Trends: Black, White & Beige (and a splash of red)

Good morning! I hope nobody has a case of the Mondays...this week is going to be as amazing as we all make it :)

This is my outfit of the day post...I love the classic combo of beige, white & black. I decided last minute to add a splash of red with the braided red belt.

I find that wearing a light colored top under a dark cardigan (like the white top & black cardi combo below) is really, really slimming (like my other outfit here).

White top: Gap (on sale for $7!), Red belt: H&M, Skirt: H&M, Cardi: H&M 

No time to put on make up this morning, tried to make up for it with a well-put-together outfit!

This skirt actually has big cargo-like pockets on the side, you can't see them because my cardi is hiding them, but the pockets give the skirt a totally different look! 

Let me know what you think...and if I'm not following your blog, post a link below so I can check it out! I will be doing a blog post round up later this week from all my fav fashion blogs...I don't want to miss any good ones!

The Details: Fuzzy Floral, Riding Boots & Pink Headband

Finally...it is Friday! And for me it is actually "Floral Friday," a trend I'm starting at the office with a coworker (which is in addition to our newly instated "Heel Wednesday").

Story 1: This fuzzy sweater, one of my favorite tops hanging in my closet, is from H&M. I found this sweater a few months ago, but it was priced at $50! It was too outrageous of a price for a top from H&M, so I passed on it (I actually posted about the sweater here). Then a month later I was browsing the sales at H&M and there it was...my meant-to-be sweater for $15! Clearly I snagged it. And that is the story of my fuzzy floral sweater.

(Short) Story 2: The headband is from the swap meet I wrote about a couple weeks ago...and definitely recommend getting together with your friends and hosting a swap party, because what is better than free & fabulous clothing/accessories?

Story 3: The boots are Steve Madden (check 'em out here). And let me just say...I love these boots! They go with everything, they are super comfortable and look good with everything from leggings to skirts to skinny jeans! A great purchase...and they have them available in tons of colors. I'm probably preaching to the choir here, everyone has these boots!

Note: I'm 5'9" with long legs, so the boots are not as tall on me as they would be on most :) 

Note: Again, tall girl here, that sweater would be much longer on most!

The Stylist: Sweater for Almost AnyBODY

I have found the perfect sweater for *almost* anyBODY. This floral sweater from H&M looks even more amazing in person - it is soft, flowy and long. Here are my suggestions on how to wear the sweater based on your body:

Curvy & Short: Roll the sleeves up. Pair with a long, skinny gold necklace. Big black bangle. Black leggings. Chunky black suede heels.
Curvy & Tall: Fold the sleeves over once. Chunky gold/brass necklace. Black leggings. Cocktail ring. Brown riding boots.

Thin & Short: Leave sleeves long. Black tights. Long pearl necklace. Black heeled booties.
Thin & Tall: Roll the sleeves up. Black tights. Chunky gold/brass necklace. Skinny red bracelet. Chunky red heels.
