And our plush picks are...
Hello, gorgeous! This airy top comes pre-accessorized to take all the guesswork outta gettin’ dressed. Skinny pants and bold heels are a must. Make it extra edgy with leather fingerless gloves.

A velvet tunic puts a dressy spin on a your daily leggings ‘n’ ballet flats combo. Wear it with a long cardi and a belt for chilly days.

Give your basic black leggings a makeover. These look presh under voluminous skirts and fitted tees. Or, stand out by wearing ’em under an oversized graphic t-shirt and bold Doc Martens.


Velvet Ankle Length Legging, $28, ardenb.com

Give your blazer a boost! A bloomin’ floral pin updates any jacket or sweater in two seconds. Great for days when you just need a little something to jazz up a look.

OK, so this hat only has the tiniest bit of velvet but teamed up with the floral design it gives a fedora some feminine flair. Fab for days when your outfit is totally borrowed from the boys (think: BF blazer and skinnies) or when you just have to hide your hair (cutely!).
 
Lace Fedora, $17, wetseal.com

Jewel-toned headbands are the perfect add-on for a metallic dress at the winter semi or with a dark floral fall frock (worn under a cocoon cardigan, of course). We heart how this one has a bit of sparkle in the bow!
