Dreaming of Velvet

Velvet has become HUGE this season!
As a kid, I hated when my mum would make wear a velvet dress on the holidays! (She even put velvet bows in my hair)
However as I've seen more and more velvet this fall/winter it has really been growing on me! Velvet dresses, leggings, pants, shoes, and much much more have been hitting the retail shelves like crazy this season! I can't say I'm even a little bit upset about it! 
One of my favorite looks is patterns made of velvet, and a close second to patterns is crushed velvet! 
It shines in a way that nothing else can!
My personal favorite colors for velvet are black, red, and deep greens!

Don't be scared to wear velvet, it doesn't bite! Just remember, keep it to one velvet piece and don't be afraid to mix textures here, most velvet isn't too bold to mix with other textures and patterns! 

When it comes to jewelry with velvet I prefer a gold or an oxidized metal; gold adds a timeless look to the velvet, while an oxidized metal will give it a more edgy look!


Love Always,
