Style Inspiration: The Dead of Winter!

Up here in Wisconsin there is very little on our minds besides how to stay warm. But I like to put some effort into looking cheerful and bright even in the height of dreary winter. I included some pictures I got off of pinterest to hopefully inspire you to break out of the grays and blacks of winter drab. (I did not include where these pictures are originally from because I don't know.... feel free to comment if you know).

Try wearing brightly colored pants. 

Pair with your favorite winter warm sweater or button-down shirt to keep you cozy.

Mix patterns for added interest.

Stripe pair easily with virtually any pattern, but there are plenty of other ideas too. My favorite go-to is plaid with polka dots. The key is to pair a larger pattern with a smaller one.

Use different textures.

Tweeds with lace. Leather with fur. Chunky sweaters with patterned tights. Get super creative!

Add a Colorful Scarf.

Even if you are running out the door you can still add some punch to your daily ensemble. Shown are red and yellow, but trying bright green, blue, purple, or orange is just as fabulous!

Wear a colored coat or jacket.

Adding a colored jacket instantly makes you look like a million dollars. Everyone wears neutrals, Everyone. Brights can be every bit as versatile as neutrals but four times as interesting. Try pairing them with patterns or neutrals, or even other bright colors.

Make an entrance with sparkles.

Adding a shimmery top or a glitter skirt can make a tremendous statement. Keep warm by pairing sparkles with warm tights or a cozy sweater.

Above all stay warm!!!!
