Here’s my 5 favorite ways to update your winter 2013 look:
1. Patterned Pants & Leggings - ALL the rage right now. I recently got two pairs from Target, {animal print & black/white stripes} both on clearance in the $7-$8 range. And these little babies aren’t just for the super thin. I’m a 10 & feel fabulous in them.
2. Leather Jeggings – I scored a pair from WalMart last year on clearance for $3. Yep, you read that right. Most people pair leather jeggings with heels. Don’t let that scare you! I wear mine with long sweaters & knee-high boots, or with flats like below.
Just because you see a model wearing a trend a certain way does not mean you have to follow suit. My feet absolutely HATE wearing heels. I do so sparingly, choosing to make each trend fit my life not the other way around. Fear not the leather, Dahling.
3. Decorative Nail Art is sizzling hot at the moment. I adore Sally Hansen’s Salon Nail Effects Nail Strips. {Review + Tutorial here} Look, I’m a full-time working Mama of 2 tireless boys, I barely have time or energy for a clear top coat. If I really want to gussy up my nails I go straight to the source for an easy $7 manicure. I LOVE them. They last for at least 5-7 days & come off easy enough.
4. Fuzzy, floopy, poofy winter-weather ready boot – My hubby bought me the pair on the top right on clearance from Target for my recent birthday. I hate to be such a commercial for Target but they have so many of these boots on sale. They are absolutely FAB with the patterned leggings or leather jeggings I just mentioned above. Trust me. Fab, Dahling. Fab.
5. Peplum is also a huge trend right now. Peplum coats, shirts, dresses. One pep, pep, peplum & your off to a trendy winter.
Tell me, what of these trends have you tried & loved? If not, what are you waiting for?! =)

About a sweet guest
My favorite are the patterned pants. I snagged two pairs off the clearance rack in Kohl’s a while back and I love them. So fun!
Ok, so maybe they’re a little crazy, but I still love em.
Good advice.

I must get patterned pants.. or at the very least, a color. I’m so afraid to dress outside of the box!
You look great in the snake-print~ thanks for the tips, Grace!

Kristin, it can be scary, but it always seems to be worth it, especially since the risk factor is only for a day (and less than that if you want to change). I like to take risks in clothes b/c if I do it wrong it affects very few people. Taking risks in large areas of life can ruin someone’s life if I get it wrong…so I stick to clothes…on most days. =)
