Ugly Christmas Sweater? No Way

Look festive without looking like you are trying to hard. Let's get one thing straight. Nobody actually wants to look ugly at an ugly Christmas sweater party. There are holiday traditions that will always remain: picking out your Christmas tree, baking gingerbread cookies with grandma, unwrapping those presents under the tree. But one present that seems like it is here to stay: ugly Christmas sweaters. We have made this tacky holiday event into a trend that lasts all the holiday season. There is nothing wrong with looking festive, you just don't need to wear a shirt that has light up bulbs that blink. Take it in moderation but still have fun with it. Why do we love these festive sweaters so much? They give us instant holiday cheer! It's never to early to get in the holiday spirit. Some of us get the winter blues, because contrary to belief this isn't the most cheerful time of the year, but you can make it fun if you try!

Show Off Your Spots

Unleash your inner spots! We all have a little feline waiting to roar so why not show it off in a scarf? The leopard scarf is nothing new, but why not keep it around for as long as we can- I mean after all it is a timeless print. Less is more. Some may think animal print is tacky, but all you have to do is wear it in moderation- besides any animal print on clothes, BESIDES a scarf in my opinion is extremely tacky. Some may think animal print shouldn't be on clothing because of animal rights, but you aren't actually wearing the animal and you aren't doing it intentionally- I am against the wearing of fur, so as long as your leopard print scarf isn't make of real fur, we can  remain friends. Since in the colder months people like to bundle up to be as warm as they can, a leopard print scarf can add a dash of glamour to your outfit. You can choose to rock it with a simple tee and jeans. Be edgy and rock that scarf with a leather jacket and some dark colored skinnies. Maybe perhaps a sweater and some riding boot with your hair in a bun? You can't go wrong with wearing a leopard print scarf with the ever-so-famous camel coat. So unleash your inner animal and go bold with a scarf.

Green with Envy

What color reads fall? Green! Ahh it feels as if you are taking a trip to Emerald City. Redheads rejoice. There are different shades and hues for every skin tone out there. It could either be a pair of earrings, a jacket, pants, a dress, even eye makeup. Green is a color that can transition throughout the whole year; from moss green, , hunter, to emerald, to neon. People are naturally attracted to the color green because it represents life, so why not wear it and grab the attention of others?

Lace is always a classy choice, but sometimes lace dresses aren't always that warm. But in fashion, we risk the cold to look cute, and a green lace dress looks fall enough to make it look like it was meant to be worn in the cold weather. The best time to wear a green sweater, is all the time; in a time where green trees turn brown and lose their life, you be the tree. Accenting a plain colored dress with a bold emerald necklace draws everyone's attention to your smile. Want to brighten up your face? Green smoky eyes are all the rage this fall to bring out your natural color in your face. And of course we have the ever-so-famous military jacket. Pair it with a striped top, some skinnies, and some flats for a casual chic look, and don't forget your red lipstick. These clothes will make you green with envy.

Pick Fresh Fashion From Your Garden

Flowers are only for Spring? Who said that gardens couldn't grow in the cold weather? As the weather gets colder, the colors of clothing get darker. Spring and summer florals mean fluorescent pinks and yellows that scream in your face, but Fall has a more romantic approach replacing those colors for blacks and reds.

Adding leather gives almost anything that edge you need, so pair a leather jacket with a floral dress or slip on some leather pants to a pretty floral blouse to maintain a feminine look but look like a badass at the same time. Even try adding some wooly tights to keep your legs warm, too. If you need to keep warm during this fall weather, add a floral blazer for a chic professional look. Any type of printed pant screams attention. Pants with a floral print say: "I want to look casual but i also want to command attention when I walk in the room." You don't always have to be decked out head to toe in floral to get a spring vibe in the middle of Winter. Fashion designers understand that sometimes we need to bundle up in heavy jackets so they make accessories that make the outfit pop. Why not add a floral purse? It seeks the attention you want from hiding under than solid color jacket of yours.

Florals during wintertime is all about having fun in the not-so-fun weather. Embrace your inner "lady."
