After 5: A Pop of Color

Would you ever pass up an opportunity to spend most of your day bundled up in your home? Imagine relaxing with laying in your thickest blanket, watching your favorite television shows, sipping a mug filled with hot chocolate, and resting by an open fire place. This “lavish” lifestyle sounds ideal if you plan to spend the rest of winter hibernating like a grizzly bar.

In the winter, we are treated to some of the most relaxing days of the year. However, we encounter some of the dreariest days this season. We experience shorter days, reduced sunlight, and a general lack motivation to do anything productive.  

In addition to affecting our daily routines and emotions, the dreariest days of winter can interfere with our daily wardrobe choices as well. Our monochromatic shades of blacks, grays, and whites are more prevalent during this season. Just in case you only have a desire to wear one shade all season, make sure you can brighten up your look with a pop of color.

For this post, our veteran model, Janaia, shows how to sexy and chic during the winter, with a pop of color!

“A pop of color makes you stand out against the snowy days!” – Janaia

Adding a pop of color can make a bold statement by being worn together or separately. If you want enhance your monochromatic ensemble, try a bright colored pair of pumps, accessories, skirts, or sweaters. This will enhance your shopping experience and make it more fun!

When wearing black, you have to be a little careful. You don’t want to be that guy or girl that looks boring. Its unfortunate when we see those individuals in the street.

If you dare to wear all black, take the “all” out of the equation. It is important to spice up your look through different patterns or colors. In Janaia’s case, she decided to switch up her appearance by adding a bright colored skirt to her outfit. The skirt gives us innocent, yet chic at the same time. 

You are probably wondering, “Isn’t this girl kind of cold with this little skirt on?!” Well, that is why we have stockings, which are a must for this outfit.

 Janaia purchased her outfit from a variety of stores including Forever21, American Eagle, NastyGal, and DSW. In addition to our blog, Janaia gives some great fashion advice and looks on Instagram. When you get a chance, go check her out @janaiaaaliyah .
