Street Style: A City Girl’s Guide

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during those long winter months, street style is all about layering up. But it can be challenging to look fashionable and express your personal style with all those layers. I have come up with a few fun tips & tricks to helping you express your personal style & staying warm at the same time. For Date Night looks in the Winter, head to one of my previous blog posts for tips and tricks.

LEOPARD IN THE CITY: A CLASSIC TREND

Honestly, layering up is great in Milwaukee from the Fall season through Spring. During the Fall, it could be really cold in the morning and super hot in the afternoon. In the Winter months, it can be all about warmer layers, such as sweaters and furs and leather jackets.

Leopard print has been a, “trend” that evolves each season in new and fun ways. Taking a bold print or pattern and pairing it with a graphic T-shirt, a trendy boot creates a dynamic and fun look. I really enjoy this particular look for a Saturday morning brunch & shopping with the girls. It’s fashion forward, reflects my personal style and is able to create comfort for shopping.

FAUX FUR COAT & STATEMENT NECKLACES: TEXTURE

If there is a fashionable faux fur coat, I own it. I am all about having a fun assortment of faux fur to add that extra splash of texture to my look. Bonus is that many of them are warm enough to wear on those cold Winter days. I love to pair a long black, faux fur with a great pair of light wash denim jeans and a patterned pump. When thinking about jewelry options during those cold Winter months, I really love creating balance in those larger faux fur pieces with a larger statement  necklace. What a great way to create an additional flare of texture. When styling a fashionable street style outfit, it is all about creating subtle pops of pattern & texture.

LEOPARD PRINT BLAZER, BY THE LOFT

20200102_192736

This leopard print blazer is high quality, from The Loft and because leopard print, at least for me, is a neutral it is a total win. And it was only: $9! SCORE! I paired it with vintage denim jeans, black, velvet pumps and this gold, faux leather clutch, $4.99.  You can put an over sized, white collared T-Shirt, vintage T-Shirt or a little camisole underneath. The options are endless.

MILITARY JACKET, BY ZARA

20200102_192805

This Zara, Military, Army green jacket was only, $7.99 at Good Will. Great cut, fit and style for such an amazing price point. I paired it with vintage, boyfriend denims, white booties, a navy blue turtle neck knit sweater and these little faux diamond earrings from Banana Republic. I also would love this jacket to be paired with a black dress and knee high boots. You could also wear it with a vintage T-shirt and a leather skirt with black pumps. This is such an amazing and necessary staple to your wardrobe.

If you are interested in shopping Good will, it can take some hunting, but I promise the gathering is so much fun and worth it! ***Happy Shopping***
