Colored Tights

 Colored tights are everywhere these days. On the runway to just about every retail store I walk in. And I'm loving this trend! I found some of my favorite colored tight to show how I like to style them.






 The first outfit on the left is just so adorable to me. I love that school girl look, but I love how the colored tights add that extra edge to the classic school girl look. I paired this with a gorgeous fabric necklace to give the outfit an Victorian feel. I added the red cardigan to add some more color and a neutral bag and black loafers to tie the outfit together.

On the middle outfit I paired these gorgeous coral tights with some floral shorts and a loose top. I added on some long necklaces, cute knee socks, brown boots, vintage like jewelry, and a cute brown hat. This outfit is perfect for school or for a date. It's so sweet and girlie with a vintage feel to it.

The outfit on the right is full of fun colors. I paired these mustard colored tights with a neutral dress. I paired it with a collar necklace,vintage like jewelry, fun plum heels, and this fun winter coat!


 Don't be scared to mix colors! That's where some people get in a runt when trying to wear colored tights. You gotta mix and match a little and think outside of the box!

Back to the Basics

So yeah it's fun to buy super trendy pieces with funky patterns, but here is the rut people run into that only buy trendy pieces. They find themselves wearing them once or twice and then it sits in the back of their closet. But, you really only need a few basic pieces in your wardrobe to change that. With these 6 basic pieces I'm about to share with you, you will find you can use those trendy pieces for many different outfits!

These are my top 6 basic pieces I think are essential for your wardrobe. Let's begin with number one.

1. I don't know about you guys, but I wear jeans at least twice a week. Therefore, I don't mind spending a little extra on something I get that much use of. Pick a style that best suites you! My favorite style is skinny jeans. I love they look great with sneakers or heels. Let me show you two different ways to wear them with two totally different looks.

2. A simple basic tee. You can wear this tee in some many ways you just have to get your creative juices going! Nearly every outfit I wear I use a basic tee as my base. So here are two totally different looks you can do with a basic tee.

3. Neutral pumps are a MUST for your wardrobe. They are my go to shoes when I cannot find anything to match a certain outfit. They look good with nearly everything. Here are two looks I love to wear with neutral pumps.
4. The leather jacket. I know I've mentioned this in two post before, so clearly I love leather. I think it's definitely a must in anyone's wardrobe that likes to rock an edgy look. Here are some ways I like to wear my leather jacket.
5. Boots! I wear these nearly everyday during those cooler months! They look great with jeans and a sweater and look great with knee socks and skirts. Here are my favorite ways to wear my boots.
6. I love my blazer so much. It makes me feel so sophisticated when I wear it :). There are so many different types out there to choose from too! I have probably one of every style and one in every color I love them so much! Thrift stores are great for blazers! Here are two looks I love to rock with my blazers.

So there ya go, my basics for my wardrobe. I could post numerous ways to wear these items, but these are just some of my favorite ways. Hope this helps with your styling!
