Mohair and Pinstripes

w e a r i n g : Free People pants / Forever 21 sweater & turtleneck / Jeffery Campbell boots / Casio watch

A great pair of versatile pants is something I always struggle to find in the wintertime because I get tired of jeans too quickly. I fell into these pants at Free People the day after Christmas, I always find the best stuff on that day… These pants are my favorite color at the moment: navy. And they are striped, not the thick stripe that I think we are all tired of, but pinstriped. I paired them with a white turtleneck and my matching white Jeffrey Campbells. If there's one thing I'm going to miss from winter it will probably be turtlenecks, I hate to sound like a loser but they are so comfortable and, in my opinion, they look so polished and modern. But you can have your own opinion, no offense taken!

The Velvet Craze & American Apparel

Right now, as I am kind of obsessed with the whole grunge look, I've come to notice that velvet is a major part of the look. I am constantly trying to find different items that are velvet, so far I have found velvet leggings, oxfords, and hair accessories mostly. But I am dying to find the perfect oversized velvet shirt. I realized that almost every store sells a pair of velvet leggings but just not the kind I'm looking for. A store that sells the perfect pair(s) is American Apparel (my new store obsession). They carry two different types, one more high waisted then the other, and loads of hair ties and wraps made out of velvet. As I was on their site looking for these items I really took a liking to all of their other items.

I always used to think that AA's items were overpriced and just not worth the money. But when I take a second look at their items it looks like that's not the case, although some things are pricey, some things are just the same price as other popular stores. The difference with AA is that whatever I buy there I know I am going to get good use out of it since it's a basic.

Now back to velvet. How do you wear velvet? To some people, the fabric might be intimidating. So this is how I would style velvet.
