This outfit brings a warm, comfortable way to stay toasty in that early winter wind. It takes those warm colors from fall and introduces them into the early winter months. The UGG boot is a must have for any girls winter collection. This classic snow boot never goes out of style in the winter. These comfy boots are perfect for trudging through the snow or sipping hot cocoa by the fire. The puffer vest is also a nice way to keep warm without burning up. They come in many different colors, styles, and patterns so there are plenty of options. Adding a cute subtle patterened scarf makes you feel cozy while not feeling overly stuffed. Cute scarves also never ever go out of style, they can be warn spring through winter. If you wear a simple long-sleeved to 3/4 lengthed shirt underneath it is a cute way to add to the more "wintery" feel.

Brighten Up With Natural Fall Colors(;

2011-12-29T20:26:00.000-08:00

Warm fall colors can brighten up anyone's day if your feeling washed out or drab. This is a nice way to feel comfortable while using the beautiful, natural, fall foliage. The rounded shape of the cardigan gives the outfit a more flowy style. The elastic belt is the perfect way to contrast the cardigan. The necklaces add subtle details that create a more put-together and visually appealing look. It is a fun, classy, and unique style that will catch any person's attention this time of year. It is a great way to incorporate the fall colors while still being able to stand out in the crowd. Yellows, Browns, Reds, and Tans are typically the most popular or chosen colors during the fall season. These dark wash flare jeans add a more feminine pop to the outfit. The neutral yellow flats add a easy-going and approachable semblance. Flats are a MUST HAVE in every girls closet, they NEVER go out of style. Be careful when choosing yellows though, they don't look good on everybody.

P.S. It looks great if the shoes and the cardigan are matching colors! It may take a while to find the perfect shade of yellow, but if yellow is not your color, don't worry any fall color will do. For a more night-one-the-town look you can add a pair of cute tall heeled leather boots(preferably in brown or tan). If you opt for the leather boots, wear a dark wash SKINNY JEAN-no holes.

This is a fun way to spice up your evening wear. Stand out at your next party in this bright red dress. The gold and black accents add and fancy and more pulled-together holiday feel to this outfit. Keep your make up and hair simple to draw more attention to your outfit and great personality.(: Bright colors are very in style this winter season and you'll be noticed in a sea of black. *It is scientifically proven that boys/men are attracted to red* Red is a classy way to catch that special someone's attention you've been wanting for a while(; After all, the holiday season is meant to be magical. The classic black heel is a must have in anybody's wardrobe. If you aren't quite yet into the heals you could opt for a sparkly or animal print flat. The touches of black in the gold chandelier earrings and the black shoe balance the weight of the dark colors.

Comfy to Fancy Look(:

2011-12-29T18:45:00.000-08:00

This is a more casual monochromatic look that can be dressed up or dressed down for multiple occasions. The lacy 3/4 sleeved shirt adds a more feminine/fancy touch; where as if you replaced it with a similar plain t-shirt it is more laid-back and casual for day-time use. The added jewelry makes it lean more towards the fancier side for night-time wear. This outfit is perfect for eating lunch with your girl-friends or lounging around at home. Lace is VERY in style right now because it is a cute but small way to add some depth to your wardrobe. Lace is a great purchase because it is a fantastic way to pull together any outfit and it never goes out of style. Leggings are quite popular as well because they can become casual with a cute slouchy tee or fancy with a cute flowy top, scarf, and boots.

Genreal Idea on How To Create This Look:

How to get the Classic Indie Style with a girly flare(:

2011-12-28T16:56:00.000-08:00

This is a simple way of joining two simple and graphic pieces together to create one complimentary look. The belt is used to create a hour-glass figure and bring together the two shirts. Large belts are in season anytime of the year and can also be worn with skirts or dresses. This outfit would typically be worn spring through fall due to the bright colors. You could choose to replace these dark wash skinny jeans with similar dark wash flares but that will give you a more classic look. The shoes were cropped out by accident haha, but you should try to wear a shoe that brings out the colors in the graphic tank. We chose to use a more neutral yellow shoe with bronze buckles to match the bronze in the belt.

Long-Sleeve Chambray Shirt: dELiA*s-$39.50

Printed Knit-To-Woven Tank(zigzag): dELiA*s-$29.50

Natural Elastic Waist Belt: dELiA*s-$19.50

Taylor Syracuse Wash Extended Tab Low-Rise Super Skinny Jean: dELiA*s-$44.50(most of their jeans are BOGO 50% off and fit Super Well!)

Miss Me 3 Speed Lace Flat: dELiA*s-$29.50

The General Idea

1)Blue/Jean button up, Long-Sleeved with Cuffs and collar.

2)A Graphic Tank Top or T-Shirt

3)Thick Elastic Belt with a leather/metal buckle area.

4)Dark Skinny Jeans(or Flares)

5)Flats that bring out colors in the shirt.

Warm Monochromatic Winter Outfit

2011-12-28T16:19:00.000-08:00

Neutral palettes can be simple and flattering if done correct. Browns look good on just about anybody, where as brighter colors sometimes don't mix well or can be difficult to style just right. As shown above you can mix together many shades of brown, using simple pieces that tie the outfit together. Also, you want to try and bring out small accents within the outfit. For example, in the cream tank top there are gold flecks; so you could wear a gold watch or gold jewelry. Large watches are also very in style this season, it does however depend on the person, when determining the size and color. During the fall and winter seasons leather boots are also quite in style, and when wearing leather boots...MAKE SURE TO WEAR SKINNY JEANS.

Brown Sweater: Purchased at Nordstrom-$58

Cream Tank Top-Gold Flecks:Purchased at Nordstrom

Leather Boots: Purchased at Steve Madden-$250

Skinny Jeans: Purchased at Nordstrom-$58

Gold Watch: Purchased at Aldo Accessories-$35

Some of these pieces are a bit pricey here's how to make the look work for less(General Idea):

1) Long loose fitting Sweater in a neutral color.

2) Cream flowy tank top(Sheer look)-Doesn't have to have the gold.

3)Dark Wash Skinny Jeans

4) TALL ,light colored leather-like boots.

5)Large gold watch.

P.S These colors can be changed, just make sure to balance your color choices, for example if you have a navy sweater wear dark brown boots, light wash skinny jeans, and a silver watch.
