Markdown Mondays: Statement Pieces for the Winter Blues

Markdown Mondays Blog Post Shopping Discounts

Markdown Mondays Collage 011816

In addition to LMK Day, today is apparently a newly-recognized “holiday” called “Blue Monday” – which is statistically considered the most depressing day of the year, with the reality of excessive holiday shopping (resulting in expensive credit card bills), shorter daylight days and cold weather settling in. This is darkened further by the weight of New Year’s resolutions making it ever more difficult to stay positive & hopeful.

This is when I think it becomes even more important to use fashion and style to perk up your mood and add a spark of creativity and inspiration to your look & surroundings.

Today’s  #MarkdownMondays is focused on “statement pieces” – items that will brighten up your outfit, making it more interesting with colors, textures and details – to add a positive note to your day.

The style digest comes with a dose of social responsibility (beautiful faux fur coat from Ann Taylor), embellished details on classics (Kate Spade sweater), pop of intense color (stadium cloth coat from JCrew), a stunning dress (red pleated maxi from Anthropologie) and warmth for your feet (oh so important – shearling-lined booties by Michael Kors from Bloomingdales).

Please check out all the shopping details below.

Have any special secrets for curing the winter blues? Would love to know in the comments below!

Enjoy – Happy Styling!
