All this talk of "slouchy" has obviously influenced my style goals without my knowing it. More and more I'm passing up on my skinnies for a looser pair of jeans this days and relegating my slim pencil skirts and shrunken jackets to the back of my closet. And I think there is more to it than my just wanting to indulge and make merry over the holidays.

Somehow those skinny, body conscious looks that I wore constantly last season just seem so unexciting now. I'm not really going for the full on over-sized, baggy, slouchy look, but clothes with a touch of ease and volume seem more appealing these days. Sizing up instead of sizing down just seems to be the right choice more often than not.

Is this happening to anyone else?
