Dress in the Color of the Year with StyleWe*

I am one of those women who dress in shades of black, so unsurprisingly, green is not a common color in my closet, let alone such a specific shade as greenery. I literally have four pieces of green clothing in my closet, only two of which I actually wear, so when StyleWe reached out to me to showcase their products, I was immediately drawn to how colorful and vibrant they are, so if you are like me and need to inject some color into your closet, look no further than StyleWe, especially with these gorgeous dresses and coats. If you are brave enough, you can even layer them.

Ruffled Frill Sleeve Casual Crew Neck Mini Dress | $69

Half Sleeve Crew Neck Printed Geometric Casual Midi Dress | $105

Green Lapel Pockets Elegant Solid Wool Blend Coat | $139

Green Checkered/Plaid Crew Neck Coat with Pockets | $82

In line with the theme of vibrant and colorful, StyleWe is also party dress express! They have everything ranging from classy and elegant evening dresses to showstoppingly sexy pieces. If you are in the market for a new Valentine's Day outfit, for example, this is a great place to start, if only for some inspiration. I was browsing the website while planning for this post, and it struck me how well styled the outfits are, so I enjoyed even just clicking around for outfit combinations to try.

Also, StyleWe apparently has a blog that covers topics on fashion, style, beauty, lifestyle, and women power, so inspiration really does abound with posts such as "How to Cut Bangs Hairstyle."

What are your thoughts on the color of the year, greenery?
