STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Animal Instincts

Style Advice of the Week

There were many parts about this Fashionista’s outfit that made me decide to feature her this week. From her classic Louis Vuitton Speedy, to her perfectly layered top half, she reminded me of one of those stylish fashion bloggers from Pinterest that look so put together no matter what. When I went to take a detailed shot, I laughed as I realized that she had a family of meerkats on her sweater. I asked, “Why meerkats?” and she told me that they were her favorite animal to see at the zoo; so when she saw this sweater at Madewell, she just had to have it.

Sweaters have always been a wardrobe staple for any Fashionista during the colder months, so why not make yourself stand out and sport a sweater adorned with your favorite critter? Sweaters with different animals on them are no longer just for your grandma or five year old sister. Urban Outfitters has jumpers featuring polar bears, owls and tigers. Topshop also carries several cozy knits donned with various creatures.

Another component that I loved was how well this Fashionista layered a blouse under her sweater. Sometimes it can be difficult to find pieces that work perfectly for layering. Her collared shirt is the perfect length to wear under her sweater, and the red adds a nice splash of color to her otherwise neutral ensemble.

To achieve this Fashionista’s look, try checking out the classic shirts at places like J.Crew to find just the right items to layer with. Tall brown boots and a leather jacket are two more must-haves that every Fashionista should have in their closet this fall. And of course, don’t forget to add a little flair to your sweater by featuring your favorite furry friends!
