STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Layering Up

Hey Fashionistas!

Just because the weather outside is frightful, doesn’t mean our outfits can’t be delightful. As winter is approaching fast in the beautiful city of Richmond, it’s imperative to layer up in order to stay warm. This Fashionista decided to do a mainly monochromatic look, while adding pops of color with her accessories.

She chose to layer an off-the-shoulder dress over some distressed black denim, while topping that off with a black cardigan sweater, large green coat and gray scarf. And to accessorize and add some pops of color to this monochromatic look, she added a baby pink choker and baseball cap paired with black, knee-high lace-up boots and some peek-a-boo pearl earrings to pull it all together. The baby pink color softens up this look and adds a nice contrast to the black and gray mixture going on.

Chokers have been in style all of 2016 and I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re all hoping they’re here to stay for 2017. The variety they show, between simple velvet ones to intricate beaded chokers prove they are versatile for all personalities and fashion styles. Not to mention this Fashionista also paired it with a matching baseball cap, another huge trend going around. Meshing the two different items together but keeping their color and material consistent is a great way to complete a look.

This outfit chosen by a beautiful Fashionista proves that just because you need to throw on that big, puffy coat you have, doesn’t mean your outfit can’t be fabulous. Mixing in some of the latest color, texture and silhouette trends while keeping it warm and layered is a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors in the winter.
