STYLE ADVICE: Be the Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

March 13th, 2017 at 2:00am

Picture this—your 7 a.m. alarm just woke you up and you look out the window and see clouds. The sun is nowhere to be found and all you want to do is jump into your favorite pair of sweats. I’ve been in this position many times until I became a Style Guru. I started observing everyone’s outfits, and it’s like a light bulb went off in my head. Sweats don’t always have to be your go-to during chilly and cloudy days!

I must admit that no one wants to dress up on a cloudy day, but with simple looks like these, you’ll never wear sweats again. Okay, maybe you’ll still wear them, but it’ll be less often. One of the first things that captures your attention in this look is the dress. Most of the outfit is dark and edgy, but this light gray really helps brighten the outfit up. This is what makes you the sunshine on a cloudy day! This Fashionista paired her dress with some tights to give a flirty hint of skin while staying warm. The two-toned boots also give the outfit a little something extra. Not only do they protect against the cold, but they add to the dark look without completely darkening the outfit.

Dress? Check. Tights? Check. Boots? Check. The hard part is over and it wasn’t even hard. Now we move on to outerwear. Since the weather isn’t warm enough to rock the dress by itself, we need a jacket. In her look, this fabulous Fashionista added a black quilted jacket on top. The quilted detailing adds a girly and feminine touch. The outfit is tied together by the simple black scarf. It’s the perfect accessory to avoid the cold and still look cute.

Next time you wake up at 7 a.m. to a cloudy sky, I hope you remember this Fashionista’s dressy but simple look! After all, we have to give our sweats a break sometimes, right?
