Style Guide: Minor Metallics
Hey ladies! It's Anna again from Fash Boulevard. I've always been drawn to garments that have a little extra shine, and waiting until New Years to embrace a serious metallic moment almost seems cruel. Thankfully, the Fall 2013 runways were glittered with everything from iridescent pieces to metallic brocade prints.
When it comes to styling, I love the challenge of keeping a metallic look from appearing too flashy or over-the-top. The line between elegant chic and futuristic freak can be super thin when wearing glitzy metallic garments. Sticking with traditional everyday pieces, such as shorts or a pencil skirt, is a great way to take your fall wardrobe up a notch. Even just a hint of sheen, like a mani in shades of gold, makes for an exceptional addition and can leave a lasting impression.
Take a peek below to see some of the ways I am styling my favorite metallic pieces this fall…
Metallic Bottoms
A gleaming statement skirt shines best when married with a simple tee or basic top. I prefer skirts or shorts with metallic accents, which provide a subtler nod to the trend while staying equally noteworthy.
1. alice + olivia shorts, $198
2. j.crew capri, $178
3. kate spade skirt, $170.99
Metallic Accessories
Any time I can incorporate a trend into accessories, I instantly become a million times more addicted to said trend. Plus, styling is almost a no brainer with this one. Not only does a gold handbag and pointed pumps go with just about anything, but who doesn't have a few silver and gold accessories laying around?
top - paper crown, undershirt - lc lauren conrad, scarf – target, pants - so via kohl's, boots - pink and pepper
1. sara designs wrap watch, $196
2. tory burch flat, $235

Metallic Outerwear
blazer - rachel roy, shorts - gianni bini, top - cremieux, heels – spiegel
We spend the majority of winter bundled up in jackets and blazers, which makes outerwear an essential style piece. Instantly take your look to next-level-chic by replacing your neutral outerwear with an eye-catching metallic jacket. The extra layer of fab will give your outfit the perfect shimmering finish.
