The Weather Outside is Frightful, But the Fashion is so Delightful

Welcome back! I have been MIA on the blogging throughout the entire semester, but I am back for winter break. I have survived the semester (in style of course) and can safely say that I have one semester left of my undergraduate career! With that being said, my schedule has been so hectic that I have barely had a chance to do much of anything aside from school work, job responsibilities, and mandatory events. Well, let's get started with what we are all really here for: the fashion!

The fall and winter seasons are most definitely my favorite, especially in terms of fashion. I just love being able to layer up and try out different styles and looks. I figured that this post would be dedicated to some of my favorite fall/winter fashion must haves that will maybe even inspire some upcoming looks!

First and foremost, I have been loving the classic black dress look. I have found a way to make this dress work so many times already this season. A plain dress goes a long way, as I have been mixing it with different colored/patterned tights, scarves (a MUST have in my life), and different boots. This particular dress is from H&M and is skater-style. I loved how it looked with these olive green tights and the cream colored scarf. A perfect outfit for student teaching in my case, a dinner outing, or even a great Christmas look!

Next, we have another one of my favorites this season...the fuzzy vest. Now, this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally think it adds a lot of fun to a plain outfit. I choose to pair this vest with a simple look such as black leggings, black boots, and a plain white top. The key is to use the vest as the statement and avoid overpowering it with any other bold pieces to avoid looking Ke$ha-esque. 

Here we have another must have for the season: patterned leggings! I searched all over for a pair that was just right. I knew I wanted a black and white pattern but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for at a decent price. The other day, I happened to come across these from H&M for $5!! Yes you heard me $5! I loved the funky pattern and the leggings are a nice quality and aren't see through (a difficult issue to avoid). I love how these leggings add so much to an outfit and can be paired with virtually any color sweater/boots. I like the look of these with an oversized cream sweater...just my style! 

Well, that's all for now, but I promise to keep up with the blogging throughout my winter break! Stay tuned for some of my favorite holiday looks and different ways to go out in style even in the cold winter months. Happy holidays everyone... stay toasty and remember you will always look good with a beanie on your head and a Starbucks cup in your hand! :)
