Editor's Pick of the Week: Texture Tights

By -
In the colder months, I love to layer. I love to wear a soft tee under a cozy sweater with a structured jacket, a crisp skirt, warm tights and leather boots. This layering is mostly an attempt to avoid death by icy Chicago wind. However, it allows me to play with textures, which is an incredibly fun and tactile way to get dressed in the morning. (And something has to entice me to ditch my cozy jammies and robe long enough to put on proper clothing).

These woven tights from Anthropologie provide a heavy dose of texture (and warmth) without being to bulky, busy or overbearing. I can mix these with a print dress, button boots or a chunky sweater without worrying that I've overdone it. They add a sturdy, warm feel without compromising a professional look (like many sweater tights can). I wouldn't usually consider $18 tights, but these just might be worth it. They already have my legs thinking warm thoughts as the cold breath of Jack Frost blows toward us.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
