A New Year, A Fresh Page.

Happy New Years everyone! I've been all over the place on the East coast recently, including NYC. I rang in the New Years in a comfortable yet fashionable outfit that grabbed attention neutrally. I'm one for colors and patterns (always inspired by BCBG) but recently I have found that I have a growing appreciation for neutral tones, particularly this camel shade. (Michael Kors uses this palette quite often)
For this outfit I paired an oversized sweater with black leggings, neutral tone over the knee boots, arm length gloves and stacked bangles/bracelets.

What Im wearing...
1. Michael by Michael Kors sweater in dark camel. $99.50
2. Black Pink Rose Leggings $12.98
3. ALDO faux black leather gloves $20
4. Miscellaneous gold bracelets I have collected over the years and my mom
5. Dolce Vita Over Knee boots in Nantucket Tan

($130 but bought for $100 at DSW)

This outfit is more on the designer side but the idea is to pair the expensive items with the more generic names. The sweater is a basic that I think looks amazing on all body types. If I were to wear this sweater with a different outfit I would defiantly consider cinching the waist with a wide belt. Belts are always our friends! As for gloves, I love to wear them in the winter. The newest over knee boot trend has been something I saw coming ever since The Devil Wears Prada came out and Anne Hathaway rocked a pair of thigh high Chanel boots. Ever since, I have been on the search looking for the perfect pair, and now that they are popular they are in easy access. The Dolce Vita's boots were defiantly a splurge but I made sure to buy them at a location I could use coupons or find them discounted. As for my bracelets, I've collected many from ALDO, Forever 21 or Macy's, but some of my favorites are from my moms jewelry box : )

(these are the usual suspects in gold)
