Be… Inspired

• Splash of colour – Who says winter has to be dull? Pull a bold colored scarf from your closet to bring life to a black or white jacket.
• Match your outwear accessories – as cliché as it sounds, matching accessories can bring together a look, and give the outfit a little something extra
• Invest in a warm winter hat – one that keeps you warm but looks fashionable at the same time.
