Who says fashion trends have to begin on the catwalk when closet inspiration can come from none other than your own kitchen? These doughnuts are as delicious to the eye as they are to the mouth, which means they could teach us a thing or two about color schemes and haute couture. Glazed, sprinkled, dipped and frosted, these sugary desserts have quite a *taste* for attractive appearances. Watch out, Vogue: there’s a hot, new expert in town – fresh from the deep fryer – full of fashion advice (and possibly jam)!

1. Never underestimate the power of quality beadwork.


 

2. Pastels are timeless for a reason.

6. Layers are a major yes, especially in the cold seasons.


 

7. It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.


 

8. A monochromatic color scheme creates instant class in any wardrobe.


 

9. Stripes are popular because of their clean and simple appearance, as well as their slimming effect.


 

10. The minimalist has a way of stealing the spotlight.

12. Dark on dark is the new black.


 

13.  Mix and match items in your closet to create new outfits.


 

14. Add an accessory to turn your whole look around!

Happy styling, collegiettes!
