1. Leopard Prints – Leopard prints are bold, daring, fun and totally on trend! From sunglasses, shoes and skirts to jackets, pants and accessories, you can find just about anything in crazy leopard prints! They are quite an eye-catching pattern so you should try to match them with more subtle classic colors like white or black. If you’re looking for something fun and unique, leopard prints are the way to go!

2. Oversized Sweaters – They are the warmest, fuzziest and the most comfortable things you will ever wear. It’s such a magical moment when utility meets fashion. Oversized sweaters are so cute with leggings, skinny jeans of any color, shorts and skirts. They are also great in bringing out the vintage and hipster in you! I mean who actually hasn’t secretly tried being a hipster at least once in their lives? Well now’s a great opportunity. Especially with this freezing Pittsburgh weather it’s time to bring on the warmth and comfort!

3. Big Prints – Starting last spring, prints have become a huge fashion trend. From animal and flower prints to graphic prints, you can find just about anything with huge, vibrant patterns. Prints are fun and easy to work with. Once you wear a top with busy flower patterns, you can match with just about any basic colored bottoms. Big prints and patterns are also the easiest way to show off your own unique styles and personalities!

4. Metallic Fabrics – Silver and gold outfits are so in now! Metallic fabrics give you a glossy and trendy look, and they are perfect for nights out. Their shimmery materials make you stand out and look sexier than ever! If you’re looking for a fun outfit that you know will grab everyone’s attention then you’re definitely in the mood for some metallic textures and colors!

5. Maxi skirts – Who said mini skirts are the only skirts that can show off your legs and make you feel sexy? Now mini’s are so out and maxi’s are so in! Maxi skirts have been trendy for the past two years. They are classy, stylish and so comfortable! You don’t need to worry about flashing anyone and they actually make your legs look much longer. Just make sure they’re not so long that you’re tripping over yourself and sweeping the entire floor. But other than that what’s not to like about them?

I am a junior Materials Science and Engineering mjaor at Carnegie Mellon University, and I am also minoring in Professional Writing and Business. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.  I love TV and trying out new beauty products.  I follow E! on Twitter so that I can stay up-to-date on celebrity news.  I'm royal-obsessed, and I love Kate Middleton's style.  I'm kind of a Sephora addict, and I could easily spend hours there.  I also spend way too much time on Pinterest.  Finally, I love hockey and all Pittsburgh sports.
