Don't worry about your mom's stone age rule in regards to white after Labor Day...it doesn't apply anymore (so just forget what you've heard)! Winter whites are your beige, stone, white, ivory, and taupe color palates and when different textures and shades are paired together they make for the perfect Winter combination! The key to pulling this trend off is your ability to mix different textures and shades. I would suggest thinking about it the way you see paint shades grouped together... By combining different textures such as a sequined top, silk blazer, knit pant, or a wool sweater it will make your outfit appear less matchy-matchy! 

*Plus size tip, keep lighter shades up top and fade to darker shades to keep you from looking too bulky!   

We knew pastels were going to be big this Spring but we're seeing A LOT of pastel pairing this Winter! Pastels are very easily matched with neutral tones and look great when layered. Layering over your pastels helps to tone them down for more of a Winter spin on this Spring color palate! 

Trend to try: The Suit

When you wear a suit it demands respect… You look confident, feminine, and in control. You can find basic pieces at any thrift store for the lowlow, and putting your individual spin on it is just as easy! Personalize your blazer by adding shoulder pads (or removing them), trim, or beading!

One Winter trend I am loving right now is glitter accessories! Glam up your outfit by adding some sparkle, but remember it’s easy to go overboard--so use sparingly!
