The best fashion statement:

There's something everyone can do to look their best, no matter what they're wearing, no matter the body shape or size.
It's wearing clothes that fit.
It doesn't matter if you're a size 00 or a size 18; no one can read the labels on the insides of your jeans or shirts!
No one is going to look at you, size you up with their eyes and go, "Huh, they're a size 12!"
However, people can look at you and think, "Oh, their jeans don't fit."
Everyone wants to look and feel good, there's no doubt about it.
Some days I'll get dressed and just hate what I'm wearing.  I don't feel good about how I look, I don't feel comfortable.  My jeans are too tight or too loose, my shirt is too short, whatever it is, I'm uncomfortable.
The best fashion advice I can ever give you is to try on everything, and buy the size that fits.  And don't be upset about what the size is.
I'll be straight up honest with you.
I'm currently wearing a size nine pair of jeans, and they're comfortably snug.  A few months ago, I was in a size thirteen.  I'm not ashamed to say it.  I'd rather wear a size thirteen than a size 9 when I ought to wear a thirteen.    Because at least I'll be comfortable.
As a society, we need to stop squeezing into the smallest size we possibly can, and put on a shirt that fits!
No one can read the label of the clothes you're wearing.

No scales and all smiles,

My favourite Winter Fashion Trend

Sweater-Shorts-Knee/Thigh Highs-Ankle boots.
I am absolutely in love with this look.

So cute, right?
Now pair it with a favourite warm jacket, and you're set!  It's different than the ho-hum of jeans, and a little more sexy and playful than full on tights or leggings.
Where to get this look?
I recommend Target, you can get a pair of over-the-knee socks for $5.  You might be able to find a pair of shorts you like, I'm not sure if they have them out yet; I would recommend pulling out a looser fitting pair from the summer, or check online at Charlotte Russe or Forever 21.
I got the cutest pair of ankle boots from Ross for about $12, and wet seal always has a good deal on shoes.
Next time you can't figure out what to wear, and it's not freezing outside, give this look a try!
