turtlenecks

Turtle necks at first seem awkward and out dated but are a key tool for fall/winter if you wear them right.

For example Anne Hathaway looks super cute in her leather jacket paired with a turtleneck and suede boots.

baby costumes

Babies look cute in just about anything! But I have realized that the way to go is with the more traditional costumes. Such as a Bee, Panda or Lion!

ice skating

An ice skating trip can be tricky to find the right outfit. When you arrive you are cold and then when you start skating you get hot.



This is perfect for the occasion! Trade the heals for some flats or cute tennis shoes and you will be set. The stretchy black jeans are chic and give you comfort on the ice. The cardigan is easy to take off if you get too warm and the beanie gives it that winter feel.

boots

As the weather gets colder and the days become more wet you do not always want to be wearing flip flops. Boots are a great way to look fresh and keep your feet from being exposed. From thigh high to ankle, styles and lengths have a wide range. A tip to keeping your pants in your boots is to tuck them into your socks. Here are some examples of the different heights and styles ...

thigh high boots can be folded down to get a different look ...


knee high boots look cute with a mini or shorts ...


cute calf high cowboy boots look good with sundresses, just ask Taylor Swift ...

wild prints

Animal prints have been around for as long as I can remember and the way you can wear them keeps changing. You can wear animal print so that it looks very classy and you can make it look very trashy. It does not take much for you make the print be overpowering.

Of course Kim Kardashian looks amazing in this classy scarf that gives just the right touch of funk ...



Over doing the print is very hard to avoid at times Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has it all wrong in this picture. Her dress is too short and too low cut for this print ...

black and white

Black and white are both tints not colors so spice then up with a splash of your favorite color. This will make your outfit seem more dynamic and put together rather than having no color or too much. It is an easy thing to remember for those who do not spend that much time getting ready.

This black and white high waisted pencil skirt looks amazing with the pop of yellow. It brighten ups the whole outfit without putting to much time into thinking what to wear.
