GO RUNWAY TO REALITY!
MONOCHROME BRIGHTS
Sol M. completely embraces one of the biggest trends for this season - bright colored monochrome outfits. The key is to wear colors in the same family, but in slightly different shades, and always pair with some contrasting accessories so it’s not a color overload. Check out the runway looks below that inspired this trend…

GO CUTTING EDGE!
DRESSES OVER PANTS
This risky look only works on very special occasions, but if you follow the lead of Brit style icon Emma Watson and these GO ladies, you may just be able to make it work! Always remember to wear tight straight leg pants, show your natural waistline (with a belt or cropped jacket), and keep the dress above the knee. This definitely looks best with a jacket or sweater, so...

GO MAJOR TREND!
INSERT PRINT HERE…
We really admire how these GO ladies use prints to brighten up their outfits instead of just relying on solids and neutrals. We like how they all anchor their prints with solid basics, and keep bright colors in safe silhouettes to make sure they don’t get overtaken by their busy patterned garments.

CHAIN GANG
Chain strap purses (like the classic Chanel purse) are pretty much a necessity these days for taking your outfit to the next level. Sophie and Hana are two of many GO ladies who throw this bag on for either day or night. Check out some chain strap purses below that you can get your hands on now (or of course you can scavenge ebay for some Chanel of your own)!

HIGHER AND HIGHER
It’s no big news that hemlines have gotten shockingly higher than ever before. Normally, dresses that look like you’re wearing a long shirt and forgot your pants can be very questionable, but these ladies show how to pull off even the skimpiest of dresses…

GO GET ACCESSORIZED!
SILKY PRINTED SCARVES
The most frustrating thing about winter? Doesn’t matter how cute your outfit is, your coat is just going to cover it up! Take a cue from these GO girls and style icon Nicole Richie and add a long silky printed scarf to your outfit to add some color and peak interest in the rest of your ensemble.

GO CONQUER THE DRESSING ROOM!
The other day we discovered that even celebrities can have a hard time getting dressed! Hilarious Modern Family actress and bombshell Sofia Vergara tweeted on 1/12/11:
“Nothing fits meeee!!!! I’m not going to the Golden Globes!!!!!!!!”
.
Of course she made it through this tough time, like we all do, and looked gorgeous at the Golden Globes. But when in a dressing room ...

BASIC BLAZER
We’ve discussed and it decided that if you don’t have a basic blazer in your closet, your wardrobe is incomplete! It can pretty much pull any outfit together and, depending on your body type, you can get a fitted style to accentuate your curves or oversized to streamline your look. If you don’t have one yet, invest in a style with a cute lining so you can roll...

GO CELEBRITY TO REALITY!
CROP TOPS THAT WORK
“Crop Top” can be dangerous words, but any fashion forward girl knows they can be flattering, stylish and super fun. Follow the lead of these celebrities and GO ladies and wear your crop tops with high waisted bottoms so they highlight just above your waist - usually one of the slimmest parts of a woman. Show more midriff if you dare, but only if you really...

GO TRY IT!
DOUBLE LEATHER
Leather can be a girl’s best friend, but sometimes it can get a little too overwhelming and overly “biker chic”. We love how these GO ladies pull off wearing multiple leather pieces but still look feminine because you can still see their silhouette, and they show either a little skin or a girly prints.

GO GET INSPIRED!
WORKING GIRL
There’s always something sexy about a strong high powered woman in command, especially when she lets loose a little, and that’s what these GO ladies do (we like to think they were channeling Melanie Griffith in 1988’s Working Girl). These looks bring elements from daytime into nighttime attire by pairing a classic button up shirt with a tight high-waisted skirt...

SHOW YOUR STRIPES
A little hint of stripes goes a long way, and these GO ladies have the look down. Play with stripe proportion and volume to help achieve the most flattering look - like a tight striped mini skirt with an oversized top, or an oversized striped shirt with skinny jeans.

And the winner is...
Ness A. won our first New Year’s Eve contest, scoring a gift certificate to Charm & Chain and the privilege of looking fantastic ringing in the new year! We think her form fitting dress is extremely flattering because of it textured fabric which is a great update to the simple black dress while sitll keeping it classic and chic all night.
