Simple but Sophisticated

      All this talk about winter creeping up on us, and now the freezing temperatures are finally here. Sad, I know. But does the cold weather stop me from keeping tights out of my outfits? You bet it doesn't! Call me crazy, but tights and leggings are the most adorable accessories to winter wardrobes. But wearing tights is not as crazy as the people who are still riding their bikes to ICC; now they are crazy! Well, if you haven't already guessed, I am doing another blog about a winter outfit!
       In my last blog, I got a request about letting you know about some cute dresses that are now arriving, so this was my main focus for this blog. Considering how many new dresses I see coming into stock, it is apparent I am not the only one who likes to piece tights/leggings with a dress. Although most of these new dresses match the winter theme, not all of them are associated with winter. This means that if you do not like the Nordic print, or soft winter colors, you can pick a regular style dress.
      The dress I chose for this look has a pattern that can be associated with snow flakes, totally winter! I love this dress because it is simple, but sophisticated. I chose a gray sweater cardigan and gray sheer tights. Why sheer you ask? Well, a solid color would take away from the dress, and all the attention will be on your legs. Sheer tights allow you to have a little color, but not too much where it overbears the whole look. For shoes, I chose the lovely sweater boots. I personally love these boots, but they are going to be terrible in the snow. These specific boots actually math the fabric under the lace pattern on the dress perfectly! I left the extra accessories up to you  guys. It gives you a chance to add your personal spice to the look!

It's cold, but be hot!

        Mainly, I have put my focus for these outfits on the winter season, wouldn't you agree? Well once again, I have another winter look, BUT with a special twist. Even though it will soon be freezing out, you will surely be smokin' hot with this outfit.
        Now that winter break is almost a month away, some of you, as well as myself, will probably be going somewhere warm! The past three years I have been away from home for the holidays, and I always have only one Christmas outfit. Now that I work in Wet Seal, I have come across many new Christmas outfits I can wear instead of the same one every year. For example, the one I used for this post!
        I will be going to Florida this winter break, and you bet I won't be sitting in a house, I'll be going out with my friends! So, I wanted to give all of you ladies a great going out outfit, with a little Christmas spirit inspiration! So, obviously, I chose a red top since red is the color associated with Christmas. This top does show a little navel, but it looks really good, I promise! Also, the next color associated with Christmas is, of course, white, so that is why I used the white pants again. You could also do a dark wash or even black if white does not work out for your personal taste. If you do decide to go with a darker wash, you might want to consider either silver or gold jewelry and shoes, instead of the black ones I chose today. Too much black is never good. If you are going somewhere this Christmas, I'd love to know! Also, if you choose a look like this I would love to see how it worked out for you!

Winter wonderland

       For this weeks blog I’m not introducing any new style, but simply giving you guys another idea for an outfit. Halloween is over now, and winter is on her way. Last time I gave you the sweater look, but sweaters are for when there is feet of snow on the ground. So, this week I want to show you how you can ease your way into winter without the sweaters.
       This outfit has a spark to it that I just love. I actually have this snowflake shirt and when light hits the beads, they change to a variety of colors: blue, purple, pink, green color. It looks really neat. Considering there is not much skin covered by this snowflake shirt, I chose a pink cardigan, but when you wear it with this outfit it should be unbuttoned. Also, once again, I chose white pants for this winter look. White just screams winter to me! Next, my favorite part of this outfit, is the pumps. It is hard to tell from the picture, but these awesome shoes have glitter on the bottom and the heel, and the glitter matches the color of the beads! The look wouldn’t be complete without a pair of legwarmers, so I added a simple pair that match the design of the shirt.
       If any of you try outfits that I put up, please please let me know how it worked for you! I hope all of my advise is helping you when you go shopping, or even if you have all these items, and just need to know how to put them together. Also, I added a link that takes you to the website where I pick all my items from, check it out!   http://www.wetseal.com/outfitter/outfit.jsp?outfitId=667664
