Hey Mickey

With this arctic vortex sweeping the nation, I've been even more into layering than usual. I love a collared top underneath a sweater, and even though it's a preppy look, you can put your own spin on it by adding black jeans, attention-grabbing footwear, and dazzling accessories.

I think this graphic sweater is so cute! I'm always going to be a Disney girl at heart and this top is the perfect way to add sweetness to any ensemble. 

Decorate your fingers with delicate silver rings. Make them pop by painting your nails a bright color. 

The thick heel on these booties makes them extremely comfortable and walkable. I think their height is unique too - they're not exactly ankle booties but they're definitely not high boots either. They're a fun pair to play around with and they always add an extra special touch to whatever I'm wearing.

Can you tell that I love matching my accessories?

Red is a color that everyone looks great in but not everyone takes advantage of. Especially during these dreary days of January, most people opt for neutral colors or stick to their usual scheme of black and white. Red serves as a fun burst of color that can easily be transitioned into any wardrobe and is still appropriate for winter.

You can even add a splash of red in the form of a statement accessory to your favorite black sweater. Red truly is a beautiful accent color to any neutral. 

Wow in red!
