STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Put A Lid On It

It’s another transitional period for the ever-changing Virginia weather, except this time it’s from fall to winter. Like all other in-between seasons, being prepared and dressing in layers is key. As the temperature drops, the outermost layer becomes increasingly important which is exactly what made this Fashionista stand out. Her caramel brown button-up jacket is the perfect rich color for fall while still staying in the neutrals category. Not only is the color eye-catching, but it’s the perfect piece to complete the rest of her vintage look.

For the base layer of her outfit, she rocks a pair of straight legged Calvin Klein jeans and a simple white T-shirt. The simplicity of the look allowed her to integrate her own personal style into the mix by adding an embroidered red rose onto the top. As the saying goes, wear your heart on your sleeve. Embroidery is a huge trend this season and a great way to express yourself and the things you love through clothing.

Instead of accessorizing with traditional jewelry, this vintage babe chose a solid cream leather hat and her favorite pair of white sneakers. Baseball hats are another great addition for a midway through fall outfit when it’s not quite cold enough to pull out a beanie. For her shoes, the classic white tube socks and simple sneakers complete the look and tie together her whole ensemble; not to mention they’re comfortable. The sneakers and jeans look is another growing trend and this Fashionista shows us just how effortlessly it can be done.

So, as the fall temperatures drop and winter approaches, be sure to invest in a jacket that can be paired with most of your closet, a pair of fashionable sneakers and something that brings out your personal style.

Don’t be afraid to wear what you want. Other people don’t have to be wearing it for you to be able to. This Fashionista’s best friend embroidered this shirt for her, so whenever she wears it she is helping promote her. Choose something close to your heart and incorporate it into your outfit.
