STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Lovely Layers

Brisk and gloomy winter days call for a muted ensemble to mourn sunshine and warmer temperatures. As many can agree, the spring semester should feel like spring, as for the fashion. Although we can not sport short-sleeved T-shirts and flats just yet, Fashionistas on campus can certainly wear pops of color and layered outfits to make the most out of their winter wardrobes.

As she awaits spring’s arrival, this Fashionista wears a bright, contrasting vest to her black and white color palette. Rather than bumming it out in a hoodie and sweatpants, she takes advantage of the cold temperatures to layer her favorite pieces. The best part about it all is that the vest is a scarf that was tied into this fashionable winter accessory. Not only can this Fashionista wear this accessory as a vest or a scarf, but she is kept warm during her commute to campus.

This Fashionista keeps consistent with layers and trends to create a unique and fun winter look. She opts for a lace headband, matching cream top and long-layered necklaces for a more sophisticated look. Since these pieces are subtle, they complement the golden and seasonal hues in her vest. To keep comfortable and fashionable, she wears black leggings with gray boot socks and black, buckled, riding boots. She completes her look with a stack of Alex and Ani bracelets, a studded, crossbody bag and trendy bag charm to keep all of her belongings secured. You can still look chic and cozy but best of all, nobody will see your cheetah fuzzy socks underneath your boots!

It is a good idea to splurge on any fashionable accessory that allows versatility, especially products that add color and flare to boring winter looks.”
