National Velvet.

If there is one texture I am most excited about adding to my wardrobe this season, it has to be velvet. And there are just so many good things! An easy way to start is with a simple pair of velvet jeans or skinny pants in black. It feels festive and fun (and is also super soft and cozy). Or, try pairing a pair of dark skinny jeans with a fun velvet shoe. I’ve shown some great shoe options above but my absolute favorites have to be this + this. I also love it in a little dress with embroidery, or a blazer.

Just stick to one velvet piece at a time… anything more feels like overkill (or makes me think of the “Samantha” American Girl doll – anyone remember her? I had Kirsten and my sister had Samantha… I was always jealous of Samantha’s wardrobe!)
