It's about that time of the year again to bring out the heavy coats, thick sweaters, blanket scarfs and the classic knee high boots. While these are important essentials for chilly weather, they are typically not classified as "girly" clothing pieces due to the bulky silhouettes and drab colors. However, there are easy tips to transform fall and winter outfits to stay true to a romantic style. From the help of some of my favorite fashion accounts on instagram, I analyzed and took inspiration of their cutest F/W looks. Below are some of my top tips plus links for each page to check out!
1. Wear a beret- A beret adds Parisian flair to any outfit while keeping you toasty from the freezing air.

2. Make your outfit monochromatic- An easy way to create a look that is elegant and high-end is to have a monochromatic color palette. Pick one color that is either a light neutral or your favorite color, and wear pieces that are only in that particular color.

3. Layer your favorite florals with cardigans- As I mentioned from my fall trends blog post, you can still wear pretty florals even if it's not spring or summer anymore. You can wear a floral turtleneck underneath a cardigan that is in a color to match the florals or wear n oversized cardigan over a spring floral dress. Bonus tips, wear floral frilly socks to keep your feet warm and cinch your dress with a waist belt to show a flattering figure.

4. Layer knitwear over long sleeve frilly blouses and underneath summer dresses- A clever trick to wear a light weight, ruffle blouse when it's cold is to wear a chunky sweater on top of it. I find it absolutely darling to see the ruffle wrist of the top poking out from the sweater. Another tip is to wear a cozy sweater as a base layer underneath your favorite sleeveless summer dress. Not only will this keep you warm, you are also able diversify your summer closet.
