Tuesday's Trend: It's All Very Velvet

( Via Neiman Marcus )

If you haven't noticed, the world of fashion is absolutely crushing on velvet this season. Almost every designer at all price levels are showing this luxe fabric from head to toe. After taking myself on this shopping excursion, I am finding velvet very #swoonworthy, too.

HERE: 14 Pretty Picks

If you love this look, you must shop fast as it is almost sold out. I can see why. The outfit is the definition of "more is more!" The jacket would be fab with denim, too.
