Bright & Bold Winter

Just because it’s bitter cold and dreary outside, doesn’t mean our wardrobe has to be dark and dreary! Don’t leave your bright and bold wardrobe hanging in your closet all through the winter, coordinate it into your winter wardrobe. {WARDROBE TIP}: Layer and pair your favorite tops with your vests, denim long sleeves, button up shirts, and knitted cardigans.

This style blog will be giving some outfit inspiration on a yellow puffer vest, yes, yellow. My winter wardrobe is a lot of black, gray, maroon, and all other darker colors you can think of. To brighten up my wardrobe, I seen the perfect mustard yellow vest at Old Navy.

Here are a couple different ways and tips on how/what to wear with this bold vest:

I always need something around my neck, either a scarf or necklace is needed to incorporate into my 
everyday wardrobe. In this case I pair this scarf into my vest because the maroon in this solid colored long-sleeved creates a great contrast to the mustard yellow. With this scarf, it incorporates all the colors in this wardrobe and more. The yellow, maroon, and even incorporating the colors from my Rampage boots.

Solid colored long sleeve’s that I recommend for this mustard yellow vest:

·         Maroon

·         White

·         Black

·         Gray

·         Dark or light denim

·         Dark or light brown

·         Purple

·         Dark green

Let’s talk about STRIPES, baby.

Pulling away from the plain and solid colored long sleeved shirts, why not stripes to amp up this #OOTD?

The picture shown above, is a darker green striped long sleeve. Black and white stripes work too, and makes a very casual and simple, but chic look. Spruce up this outfit with some wrist jewelry and a necklace to add more chic to the simplicity of the look also.

One of my favorite laid back looks fall through winter are flannels. I knew when getting this vest I wanted to incorporate my flannels to create this unique #OOTD, and I found the PERFECT  flannel;

As you can see in the picture above, there are little hints of yellow throughout the flannel layer. The hint of yellow is just enough to mesh these two tops together, but where it’s not too much yellow meshing with the vest. The contrast of the blue/green into the yellow is PERFECT. I absolutely love this look, perfect layering piece! Another flannel color that would be perfect layering piece would you gray, black, and white! Play around with your flannels, find the perfect contrast with a bold color like this vest and a flannel out of your closet. Create new outfits with the mix-match of your own closet.
