Winter Whites

Winter whites; it's a thing. Gone is the ancient rule of only wearing white between Memorial Day and Labor Day - wearing white year round, and doing whatever you want, is now "in." I say this with slight caution though. You won't see me wearing a white lace dress in the middle of January (although I just bought a gorgeous white lace midi from Lulu's and I'm dying to wear it), but white jeans, especially with destruction, are on trend and totally ok to pull out of your closet whenever your heart desires. I paired mine with a classic white tee, cozy grey and white wool cardigan, and grey booties with plaid detailing at the ankles. If you're willing to push the envelope a little bit, I suggest keeping a neutral color palette, and pairing your winter whites with greys and creams. Try something new today! xoxo

It's All in the Details

The small details are what takes an outfit from good to great, such as the fringe at the bottom of this Taylor & Sage Cardigan, or the gold heel on these Sam Edelman pumps (although I wouldn't advise walking around in them on icy, snow-covered roads). These details add another element to the look, and provide for a fun, interesting twist. Fringe has been extremely popular this year, whether it's found on that statement leather bag you've been drooling over, or on the sleeves of the LBD that just arrived in your size. If you get a chance, experiment with this trend! I chose to pair my fringe cardigan (which is beyond soft, btw) with a boyfriend tshirt and high-waisted skinny jeans. For the final touch, I added a monogram necklace from anthropologie and dyed cow hair pumps from Sam Edelman. Links below - happy shopping loves!

Winter Plaids

With the falling temperatures and light dusting of snow on the ground, it looks like winter is here to stay. Exciting for some, not so exciting for others. I'm personally caught in the middle on how I feel about these cooler temperatures; I can't wait to start wearing my new winter jackets, but don't quite want to give up my summery shoes. A bright side to these colder temps though are the winter-inspired plaids that come along with it, such as this blue and white plaid cardigan from Ann Taylor. I chose to pair it with light wash denim and leather booties for a more casual look, but it can be worn many different ways. Other options include pairing with black leggings and black suede wedge booties, or layering over a pencil skirt and blouse for work.

A Taste of Boho Chic

If you're looking to tap into the boho chic side of your style personality, this outfit is for you. By combining a floppy wool hat and sheer cardigan with more updated pieces like high waisted skinny jeans and leather shooties, I was able to incorporate this trend into my outfit without it being over the top. The 70's inspired boho trend is a great look to experiment with, but keep in mind that balance is key to achieving this look (we don't want to look like we just stepped off the set of That 70's Show, although if Ashton Kutcher was there I may have a change of heart). Other ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe include bell sleeve tops and dresses, peasant tops, anything with fringe accents, and suede statement pieces (i.e. a suede vest).
