During the winter seasons it can be super easy to fall into the same dressing routine: black sweaters and black pants. Yawn!
Fall was overloaded with gorgeous trends that you can make work for you, even in the blistering cold. Why not be a lady and go for a dress or skirt? Polished and put-together pieces say "sophisticated" instead of "I am cold and lazy". Look for pencil skirts that are high waisted or draped. Pair it with a delicate blouse. Soft feminine tops plain, printed (i.e. paisley, graphics, florals, or sweet Liberty) or textured can really pull together that lady-like ensemble. As fair as a dress, go more A-line or shift.
Instead of carrying a satchel that resembles a diaper bag, why not carry something a little more luxe: a multi hued snakeskin bag, guaranteed to upscale any look. Get a little wild. Nothing warms up a winter wind like animal print. Pair it with a neutral (gray, brown, tan, etc.).
Mix in metallic with your everyday wear. Sheens of bronze, gold, silver, and other gilded hues can transpire an outfit from daytime to dressy.
Update your classic pieces (trenches, grandpa sweaters, turtlenecks) with a skinny waist belt in a contrasting or bold color. You defiantly will stand out in the sea of black.
Feminine fits are so flattering, even for going out. Fitted dresses and fun full skirts creates a lovely slimming line for any body.
When ever I play "truth or dare", I always go for "dare". I guess you can say I am the same way with my clothes. Why not? We only live once, however there is a right way to doing "daring" without looking like you belong in a side show act. The best way is to go with a architectural jackets and blazer (think Rihanna). Style it with deconstructed or skinny jeans. Clean it up with some killer heels or boots.
Gray is my favorite neutral. It brings the green out in my multi-colored blue eyes. How exciting that it is a nice variation from black (ha! and you're still in the same color family). With this color in anything, you cannot go wrong!
