ALL IN THE DETAILS: Winter Whimsy

In Pennsylvania, the frigid, gray winters seem to tinge everything the same blah shade. The ever-dropping temperatures increase the allure of ratty, old sweatshirts ten-fold. In order to prevent the winter blues from creeping into your wardrobe, try to incorporate personal flair into everyday looks. This Fashionista did that by rocking her signature jewelry and colorful prints.

Initially, the bold colors are what draw the eye to this outfit. The bright floral print blouse brings with it enthusiasm for the all-too anticipated spring time. Even though spring is on the mind, the sad reality is that weather refuses to cooperate with wishful thinking. Staying warm is possible by strategically choosing materials and layering. Here, the Fashionista paired the rich colors of her top and scarf with a black suede skirt and neutral sweater. Tights and boot socks also serve to keep icy temps at bay. Heeled combat booties add some oomph and a hint of edge. By keeping layers and accessories neutral, she maintains a cohesive color palette without sacrificing whimsy.

Upon closer inspection, layered jewelry complements the look and brings out this Fashionista’s artistic personality. Stacked statement rings are a fun contrast to the delicate necklaces. Lace-up detailing on the skirt subtly echoes lacing in the shoes. Her makeup and hair channel ’60s vibes with gorgeous blunt bangs and a perfectly executed cat eye.

This Fashionista is proof that by finding unique pieces that reflect personal taste, you can effortlessly add energy and dimension to your wardrobe. This look serves as a challenge to all other Fashionistas to step out of their comfort zone and embrace current trends, but incorporate pieces that allow their personalities to shine!

In essence, trends are important, but what really makes an outfit is the way it is carried. Style is all about self-expression, and sometimes the small touches are what make you memorable.
