Five Fashion Trends to Set You Free for Winter 2012!

Sequins and Metallics
Wear a gold or silver jacket with a tee and some jeans to add a little sparkle to your daytime look or wear a metallic piece in a sporty silhouette with a pair of ankle boots for a more sophisticated and modern look. However you wear them let the glitzy pieces speak for themselves and keep accessories minimal.

Bold Colors
All of those bold colors you bought during fall to stay on trend will not go to waste! Bold colors are here to stay for winter. So, splash up your wardrobe with a bold color on top or bottom while the other is a neutral or dark.

Sweater Dress
These dresses are the perfect way to stay chic, sexy, stylish, and warm! Wear them with bold leggings or bare legged, dangly earrings or an arm full of bracelets, maybe even pumps or boots, you decide!

Knee-High Boots
You can match these boots with everything from mini-skirts to long winter coats. Knee-high boots go great with a pair of tights/leggings and a sweater dress.

Hats
A little shy about being with the trend? This is the perfect way to dip your toe into a trend without wearing it head-to-toe. From berets to beanies, fedoras and trappers, hats are the ultimate accessory this season.
