Fashion Friday: Beating the seasonal blues

It's getting to be that time of year again. All the leaves are changing colors, and its getting downright chilly outside. If you are thinking about dragging out that heavy, dark coat to make it through the winter, try taking another approach.

Invest in some cost-friendly pops of color to get you through the season. It doesn't hurt, I promise!

This year, stripes and plaid are very in...like they were ever really out. Use very simple versions of them to add serious interest to your winter garb.

Items in this set:
Charlotte Russe jacket, $40
Charlotte Russe boots, $25

Mix two simple but similar plaids together and then spice it up with a very bright scarf and gloves. You will be very fashionable without being over the top!

 

I love the Audrey Hepburn appeal of this coat, it is very classy. The knit cap above is very popular this season. I have literally seen them everywhere, and I can't get enough.

 

 

 

peachy winter by houseofdevign featuring Forever21

Items in this set:
Forever21 jacket, $30
Peacocks.co.uk boots, 15 GBP
American Eagle Outfitters scarf, $25
Forever21 umbrella, $5.50
Wetseal.com sunglasses, $3

 

To be unique, wear an unusual color, and don't forget to match your umbrella! There are many way to be bold but not overdone. In this case, pick a simple scarf and boots and give the coat center stage.

 

I adore the black quilted Wellies, may have to have some for myself, and I am seriously considering snagging the striped sunglass. They are a steal!

 

Now, go out there and give your winter gear a face lift and show me what you came up with!
