Winter Style: layers, colors, textures.

The key to dressing warm during the winter is layers. The above look features a chunky knit pullover sweater. This oversize sweater can be worn with leggings in a variety of colors. I went with basic black faux leather leggings for this look because I wanted to pair a raspberry colored scarf over the sweater. I also love these brown ankle booties. They don't have a huge heel making them functional and a perfect color to go with several items in your wardrobe. 

If you are more of a jeans kinda girl try a dark wash skinny jean with a bright knit sweater. Splurge and try cashmere! Or you can purchase a basic knit sweater for $15 at Forever 21 in a perfectly bright variety of colors. I chose black accessories for this look because they can be worn with several winter looks. These lace up black boots look super cute with jeans, tights, or leggings. And a black bag is a winter essential. Try a printed scarf to pump up the basic look! 

For a super chic look wear a basic dress in a deep red or dark purple. Pair the dress with a textured light color long cardigan. This fuzzy ivory colored sweater mixes some texture into the look. Try a knit tight in a cozy mocha color. These cut out ankle boots are perfect for a dressy occasion or wear a tall leather boot for a more casual look. The black scarf also helps keep you cozy warm and can be worn with several winter looks. 

Casual winter dress is the epitome of this look. A quilted pullover sweatshirt gives a modern twist on a classic hoodie. The grey goes perfectly with the army green high waisted leggings. Throw on a dark red infinity scarf for a perfect color combination. And don't be afraid to go bold with a brown leather boot instead of basic black! 

Try a long sleeve knit dress for warmth this winter. I love this dark teal dress paired with a purple tight. A mix of light brown and black accessories make the look pop. A camel colored knit scarf brings out the color of the dress and a lace up ankle booties in the same variety of color bring the look together. A black classic bag with gold bangles spices up the look. Don't be afraid to mix colors. Pair a colored dress with bright colored hosiery. Or add a colorful scarf to the mix.
