Create cozy afterparty outfits

Hey, Style Slayers — Happy Moda Monday!

Welcome Inside the Closet! In this edition, we’re sharing 1 quest, 2 tips, and 3 looks to help you embrace your unique style superpowers — Let’s step in! 👇

1 Quest for you to try

The holidays may technically be over, but the glow of having fun with your fashion doesn’t have to disappear! Welcome to “Cozy Afterparty” season—that quiet, restorative stretch of winter where we recharge, reorganize, and gently transition back into our routines. This is the season of soft structure: clothes that feel like rest but are still intentional so you can show up fully.
Whether you’re nesting at home, tackling a winter wardrobe reset, or finally using those holiday gift cards to replace some pieces, this is your permission slip to prioritize comfort while still exuding confidence!

How to participate

  1. Choose: Pick one cozy item you’ve been living in lately—or one winter piece you’re excited to add to your wardrobe.
  2. Create: Style it two ways: One look for rest or reset (think at home, or casual hangs), and one look that feels work-ready or more polished for going out. Bonus points for using the same base piece!
  3. Capture: Share your outfit with #VostraModaQuest, or reply to this email with your entry.

The most inspiring outfit will be featured next week! Please let me know if you would like to remain anonymous.

2 Tips to help you slay

For this week’s quest, I’ve chosen to share an outfit I created using a mix of loungewear and professional pieces. This blue knit sleeveless top and pant set works well with a simple silk blouse and some matching white boots for a cozy yet chic outfit, especially when layered like a vest and paired with a silver statement necklace.

You can upgrade your loungewear by mixing it with some structured pieces. Look for knit sets, embellished sweatshirts, or soft trousers with a defined waistband or seam. These pieces feel like pajamas but read as outfits—especially when paired with a real shoe, cool blazer, or a bold accessory.

Our style suggestions

  1. Mix Cozy with Professional: For Back-to-Work ease, try pairing a luxe sweatshirt with tailored trousers, or a knit dress with boots and a blazer. The goal: items that transition from couch → coffee → calendar invites without a full outfit change.
  2. Shop Smart with Gift Cards: When browsing post-holiday racks, prioritize those winter staples for a more versatile wardrobe:
    Layerable knits, polished boots or loafers, textured scarves or belts,
    even a “comfy but impressive” top for meetings or dinners. If it works in at least two style modes, it earns its place!
Bri shows off her cozy "afterparty" outfit inspired by the Holidays, but still focused on comfort to enter the new year! She paired a blue knit lounge set of pants and a sleeveless top with a white silk blouse and matching white ankle boots for a vest inspired outfit, completing the look with a silver statement necklace and white drop earrings for a wintery color palette. Who said you can't be comfy and chic at the same time!?
