Texture

The holiday season is officially over and a few months of winter loom ahead. Personally after Christmas I'm ready to dive right into springtime. January/February have always been my least favorite months of the year, but I'm going to try really hard to give them a chance to surprise me this year! In super cold temps dressing can seem like a chore (layers on layers on layers), so I've been trying to find a way to make winter fashion fun. While online shopping the other day the inspiration I was searching for suddenly hit me- texture! Think about it, what other season do we get to play with so many different type of fabrics at one time? Winter is the perfect time of year to add depth and tactile/visual interest to your emsemble since you have to wear so much clothing out of necessity. I've compiled a list of my favorite textures and a few examples of how to rock them- take a look!
