Natural Hair!

Having barely shoulder-length hair, I usually opt for blow-drying, product-adding, straightening, curling, the works. Basically, I'm drying out my hair to bits. So this spring, I'm going for a more natural, wavy (and slightly messy) hairstyle. Every once in a while, I have to grab the straightener to tidy up a few crazy strands, but this look definitely requires less heat damage. Many use leave in conditioners and sprays to get a more wavy look, but those tend to make my hair appear slightly greasy, so I usually end up going all natural. If some days I wake up and my hair is absolutely ridiculous, I just grab a few bobby pins and a hair-tie and throw it into a messy bun. One can never go wrong with a messy bun! 

Scarves!

Being one of my favorite accessories of the winter season, scarves both complete an outfit and keep you nice and toasty during a snow fall. If the region that you live in happens to have warm weather, such as my homeland of sunny California, then one could opt for a light fabric handkerchief rather than a toasty knit scarf. Scarves are always a fun accessory because they can be worn in so many ways, making getting dressed a fun game. I usually go for a chunky knitted sweater made by my father's mother, "Grammy", the maker of each piece in my collection of knitted wear. 

Hats!

                                                 

They're the perfect accessory to warm up on a cold chilly night or even just to add that extra flare to an outfit. Oversized knit hats are my personal favorite (wearing one currently), but I also like the look of a simple bowler or faux fur trapper hat. Outfits don't have to be downplayed to wear these hats, which is always a bonus. 

High-waisted pants!

     

High waisted pants are definitely one of the more daring articles of clothing fashion wise (this goes for harem pants especially - namely the ones with the extremely low crotch). High-waisted pants create instant long legs, extending the waistline up quite a few inches. With the billowing upper portion of the harem pants, the most chic look is created with a very slim-fitted top and heels. Of course, that is not required to create a fashionable outfit. Many opt for a more casual look, choosing say moccasins to replace the stilettos and a tee shirt instead of the cami. 

Nanananananana Batsleeves!

 

The sense that I've got about Bat-sleeved shirts is that you either love them or you hate them, just like harem pants. I personally love these unique, low armpit blouses as they are a unique, casual approach to a plain tee shirt. At the moment I am wearing a bat-sleeved baseball-style tee shirt - just to accentuate my love for these shirts. Rather than grabbing the cozy baggy tee, I prefer getting this more fashionable choice.
