#wear this not that
Kill the sundress and make room for jungle fashion
Floral patterns in fashion can either be a beautiful spectacle or an excruciating experience. For this season, you can channel your sartorial ode to flowers by participating in a floral revolution. Enter the jungle of tropical spring fashion where floral surrealism and visual overloads of flora and fauna are rampant. Whether you pair it with a neutral solid or an equally color bursting top, a great sartorial remix is waiting to happen. From tropical shirts with leopards and leaves to a botanically dazzling pair of trousers, this spring can leave you in an Amazon wanderlust. Look below for a jungle collage filled with budget friendly jungle picks for less than $100. more 
Pull yourself out of combat (boots)
The combat lace-up boot once screamed edgy, cool and unassuming. But the message becomes dull when every single pair of legs you bump into is yelling it at full volume. This offender is winter’s version of summer’s gladiator sandal – Limited Too probably has a version of it, which means it’s time to move on. On your hunt for the next best grungy thing, shop for shoes as you would for denim. Pay attention to the details – the overall shape, accessories and proportion – and most importantly, have fun while looking for a pair with a good combination of all three characteristics that personally speaks to you. Be sure to keep in mind that shoes are another opportunity to take a risk. Don’t let the plethora of designs out there go to waste; take full advantage of them. The next time you reach for a pair of boots they’d better be made for gawking. (See what I did there?) See what we’re talking about after the jump. more
Invite yourself to a pants party
Leggings as pants were only okay when we were toddlers. Back then, the camel toe wasn’t so disturbing, and panty/diaper lines were excused. “But they’re comfortable!” is no justification for sporting the I’m-ready-for-a-play-date look. There are plenty of comfortable second-skin jeans out there, and why not take advantage of the printed denim trend? So unless you’re wearing a top that falls below your derrière, keep your real pants on. Meet the alternatives, after the jump. more
Don’t become a casualty of the war on UGGs
Love the feeling of your cozy UGGs but hate looking like you’re wearing slippers? Class up your wardrobe this winter with some subtle shearling. Embrace the combat trend or opt for a classic black leather boot. These alternatives all share one secret: every pair is lined with shearling, but no one has to know. Check out the worthy alternatives after the jump. more
Make time for a new, not quite Michael Kors watch
That awkward moment when: you raise your hand in class and realize half of the wrists in the air are adorned with your oversized, gold Michael Kors watch. So it looks like it’s time for a change. Embrace the neon trend with a piece that will pop all winter or go for a wrap watch that will really make a statement. Layer on some bracelets and you’re good to go. You’ll never have to hide your wrists in shame again. more
