Todays style

My wardrobe staple is the skinny jean. I have just shy of 20 pairs in an array of different colours, so it would be fair to say that I have an addiction. I have decided though, that I need to veer away from my comfort zone and go for something different. I'm not a big fan of dresses but then there was a time when the thought of wearing a skinny jean would horrify me, so I will give it a shot. I want to go for a look that will keep me warm and looking fashionable whilst providing a slightly more feminine look to my indie chick inspired style.

Now I'm not going to get crazy and go all out there, so I found these items which stick to my love of understated colours and went with the burgandy boyfriend beanie hat to add something a bit brighter. I have gone with the shirt and studded boots which draw back to the masculine elements I like to have in my outfits

I love this look as I prefer to layer in the winter, I think it keeps me warmer plus I enjoy throwing things together even if I do resemble the bag lady at times!

Colour Trend

Burgandy, plum and maroon are a few of the names used for THE colour of Fall/Winter 2012. This rich, warm and luxurious shade is everywhere right now. Here are a range of my favourite items in this fabulous colour, from popular high street store, Topshop.

 Rather than wearing it head to toe, I suggest choosing one piece at a time to avoid the fashion victim look! If you are unsure of the colour trend, you can always go for something that has a hint of it instead.

 

You could keep your outfit simple and brighten it up with footwear. Whether you prefer flats or heels, there is something available for work or play, day or night. 

  

 If you would rather keep the use of the shade subtle, you can wear it using accessories or cosmetics.

There are so many different ways to work this trend depending on your budget and personal style. However you choose to incorporate the hottest colour of the season into your look, as long at you don’t go OTT, you can’t go wrong!
