November, and are you already tired of winter? Except maybe Shaun Palmer and Shane McConkey, a pro snowboarder. Each glossy cover of Elle, Vogue, and Mademoiselle this time of year makes me dream about the look of one of these beautiful girls bundled up in a sweater and fluffy boots. Regrettably, something goes wrong every time I try to emulate the look of a magazine.
Following my last winter fashion blog, I expressed different levels of winter fashion, different occasions, and how to make your winter wardrobe stand out with Femme Luxe.
Like a clever woman, I embrace black during winter, standing out amidst the noise of high fashion houses that dictate trends. Black looks wonderful, night or day, and it takes a lot of thinking for a girl on the track.
Black is the safest way to hide any defect, like those from eating an entire cheesecake on Thanksgiving. But black isn’t just slimming; it’s a wide range of accessories. Take this black high-neck ruched side bodycon mini dress, which is perfectly slimming; just mix it up with a cute clutch, heels, and a hair flick, and you are good to go! However, not only black but also white can look stunning at any time.
Here is a perfect example: the cream scoop neck ribbed long-sleeve bodysuit with high-waisted jeans. Don’t forget about jewellery; this year, women prefer to wear plenty of it. The old foundation of diamonds can be reversed.
Or you can try new sets of bright pearls and shells this season. They look fabulous and black; they can be as dressy and flashy as a diamond necklace. With a similarly coloured necklace, you can also emphasise your eye colour. Nothing is nicer than a pair of matching silver necklaces and sapphire eyes.
Femme Luxe has everything from jackets to dresses and more. What’s your favourite winter colour?
