Sheer Love

It's winter time...middle of January...blah, blah, blah...So unless you have stolen away to an exotic tropical resort in St. Martin or Tahiti, you are probably in a the mode for layers, scarves and hot cups of tea...all the time. I know I have recently become addicted to late evenings of How I Met Your Mother episodes and chocolate chip snacking! I just have to say, I'm watching the first season and on that part when Ted is dating the baking girl, Victoria and she keeps sending him care-packages of cupcakes and it makes my  sweet tooth quiver. What can I say, watching people eat on TV makes me so hungry-- if I watched Gilmore Girls all the time I would probably never stop consuming!!

Anyways, my rambled point is, the winter can make us sluggish and unmotivated to keep experimenting with our wardrobes. First, if you do feel a tad bit lethargic, start by improving your mood by getting outside more...take a walk (if it's not absurdly cold out) or join a workout class. I have started Power Yoga twice a week, and it definitely up's my energy!! This will encourage you to just be happier in everything that you do...including...staying style conscious and inspired.

Let's look at a favorite trend of mine...sheer. Sheer outfits really stand out -- especially in the winter time because they show that extra bit of skin without actually exposing it. Sheer can be sexy and classy at the same time and reveal a lightness in your style.

Not only is this form fitting at the waist, but the sheer top and lace is sexy and elegant in one fell swoop!

  

Sheer textures are revealing in all the right places.

Here the sheer top and the ankle length skinny's paired with strappy heels are the perfect relaxed yet chic combo!

   

Hope you enjoyed my attempt to lift your winter spirits. Get inspired and experiment with sheer luminosity! I'm serious...it will take a weight off your day.
