4 winter trends

Style is all about experimenting. These are 4 trends I promise you'll be seeing this winter. 

1.Winter white out 
A fashion law is don't wear white after Labor Day, I mean that rule has been around for long as I remember. But laws are meant to be broken. Yes, you can wear white after Labor Day but there are still guidelines. You have to make sure they're winter pieces. Don't you dare bring out that white sundress in December. As long as it's done right it looks absolutely gorgeous. 

2. Plaids
I went to a private school so trust me, I know all about plaid. It's making a come back and I'm loving it. It's so easy to style with and always a classic. I might just have to pull out my plaid jumper. 

3. Fur vest
Nothing says "Rich bitch" like a nice fur vest. Sometimes it's hard to pull off a fur vest but when you do, you look so fabulous. Pair with a chiffon collard shirt, great sunnies and pull your hair in a sleek ponytail or sock bun and you'll look great. 

4. Wool shorts
Now if you know me you know I don't let the seasons control my life. It'll be 30 degrees and you better believe I'll still have an iced coffee in my hand. I think that's why I'm so happy to see wool shorts this season. I even got myself a pair from Piperlime in a plaid pattern. Pair them with opaque tights underneath and a great loafer.

Lazy chic

I love being lazy, I mean duh who doesn't? But that doesn't mean I let myself look lazy. The only time I will wear uggs is if it's snowing, below 20 degrees or just lounging around the house. Winter isn't all about uggs and sweatshirts. I promise you there is a way to be lazy and still look great. 

When I hear lazy I think leggings...basically synonyms, right? Believe it or not there are right and wrong ways to wear leggings. Don't let anyone tell you leggings are pants because they are not. I've noticed that when leggings are worn as pants they make your body look awkward and unflattering. When you wear them you should wear a longer shirt like a button down or an oversized sweater. My favorite to wear with leggings is my oversize chambray shirt. 

I don't believe in uggs but I do believe in boots. Get a good pair of boots and everything you wear will look complete. I love tall riding boots and little booties. Also pair them with long socks! If you know me, I pretty much wear high socks with almost everything. I'm obsessed! They look so good and for sure pull everything all together. 

Don't be the cookie cutter lazy girl. You can still dress lazy without anyone knowing. Don't look like everyone else. Whatever you wear always look and feel confident!
