Get comfortable with these snug essentials
Extreme winter temperature swings have become the norm in the South—one day it’s 75 degrees, the next day’s forecast calls for sleet—but the latest arctic blast here in Charleston, South Carolina, still caught me off guard. I’d forgotten just how much the right sweater, blanket, or pair of slippers can brighten the iciest of days. Here are a few small ways to take good care of yourself (and stay well) right now.
Part actual shoe, part slipper, these pretty mules by Margaux look and feel beautiful—whether you leave the house or not. $248; margauxny.com

Yes, I’m recommending a sweatsuit (I will forever blame the pandemic). And I’m a fan of this Goodlife one because it comes in a universally flattering soft cream color that looks polished paired with the mules above for a day of rest—or running errands. $110 for pant, goodlifeclothing.com; $98 for sweatshirt, goodlifeclothing.com
