Adios: My Top Five To Say Goodbye to Winter!

No one is more excited than this gal that "winter" is nearing it's end in 2014. Although I am in sunny California, I cannot complain seeing that my counterparts on the east coast are freezing their buns off due to wretched winter storms. Nonetheless, I bid my farewell to winter, but not before counting down my top 5 Winter favorites of the season. Since there are only a few weeks left of the season,  now is the best time, and your last chance,   to rock the last of winters fashion favorite trends. Make the best of our goodbyes with the cold weather by rocking the following winter trends that can be subtly transitioned into Spring fashion.

The Knitted Sweater: This sexy number will not only keep you warm, but was a hot winter essential. Pair the look with warm tights, long-over the knee boots, add a hat, preferably a fedora or beanie and you have a fast, on the go look. Be fashion savvy, if you haven't had the opportunity to rock a knitted sweater, shop the sales going on now as department stores are getting ready to clear the racks for all of our Spring must haves.

Skinny Jeans: The classic pant has no end in sight. The skin tight pant has evolved and transcended through the past several years adding edge to it's skinny legs and a rockers edge to all of us glam rocker gals. Wear the pant with a loose fitted top or knitted sweater, glam it up by wearing heals to add length to your leg. For the all start treatment, wear a a black skinny, button up blouse, with a fitted jacket/blazer, rock the high bun and a red lip and prepare to make them heads turn.

Pretty in Cashmere: The sweater of all sweaters, the cashmere sweater is a timeless piece that every girl should own. Pricey, yes of course, but as I mentioned, it is a staple that every girl should really own. It's the cream of the crop of sweaters. This chic sweater adds an elegant preppy touch to any outfit. Don't know when to dust out your pristine cashmere sweater, any time really, but if you would like to look extra sleek and presentable, rock the sweater at any gathering you know "important" people will sure to be at (for example, a place you must dress to impress), and preferably at an interview (weather permitting).

Tuxedo Blazer: Now my favorite trend that has come out since the high heel itself has to the tuxedo blazer. To me, it's just the item to make an outfit stand out.  I own several blazers, I think they're just magnificent. If you don't own a blazer, my suggestion is that you at least own one in your lifetime. It's another timeless look that will add an extra element of elegance to an outfit, depending on the event/work/happy hour you're going to. Pair a tuxedo jacket with slim fit pants and a button down blouse. The look is supposed to be sleek and clean. For other alternatives, if you're not into the white tuxedo blazer, find a print that will go best with your wardrobe. Tuxedo jackets can be found for any budget, the above animal print blazer can be found at Target for $12.00, on sale. Again, it's that time of year where all stores nationwide are clearing their racks to gear up for Spring.

 Knee High: Add an element that is bound to turn heads and add a naughty vibe to any short black skirt in one of Winters trendiest trends, and mind you a good way  to bid a farewell to the cold weather season, and wear a knee high boot. This sinful look is bound to make it's comeback in Fall/Winter 2014, and since there are still five weeks to rock this ultra sinful sexy look, why not end Winter with a bang! Pair this boot with an short long sleeved dress and faux fur vest. Let the kitty cats come out and play. Although it is coming to that time of year where we wrap up our affair with the winter season, remember to wear some of the above fashion trends to help you make the slow transition into the season ahead. Let's enjoy the best of winter for the next few weeks as we prepare to hit the pavement with our best and brights of Spring!
