Plaid will always be one of my style favorites. The trend is so easy to incorporate from season to season. This pink plaid top, plays up a more colorful plaid than you normally see. I love the fit and cut of this blouse, as it’s a bit more boyfriend style, and oversized. I wanted this look to be super casual, so I kept things easy going and lightly layered. I’ve been wearing this grey scarf for a few days in a row now, simply because it’s practical. It also makes a great casual layering piece. I threw on a light basic tee under the plaid top, and my go to denim to feel relaxed and comfortable. The boots were a no-brainer. Typically I dress these over the knee boots up, but they also do casual pretty well. All together, I think this is a super easy outfit for Winter weekends ahead!

Bold Burgundy
BLOUSE | SKIRT similar | BOOTS
Never shy away from a bold color like burgundy. It’s a passionate, beautiful color that’s perfect for the fall / winter season. This blouse in particular has me ready to samba, if I only knew how to, that would be great. For starters, these sleeves are to-die-for. When you pair it with a little leather skirt and an over the knee boot, the look becomes evening and I’m ready to tackle Broadway! You could also throw on your favorite denim or a pair of black slacks to transform this look. If you aren’t already on board with a dramatic bell sleeve look, I suggest you jump on quick. It’s a trend that’s taking off and going nowhere fast!

Velvet Shirt Dress

From the runways of Paris and New York, its official that the velvet trend has reemerged from the 90s. Making a noteworthy comeback, velvet is dominating this fall and winter season in a brand new way. The trend is conquering women’s ready-to-wear first, with gorgeous causal pieces, accessories, and relaxed silhouettes. This cozy velvet shirt dress from ZAFUL is one example of how the market has embraced the new spin on this soft and luxe fabric.
The fit of this dress is unbelievably comfortable, especially for the holiday season. You can eat, drink and be merry in this look all night long. It paired perfectly with my favorite over the knee boots, but it can also be styled with leggings as a tunic or over tights for a more formal affair. It’s a versatile piece that dresses up any fall and winter wardrobe, while remaining casual in its shape.
I found Zaful when looking for fashion-forward styles that were also affordable. Being that this trend came straight from the runways, I knew I needed a smart shopping plan. Zaful is a one-stop online shop for exciting fashion and affordable collections. With new and emerging brands and designers, Zaful is catering to an audience who is willing to embrace new trends without breaking the bank.
As I was ready to welcome back the velvet trend from my childhood style vault, I sought out Zaful for the perfect introductory piece. For less than $15 I took the plunge and I’m loving it. Now to velvet booties and beyond. I’m head over heels for this look!
