I know it's only December 5th but I am already thinking of how 2018 will be a fresh start, at work, life and mostly -- style.  So here's what I think you all should try next year!

1. White Shoes; not just sneakers.  This trend looks retro yet fresh, and booties, slides and heels in white have been seen on some of my favorite Influencers and celebrities alike - like @somethingnavy's Arielle Charnas and Katie Sands from @honestlykate.

2. Monochrome; red and red, blue and blue  --> sounds pretty easy but this looks can seem daunting to some, so another option would be different shades of the same color, especially red with pink - still love this combo!  Of course, Cara looks incredible in her all-red get up.

3. Colored Faux Fur; OK so we might not have much time left to wear fur, unless you also live in Chicago and in that case we've got like 5 more months.  But regardless let's quit the notion that fur is for old-fashioned or super fancy nights out.. and break it out!

4. Metallics; I have been channeling my inner 8th grader thanks to Birchbox sending me a metallic glittery gold eye shadow a few months ago and not gonna lie -- I am loving it.  Metallic loafers and sneakers have also found a way into the closet and this look isn't going anywhere!

5. Pleated Skirts in a casual way; It might just be me but pleats always seemed dressy, preppy, reserved, etc.  Lately I have been loving the baggy sweater/sweatshirt + structured skirt + combat boots or sneaks - such a comfortable way to be trendy and look pulled together.

Can't wait to hear what other trends you are going to try in the new year - comment below!
