Hey there! Have you heard about the benefits of practicing self care? It’s an important aspect of maintaining your overall health and well-being. Taking time to care for yourself can help reduce stress and boost your mood. It can also improve your physical health by allowing you to rest and recharge your body. Practicing self care can take many forms, from soaking in a bath to going for a walk or meditating. Whatever it is that helps you unwind and relax, make time for it regularly. Remember, taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity!
The Four Pillars of Self Care – Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual
Hey there! Let’s talk about the four pillars of self care. Taking care of yourself is crucial in leading a happy and healthy life. The four pillars include physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Physical self care includes things like exercise, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep. Emotional self care involves managing stress, practicing relaxation techniques, and spending time with loved ones. Mental self care means engaging in activities that stimulate the mind, such as reading or learning a new skill. Lastly, spiritual self care can mean different things to different people, but generally involves connecting with something greater than yourself, whether it be through prayer, meditation, or nature. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish, it’s necessary!
How to Incorporate Self-Care Practices into Your Daily Life
Hey there! Let’s talk about self-care practices and how to incorporate them into your daily routine. We all have busy lives, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everything going on around us. But taking care of yourself both physically and mentally is crucial for a happy and healthy life. One way to start incorporating self-care practices into your day is by waking up 10 minutes earlier to do some stretching or meditation. Another great way is to schedule in some “me time” every week, whether it’s getting a massage or taking a relaxing bath. Remember, self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary! So take the time to prioritize yourself and your well-being.
Understand the Complexities of Self Care and Taking Care of Yourself
Self care is more than just taking a bubble bath or treating yourself to your favorite dessert. It involves understanding the complexities of our well-being and taking the necessary steps to nurture our mind, body, and soul. It’s about listening to our bodies when it tells us to slow down, and giving ourselves the time and space to heal. When we neglect self care, we risk burning out and ultimately not being able to take care of ourselves or those around us. So, take a deep breath and consider what self care means to you. Maybe it’s carving out time for a hobby or simply saying no to obligations that don’t bring you joy. Whatever it is, prioritize it and watch as it transforms your overall well-being.
How to Create a Self Care Plan That Fits Your Lifestyle
Hey there, friend! Are you feeling like you could use a little more self-care in your life? Don’t worry, you’re definitely not alone. With our fast-paced lifestyles and endless to-do lists, it can be challenging to carve out time for yourself. But you deserve it! Creating a self-care plan that fits your lifestyle might seem overwhelming at first, but it doesn’t have to be. Start by thinking about the activities that bring you joy and make you feel refreshed. Maybe it’s taking a walk outside, practicing yoga, or indulging in a bubble bath. Whatever it is, make it a priority to incorporate those activities into your daily routine. Remember, self-care is not selfish – it’s necessary for your overall well-being. So take some time for yourself, and start living your best life!
Self-care is more than just taking a day off or scheduling a spa appointment. It’s essential to focus on our wellness in order to ensure we are the best version of ourselves. By taking the time and effort to learn what self-care is, understand the four pillars, generate ideas for daily practices, and create a personalized plan, we can begin to make meaningful changes in our lives that will help us maintain our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. We owe it to ourselves to make self-care a priority each day as it will provide benefits both short and long term. The next time you feel overwhelmed by life, take a few moments for yourself to practice self-care – you’ll be glad you did!
Are you a host on Airbnb trying to attract more guests to your property? If so, you probably know that great photos can catch a potential guest’s eye, but a well-written Airbnb listing is what seals the deal. Not everyone can afford to hire professional copywriters, which is why I’m here to share effective tips on how to write amazing Airbnb listing descriptions that will entice potential guests and get your property booked.
How To Write A Good Airbnb Listing
Write a Catchy Title
Your title is the first thing potential guests see, so make it catchy and attention-grabbing. Highlight the unique selling points of your property, such as a stunning view, proximity to popular attractions, or special amenities like a private pool or hot tub. Use descriptive words that evoke positive emotions and create a sense of excitement in the reader.
Focus on Special Features
What sets your property apart from others? Whether it’s a cozy fireplace, a spacious backyard, or a fully equipped kitchen, emphasize these special features in your listing. Describe how they can enhance the guest’s experience and make their stay memorable.
Answer Questions Before They Are Asked
Put yourself in the shoes of potential guests and think about the questions they might have about your property. Address common queries like Wi-Fi availability, house rules, parking options, and nearby attractions. By providing this information proactively, you demonstrate that you care about your guests’ needs and can save them time in the decision-making process.
Show Your Best Side
Be honest about your property, but also showcase its best aspects. Highlight the positive aspects of the neighborhood, nearby amenities, and the type of guests who would enjoy staying at your place. Use positive language to paint a picture of what a delightful experience they can expect.
Describe the Space
Give potential guests a detailed description of your property’s layout, including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, common areas, and any unique or luxurious touches. Mention if there’s a master bedroom or a king-sized bed, as these are often sought after by travelers.
Keep It Short and Sweet
While you want to provide useful information, avoid lengthy paragraphs that may overwhelm potential guests. Use concise language and bullet points to make your listing easy to read and navigate. Remember that Airbnb limits the length of your description, so make every word count.

Life is full of surprises. You never know what’s going to happen next. This can be both exciting and terrifying, depending on the situation. It can cause negativity and seem like more and more bad things are compounding on top. One thing that is guaranteed in life, however, is that there will be times when things are out of your control. This can be confusing, frustrating, and downright crazy! Once you can accept this, you can have a more positive outlook on life, have a greater appreciation for what you can control, and you can be happier knowing what to focus on and control. In this blog post, we will discuss 10 things that are out of your control and how to handle them when they happen.
List Of Things You Can’t Control In Life
No matter who you are, there are just some things in life that you will not be able to control. The weather, for instance, is one of them. Today, I’m going to share a list of things that you just can’t control in life, in the hopes of changing your perspective when life doesn’t go quite as planned. Because after all, you can’t control everything.
10 Things That Are Out Of Your Control: How to Handle When Life Gets Crazy and Confusing
The Importance of Accepting Things That Are Out Of Your Control
We’ll start with the importance of accepting things that are out of your control. This can be a difficult pill to swallow, but once you do, it will make life much easier. It’s natural to want to be in control of everything, but the truth is, we’re not. There are plenty of things that happen every day that we have no control over. The weather, other people’s actions, the stock market…these are all things that we can’t control. And that’s okay!
When you start to accept the things that are out of your control, you’ll find that you’re less stressed and more at peace. In the long run, you’ll be able to focus on the things that you can control and not worry about the things that you can’t. This doesn’t mean that you should stop caring about what’s happening in the world around you, but it does mean that you shouldn’t spend your time and energy worrying about things that you have no control over.
How to Handle Negative Emotions When Life Gets Crazy and Confusing
Negative emotions are a part of life. People feel sad, angry, frustrated, and anxious. It’s normal to feel this way at times. When these emotions become overwhelming, it can be hard to stop worrying. The good news is that there are things you can do to learn to accept the parts of life that you can’t control. This will help you feel better and have more peace of mind. Problem-solving, coping skills, and refusing to accept the things you can’t control will help you handle when life gets crazy and confusing. These strategies will help you feel better and save time and energy.
10 Things That Are Out Of Your Control
Mental health is so important because people feel all sorts of emotions every day. From happiness and love to sadness and anger, it’s part of what makes us human. And it’s important to manage your emotions healthily.
But sometimes, life can get overwhelming and confusing, and it can be tough to know how to handle all the negative emotions that come with it. Here are 10 things that are out of your control, and how you can learn to accept them:
1. Natural disasters.
There’s nothing you can do about an earthquake, hurricane, or tornado except try to stay safe and ride it out. Worrying about it ahead of time won’t change anything, so just go with the flow and do the best you can.
2. The weather.
Just like natural disasters, you can’t control the weather. So if it’s raining on the day you had planned to go to the beach, there’s no use getting upset about it – just find something else to do instead.
3. Other people’s opinions.
You’re never going to please everyone, so stop worrying about what other people think of you and just focus on being yourself.
4. The past.
You can’t change what’s already happened, so don’t dwell on it too much. Just learn from your mistakes and move on.
5. The future.
Worrying about the future won’t change anything, so try to live in the present as much as possible.
6. Other people’s opinions and ideas about you.
Just like the weather, you can’t control what others think or say about you. So if someone has a negative opinion of you, don’t let it get to you – just brush it off and move on.
7. News and Politics.
It’s important to be informed, but there’s no need to get wrapped up in the latest news stories or political debates. Just stay informed enough to make voting decisions and then move on with your life.
8. Constant change.
Change is inevitable, so you might as well just go with it. Worrying about it won’t make it go away, so just accept it and move on.
9. Who you are related to.
You can’t choose your family, but you can choose how you react to them. If someone in your family is causing you stress, try to talk to them about it calmly and respectfully. You might not be able to change their behavior, but you can control how you respond to it.
10. Death.
Death is a part of life, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Just live your life to the fullest and enjoy the time you have.
By accepting the things that are out of your control, you’ll find that you’re able to focus on the things that matter most to you and that you can control. So next time something negative happens, remember these tips and try not to let it get to you. Life is too short to spend time worrying about things that you can’t control!
How To Accept Things That Are Out Of Your Control
How to Deal With These Situations
We’ve all been there. You’re watching your favorite TV show when suddenly, the power goes out! Or you’re in the middle of a heated argument with a friend and they hang up on you. These are just a few examples of things that are out of our control. But don’t worry, there are ways to deal with these situations so you can maintain your peace of mind.
First, it’s important to stay grounded and learn to accept that there are parts of life that we can’t control. This can be difficult, but once you accept it, you’ll feel much better. Second, try to focus your time and energy on things that you can control. This will help you feel more in control of your life and less stressed. Lastly, remember that these situations are usually temporary and they will eventually end. So try to relax and enjoy the ride!
How To Stay Positive During Difficult Times
Life will inevitably throw us some curveballs. And when it does, it can be easy to feel stressed, overwhelmed, and negative. But there are some things you can do to help you deal with these tough situations in a more positive way. Here are 10 things that are out of your control – and how to handle them:
1. Expecting less.
If you go into a situation expecting the worst, you’re more likely to be disappointed. Instead, try to go in with no expectations and see what happens. You may be pleasantly surprised.
2. Letting go of the past.
Holding onto resentment and anger will only make you feel worse. Learn to forgive and move on.
3. Setting new goals.
When life gets crazy, it can be helpful to have something to focus on. Set yourself some new goals – both short-term and long-term – and start working towards them.
4. Stop worrying.
Worrying about things that haven’t happened yet is a waste of time and energy. If something does happen, deal with it then – but don’t spend your time in the present moment worrying about it until it does.
5. Learning coping skills.
Don’t bottle up your emotions – learn how to deal with them healthily. This could involve talking to a friend or therapist, journaling, or doing some form of exercise. These coping skills will not only benefit us here, but in various aspects of our lives.
By following these tips, you’ll be better equipped to deal with the things that are out of your control. And who knows – maybe you’ll even find that some of those things weren’t as bad as you thought they were! Although you can’t control the items on this list, you can control your actions.

Wondering what to wear in Arizona in winter? I’ve got you covered! As a native to cold weather climates, I didn’t think I would ever need a winter coat living in the desert. Owning and managing short term rentals has opened my eyes to a whole world of people asking me what to pack, how the weather is, where things are located, what the best place for food and drinks are, where to take their kids, and many more questions. This is one topic I love talking about because it ties all of the things I do together!
If you didn’t know, Arizona has a winter. And it snows and rains much like everywhere else in the world. We get down to freezing temps at night, and usually up in the 50s or 60s during the day. People come and swim in pools with heaters, ski up north, go hiking around the city, run without breaking too much of a sweat, and walk in peace. Our girls are in club swimming and they swim year round outside. Thus, a parka and winter boots are needed for early morning swim meets — things I NEVER thought I’d wear outside of the Midwest!
What To Wear In Arizona In Winter
Winter Temperatures in Arizona
The winters of Arizona are pleasant for most parts. The temperature during winter mostly ranges from 25-45 degrees Fahrenheit with an average maximum of around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the elevation of the state ranges between 1400 to 5000 feet above sea level, which acts as a climatic control for this part of the country by cooling down summers. And not allowing the temperature to go up during winters. The elevations are the reason for the difference in temperature pattern of winter between Arizona and its neighboring states of California, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico.
Snowfall is rarely seen in most parts of Arizona with exception of Flagstaff where it can reach 2 feet on average per season if not more. This is also the only place where winters can feel colder than in other parts of Arizona. However, in Tucson and Phoenix, the lowest temperature that has been recorded during winter is around -9 degrees Fahrenheit in all likelihood. And hence there is no need to take any special precautions for clothing in these two cities. It should be noted that in higher elevations like Flagstaff and Payson, the chances of getting significant amount of snowfall is high. And hence it becomes necessary to take precautions for proper winter clothing so as to be safe from the cold climate.
In terms of dressing up, there is not much difference in what you may normally wear during winters anywhere else in the country since Arizona’s temperatures are pretty moderate.
The only thing that you need to take care of is the fact that the nights are much colder than the days in this region. So dress appropriately for your nighttime activities. Also, it should be noted that while wearing light colors like white during winter might keep you warm, it also makes you more susceptible to dust and other outdoor elements. So choose carefully what you wear.
For most parts of Arizona, the winter months are very comfortable and unless you are one of those people who gets cold very easily, there is hardly any requirement for residents to invest in winter clothing, such as jackets and sweaters etc. This does not mean that such items should never be bought because it will get cold at night.
I always recommend a light jacket or sweater for the night because when the sun goes down, there’s no heat. It’s important to remember this when you start packing, especially if you plan to travel to see what all of Arizona has to offer, like the Grand Canyon and many of the National Parks for hiking.
As always, there might be a link or two I might get commission from that helps keep this little dream alive, so I appreciate you when you click and shop on my favorite things! The few pennies I get helps in every way to keep me moving forward to find things to share with you <3!Â
What To Wear In Arizona In Winter
If you are looking for a place to stay for your trip to Arizona, no matter the time of year, check out our short-term rentals, which I’m always adding more and more each quarter! Now let’s get to outfits you can wear in Arizona and what to pack for your Arizona trip!
Casual Dresses
A casual dress is always a staple in the packing list because it can be worn in so many ways. You can wear it in the morning under a sweater or with a coat. And dress it up at night when you want to go out. I love to throw on a hat to help block the super bright sun during the day and also add a little to the look. If you want to pack only 1-2 pairs of shoes, you can pair your casual dress with a pair of hiking or combat boots and save room in your suitcase.
Make sure to pack long and short-sleeved dresses to wear throughout the day and night. You can mix a dress with a fleece jacket or a sweater because the temps allow in the morning and night. During the day, you can opt for a lighter option, or the dress alone.
Sunscreen
Hold up, don’t forget the sunscreen! Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean those rays from the desert sun won’t find their way to your skin. So slap on some SPF and protect yourself from the sun’s sneaky tricks. Wear sunscreen often if you don’t want to end up looking like a lobster, trust me on this one.
Fleece Jacket with Tank Top and flip flops for day or hiking boots for the trail
A fleece jacket is always a staple for early mornings and late evenings. They are warm enough to cut the wind and cold. But light enough to get the job done when temps get into the 60s with sun during the day. And if you pair it with a short sleeve shirt or a tank top, it’s the right amount of warm and cool. You can even use this as a hiking outfit with leggings and boots or casual with flip flops or sneakers. Dress this outfit up by trading in the leggings for a pair of vegan leather joggers like the ones I’ve included in the photo. You will have a bit of texture and shine while keeping you comfy and chic for any event you attend! During the day, you can also ditch the fleece but keep it nearby for later in the evening!
Long sleeved tops and Joggers or Jeans for day time and also night layered with a coat
I don’t know about you, but I love to be comfy, no matter the time of day. The whole notion of Zoom meetings has brought on the ability to have a nice top on and have comfy pants, which I’m a fan of. So I love to wear a jogger or even jeans as a pant. And pair it with a nice white button-down, which looks very professional and presentable yet gives the comfort I’m looking for. You can mix and match these items with a fleece jacket or light coat for evening to dress it up or make it feel casual and warm. Grab a pair of sneakers to keep your feet warm when you are out and about. But for sure put on the slippers or flip flops when you are home! Here are my favorites from Wkndnation.com and they are so easy to wear!
Scarves and Beanies
Who says winter fashion in Arizona can’t be stylish? Add some pizzazz to your outfit with a stylish scarf and a cute beanie. Not only will they keep your neck and head cozy, but they can also add a pop of color or pattern to your overall ensemble. Plus, you can pretend you’re a chic desert explorer while sipping hot cocoa by the fire. Fashion and warmth? Sign me up!
Tee shirts and jeans with flip flops and sneakers
The winter time of the year is still good to wear flip flops during the day and sneakers in morning and night. The perfect pairing is with a tee and some jeans. You can throw on a jacket or sweater on early mornings and cold nights to keep the chill away. As well as easily shedding layers when you go inside to warmer places. This outfit lends itself to easily running errands. Taking the kids or dog on a walk, or even heading to a casual lunch or dinner with a friend. Jeans are a must for any packing list when visiting Arizona. Because they are a staple in any winter wardrobe cold or warm. If you need some sneaker inspiration, check out this post of some of my favorite brands.
Alternatively, you could pop on a skirt and wear booties with a tee shirt for a warmer day. And keep a sweater or jacket close by. This is a great option especially if you are going to lunch or even a work meeting when you don’t have to be outside a lot and can change for the evening temperatures.
Faux Leather Leggings and tee or sweater
By far, my most worn outfit of all of winter, because it’s so versatile. Spanx and other brands of faux leather leggings can be dressed up with some heels. Or even made casual with hiking boots and sneakers to hike the red rocks. They get me from drop off to late nights of swim practice. And everything in between with a sweater and a t-shirt. I love how they hold me in but also how they actually can help keep you warm. Sometimes more-so than jeans. You could even wear them to go skiing up north because they are so well made. Start your day with leggings, a sweater, and some boots. Hit mid day and shed the sweater or jacket and switch for sneakers or flip flops. And then finish the day with another sweater or jacket, and some heels for dinner and drinks.
Hiking Shoes
If you plan on exploring Arizona’s beautiful landscapes and hitting up those hiking trails, a good pair of hiking shoes is a must. Trust me, your feet will thank you for the support and grip they provide. Plus, they’ll keep your tootsies safe from any prickly cacti you might encounter along the way!
Or in my case, a swim parka and warm boots!
This outfit makes it easy to look put together or get out the door asap with a few simple things. You could pack only faux leather leggings in your suitcase and wear them daily. And for going out and never have the same outfit. Make sure you own at least one pair of the Spanx leggings. They are worth EVERY penny! I own nearly every pair they make and love them all equally. And are the most worn pants in my closet. They also work for warmer days as well as cooler days depending on the top and shoe you choose to wear.
Snug Socks
Finally, don’t forget about your precious feet! Treat them right with some snug socks. Look for pairs made from cozy materials like wool or thermal blends. Not only will they keep your piggies warm and happy, but they’ll also make sure your feet are ready for any hiking adventures or walks through picturesque Arizona towns.

swallow, but once you do, it will make life much easier. It’s natural to want to be in control of everything, but the truth is, we’re not. There are plenty of things that happen every day that we have no control over. The weather, other people’s actions, the stock market…these are all things that we can’t control. And that’s okay!
