Style Summary: February

Among other new changes, February marks the first installment of Style Summary, a look back at the best outfits of fellow bloggers during the last month. These ladies rocked everything from neon pink pants to lucite heels, ankle-length skirts to high-top sneaks and nailed it. So here it is, kids, the top looks from the month of February that really deserve a second look. Well done ladies! Already making notes for March!

 Aptly named "A Little Bit of Audrey", this look is still fantastically modern and is all about classic pieces and great accessories in an attention-demanding red.

 This amazing ASOS skirt is just architectural genius, managing to exude femininity without wandering into cutesy territory. Win.

 Winter tends to bring out two sides of my closet: knockout evening ensembles or super comfy loungewear. This Glamourai post struck me as the perfect middle ground for girls everywhere.

 I love the East Coat but living in Southern California has its benefits. Cue this pinky pairing. While it's months too soon in PHL, the color combo is perfect for Spring and was so appropriate for Valentine's Day.

 My faux fur vest has been an indispensable part of my winter wardrobe. So when I saw this C&C post, it was instant inspiration for how to transition my vest as the weather warms up.

 I can distinctly remember a trip to the mall with a girlfriend years ago, she was on a mission to try out a new trend: skinny jeans. My first thought was how ridiculous these pants were and that they were a fleeting fashion. Many, many...many years later, after altering numerous pairs of bootcut jeans into skinnies, I am definitely eating my words. While skinnies are now my definite go-to style, seeing Brooklyn Blonde in this great flared pair is a refreshing reminder of the style's flattering fit and fun silhouette.

 Textured layers in a neutral palette rely on pattern to create an outfit that is outstanding and anything but ordinary.

Props to Krystal from This Time Tomorrow who managed to style lucite-heeled shoes with a sweater over pleated dress into a chic daytime look while managing to avoid either cliche.

Easily my absolute favorite February look. One of the best examples I've seen for why well-tailored, quality separates are so important in every girl's wardrobe. It's also perfect evidence of the impact the proper pop of color in just the right place has in creating a truly stunning ensemble.

   

 Chiara from The Blonde Salad is a bilingual blogger with a luxe, eclectic aesthetic who has the ability to create unconventional looks that rock. Case in point: sporting Isabel Marant sneaks and a plush faux fur jacket. Bravissima, signorina Chiara!

 Color is clearly coming and in a very big way. However, given the still present chill in the air, I'm not quite ready to embrace the vibrant hues I usually associate with summer. Happily, just like Spring Daffodils, pastels are popping up everywhere. 

 During high school, I went through a pink phase, a very pink phase.  I had it all: hats to shoes and everything in between in every shade imaginable. After years of pink detox, I have rediscovered my love of this rosy shade especially when paired with grays.

 Preppy, pretty, thin, or wide: I am a girl that loves her stripes. Most stripes tend to lend a casual vibe but these stripes are dressy enough for a date night dinner. 

 This abstract jacket could easily have been worn over a khaki sheath or white sundress but it's the striped dress underneath that makes this such a dynamic duo. 

 There's just something about a girl in a dress and heels with a leather jacket thrown over her shoulders that exudes a girlie glam that always works for me. 

 The chameleonic Chiara strikes again in this twist on classic uptown chic. Her fierce footwear and clutch amp up her otherwise soft and muted ensemble.

 I am extremely particular about polka dots. That's why this post by Atlantic-Pacific made the cut. The polka dots aren't overly attention-grabbing and add just enough interest when coupled with the wide stripes.

 Just a singularly unique jacket (made from the same material as a scuba suit!) paired with amazing shoes. I love that while the jacket is the center of attention, she chose footwear that also makes a statement instead of just opting for plain black sandals.

 The slightness of the mint dress and the gorgeous snakeskin booties create such an effortless coolkid vibe. 

 Sweaters and skirts are a tricky combo to pull off. As you can see, Aimee Song of Song of Style manages to do just that with great color and pattern!

 Leopard, white jeans, and ripped denim, need I saw more? 

 February saw the rise of the floral skinny and Aimee did it best. Pairing it with a geometric clutch and heels, she nails it.

And last but certainly not least, the fiercest look of the month brought to you by The Glamourai. In head to toe snakeskin print, you can be Jane of the (urban) jungle.
