So you want to rock the latest winter fashions yet your bank account doesn’t justify you heading over to Nordstrom’s and Sak’s for the latest fashions!  Don’t worry, your Boss look won’t suffer. Just put these looks on your Christmas wish list and give it to your beau!

We’re bringing last year’s winter fashions back to accentuate your look with the same high-end quality fashions that you put away at the end of last winter.  After all, we don’t want to kill your budget!

Leopard prints, military style jackets and animal prints are back and bigger than ever.  You’ll defiantly have all eyes on you with your new look.   To help me out, I spoke with Candance Pilgram-Simmon, Owner and Fashion Stylist of All That & More of Culver City, CA.  She stated “women will want to mix and match different fashion trends to personalize their look.  Add jewelry, a belt, color, and layering to create their style.  If they must make a purchase, then ensure it’s something of high quality that will last and come back in season.”

The prints have been brought back by designers renewing the statement that prints bring out the wilder side in women and calling for boots with no showing of skin in freezing weather.  Leopard and animal prints is seen in many fashions this winter from dresses to handbags and other accessories.

When you know the importance of accessories, you don’t mind walking on the wild side. Calf hair leopard print belt, black calf hair clutch/wristlet, and red calf hair business card holder/key ring wallet can complete any outfit.  It’s time to accessorize!
