Styling Elements - Part Two

Outfit: Jacket - Target ($30), Sweater - Forever 21($10), Scarf - H&M ($12), Boots - Cathy Jean ($100)

So on Thursday, I told you guys I'd be taking one of my favorite bright pink sweaters and showing you how versatile items in your closet can be by switching your accessories. I am wearing the same sweater, undershirt and pants in this picture, my basis for the outfits. I have changed my jacket, scarf, jewelry, and boots. By just switching up these elements, you can create a whole new outfit with a whole new vibe. Try and remember this next time you start pulling the same items for an outfit you have worn countless times. You can start slow by changing your scarf...oh heck, just change it all up and see what happens. I bet you are more creative than you think :)

Short post today because I am off to a long day of work events. Ta Ta for now!

Styling Elements - Part One

Outfit: Sweater - F21 ($10), Jacket - Express ($150), Boots - Jeffrey Campbell Litas ($160), Scarf - F21 ($12)

How many of us have pieces in our closet that we absolutely love, but we wear them the same exact way every time we put them on? As a result, we end up rarely wearing these great pieces because we don't want people thinking we only have one great outfit. So, I decided to do a two part post wearing the same sweater and leggings, but changing my stylings elements to create a completely different look. It's pretty amazing what some shoes and scarves can do :)

Let me introduce you to my very bright, very pink sweater. I love wearing this sweater in the winter, not only is it warm, but when everyone is wearing neutral tones during cold weather I stand out. And I love standing out. The other day I paired it with my favorite infinity scarf and Litas. I love the look of wearing one bright color with all black and white (I think I have a thing for black and white). I love the way these elements look paired with this sweater. I felt like a modern "Pink Lady" from Grease and, since I love that movie, it was a pretty great feeling :)

Stay tuned for how I change this look completely tomorrow!

PS - I got this sweater last year, but they have a similar one for way cheap at Forever 21 this year! It's $12 right now, so don't miss out.

A Very Bright Fall

Outfit: Sweater - H&M ($2), Oxfords - Target ($18), Button-Up - Forever 21 ($15), Clutch - H&M ($12)

I know people tend to think you can't bring bright colors into fall or winter, however, I 100% disagree. The other day while sale shopping at H&M I came across this cropped, button-up sweater in both green and black. Nine times out of ten I pick the black one, however, one of the most scarce colors in my closet is green so I stepped out of my comfort zone and purchased the green one. 

I am so glad I got the green one because I love wearing bright colors with neutrals during fall and winter. Last year, I bought a bright pink sweater and I wear it all the time when it is cold. It's also quite fun to stand out in a sea of nude during cool seasons. 

So my friends, make sure you hit the store selling summer looks for extremely low prices. You may just find something you can wear all year round :)

P.S. I love this buttoned up school boy look. Such a refreshing change from the "school girl" look you often see.
