A cold, windy whip of air blowing through the city brings a desire for new wardrobe items and must have fashion fixes. Just think how an exclamation mark can change the tone and feeling of a sentence. Punctuations can be found in garments using lines and colors to create visual interest. What the eye is drawn to is the grand finale; it’s a chance to make a great first impression.

This season brings bold colors to the fashion scene featuring color-blocked graphic knits and sculptural accessories that are being compared to works of contemporary art. The abstract geometric forms are strong, the lines are bold, and they catch the eye with punctuations of color. Simply, it is called color blocking and is uber stylish.

Pair this honey of a sweater with existing garments in your closet to catapult you right into the fashion spotlight. Tones of colors are numerous and it’s important to know the hues that showcase your best features. An ultimate or complimentary color next to your face will soften the abstract lines and bring out your radiance.  

You’ll be turning heads as you sit all warm and cozy answering emails and sipping a cup of apple cider.

Can you hear the crooner Dean Martin singing, “Baby its Cold Outside?”
