First off, Happy New Year! This night is all about dressing up so I chose to wear a cropped satin silver blouse and I paired it with my leather leggings. I also carried a vintage beige snakeskin purse to add some contrast to my monochrome outfit. I hope you all had an amazing night and the best of luck to all of you in 2015! Shop my outfit below:

Personally, dresses are one of my favorite garments. Especially if they are simple because this makes it easy to style and transition them from season to season. For this outfit I wore a minimal quarter sleeve black dress with opaque tights and a green velvet blazer to add some color. This combination adds a wintery feel, making the dress wearable for this season. I like to contrast both masculine and feminine pieces when styling an outfit, such as pairing my chunky boots with the lose fitted dress. If you wanted to wear this to a formal occasion all you would have to do is swap the boots with some simple black heels and your ready to go!

The thin heeled stilettos have been switched out to chunky heavy duty footwear in high-street fashion.The heavy duty footwear look has been dominating the catwalks these past few seasons and we believe this trend is going to stick for a while. From chunky cutout sandals in Spring/Summer collections to heavy duty boots in the Fall/Winter ones, this style can be transitioned throughout the changing of the seasons. A fun way to style this type of footwear is to pair them with printed socks to peek through the cutouts or even pair the chunky shoes with a lose fitting dress to add contrast with your garment.
