STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Bo Peep Found Her Sheep

February 2nd, 2015 at 2:00am

For months now, I have been going crazy over this shearling fad. Sheep-inspired anything will never cease to make me smile. From Isabel Marant to Burberry Prorsum, the fall 2014 shows were loaded with both fluffy, long-haired sheepskins and shearlings. You just can’t resist the fluff, you know what I mean?

I certainly do not contest it, except for the “fluff cuff in every color” trend from the That’s So Raven era. I have been a die-hard fan of that show since day one, but I will never advocate or support this trend. There are definitely better/alternative ways to incorporate bold colors and fluffs. If we’re playing it safe, I would recommend a bold lip and stick with a neutral shearling coat. If you’re on the daring side, try a completely orange sheepskin coat balanced by some understated makeup.

Here, I am particularly obsessed with this Fashionista’s oversized knit shearling coat. If I were her, I would never take it off. It incorporates sheep without being too overwhelming. Alongside the coat, she accessorizes with a cream knit hat, camel  riding boots, green flash aviators and a matching braided tassel scarf. Beneath all of this, she wears a sheer knit top and skinny jeans. This outfit surely is perfect for a casual weekend stroll in the park.

Little Bo Peep may have had lost her sheep, but they always find their way back in the end!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Embrace the sheep. Grab a great shearling lined jacket and accessories to keep you cozy this winter!”
