Fallfashion: Blanket Dressing

Since  Burberry announces a poncho monogramming service, it’s time to layer up and (warmly) embrace the biggest outerwear trend…

The cashmere sweater poncho is your best friend when hanging out in a relaxed environment. Besides the fact that it is oversized, soft, and luxurious to touch, your appearance is further want worthy because of the poncho’s natural elegance.

 

 high High: look for a poncho that hits your thigh. A poncho with length adds sophistication to your look. Bluntly said, a short poncho can make you look short and fat (Sorry! It’s true!!).

Open Neck: a poncho with a deep V-neck or large round neckline makes for a relaxed look. A turtleneck poncho can look restrictive, especially so when it is warmer out and you don’t need the extra warmth.

Winter Tip: if it is chilly out and you need to wear a coat, you cannot put on a puffer, pea coat, or anything fitted because of the poncho’s dropped arms and excess fabric that will make the fit too snug. The solution is a cape! A cape is the stylish way to “winterize” and yet still wear bulky clothes underneath because of the extra shoulder room that they have.

Tips To Developing Your Own Style

Developing your style doesn’t have to be difficult, it can be as simple as five easy steps. You guessed it, I’ve outline  steps and tips that will help you develop your own style. It’s time to show off your personality through your clothes and play with the looks in the your closet. Check out my tips and let me know what you think!

First, Be Open- Finding your own style doesn’t mean that you have to keep to one type of style. I personally like bohemian looks along with glammed out outfits. I mix my looks around. It’s okay to be open to more than one style. It’s okay to play with style.

Find Some Base Items- Pick up some base looks that can be worn with everything. Get looks that you can build on like a plain black tank or some plain colored crop tops. Work your way up from there. I’ve been guilty of having too many patterned looks with not a lot of base tops or skirts to wear them with. It’s important to have a mix of the two.

Find What You Love- What’s in your closet that you can’t live without? Find out what your favorite pieces are, and then make a note of it. Study those pieces. This way, you know what appeals to you so you can pick out more looks that appeal to you in the same way.

Follow Fashionistas That Inspire You- Use your social media outlets to your benefit. Follow, bloggers and creatives that have a style you crave. Get inspired and use their looks to help create outfits of your own.
