my everyday style: bling out your basics!

Winter and cold weather has a certain novelty in December when all we can think about is the holidays. But come January scarves, boots and layers upon layers can quickly get old. I find January and February some of the hardest months to keep my looks fresh and fun and to get excited about getting dressed each day.

A little creativity goes a long way and here I layered a jeweled collar top with a sweatshirt to add some fun to this look.  This jeweled collar happens to be more of a short mandarin style collar, but this would work great with any type of jeweled collar.  Layering a bit of sparkly underneath your favorite sweatshirt is a fun way to bling out your basics.
