I know what you’re thinking. “Who in her right mind wears velvet in the summer?”. Well, I am about to challenge you to do just that. I’m not encouraging you to step out in the sweltering heat in a head-to-toe velvet suit. I am, however, saying that a velvet accent here and there could be a nice refresher to your summer wardrobe. On top of that, I can almost guarantee you that no one else will be experimenting with this velvet trend just yet, so you will definitely be ahead of the pack. Here is a list of my favorite velvet pieces that you can purchase right now!
