hello dear readers. Back again! I’ve been a little absent this week and I apologize for that. Today, I wanted to draw inspiration from many different places. (A few of my own outfits and a few darling bloggers) I think it’s important at the beginning of a new year and in the heart of winter to remind you that style is still important! We all can dress to depress! (Look so good it depresses people!! Haha one of my favorite quotes).

So, point is… I got some tips for you. And some sweet deals. We are going to keep it short and sweet!

3. Don’t be so matchy-matchy. Remember pattern mixing? But…this is even more my friends! You know in the early 2000’s or 90’s when you wanted to have a tank top that matched each shirt you wore? (My sister and I laugh about this all the time.) yeah, that isn’t supposed to be happening anymore. You also don’t have to wear a dress with navy and red print and then wear red or navy pumps. Try pairing complementary colors together, or neutrals are always good. Pattern mixing also falls into this category. Refer to my last post.

2. When in doubt, chose black. An easy choice to make your clothes look both more chic and expensive. A black dress is classic, black jeans skinny jeans are a staple, and a back pencil skirt can make anyone look great.

1. Layer– like your life depends on it! When winter comes around, there is nothing more darling than layer outfits. No one wants to see a bunch of skin and you’ll be so uncomfortable. The most stylish outfits always have at least 3 pieces to draw your eye. LAYER.
