Fall and winter were always my least favorite seasons.  Fall is okay actually, I love the light coats, and boots.  But I find the whole “fashion blogger Sweater Weather OOTD” to be very boring.  It is the same mustard yellow/grey sweater, with skinny jeans, some variation of boots, and a rose gold watch.  EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Winter is almost never very colorful, or bright, or fun.  It’s never the fluffy or retro season that summer is.  But your winter wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring.  For a while I was quite sad about how boring A/W clothes were, but I’ve found a few solutions.

Texture

I can’t say I’ll never conform to the fashion blogger fall wardrobe.  But sometimes, and just sometimes, I’ll be rebellious and wear outrageous things only someone of my age could get away with.  My favorite trend this season, AKA the only one I know/care about, is fluffy sweaters.  But if you prefer not to don a monster’s friend, any sort of texture should brighten up your wardrobe.  I have flannel shirts, a fluffy sweater, this iridescent sequin sweater, and even leather.

Statement Necklaces

I do have to say that I love weird things.  Statement necklaces like these are so very quirky and fun.  They’re exactly what I should think of when I hear TopShop.  Anything bright, colorful, or just odd is just perfect  to make all those plain white sweaters look not so “blogger-y.”  They’re even better with matching crowns, and things.  Yes…  It gets better.

Hair Accessories

Things like this can be DIY-ed, as  I’ve made both scrunchies and flower crowns on my own.  That’s what makes them so perfect to brighten up outfits.  Since they’re completely customizable, no one else will have anything like it, so there’s no way it’ll look like a blogger uniform.  But if  you like a more classy look, that’s still not boring, ASOS has plenty of headbands, veils, and the works.  I bought that pink one because it reminds me of the Tavi Gevinson bow at fashion week, and because it’s perfect for my pastel obsession.

Rings

For me, bracelets and sweaters don’t go well.  So in the winter, what keeps my arms looking stylish I have to don rings upon my fingers.  My favorites are big, clunky, and stack-able, so they definitely make my winter wardrobe less bland.  Rings can also come in a variety of prices, but honestly, I’d rather buy multiple inexpensive rings, than a couple high-quality pieces.
