Slip Into Fall

I love the look of a slip dress layered over a turtleneck for fall and winter. It's the perfect way to make your favorite dresses wearable all year round. And it makes a great look for any upcoming holiday parties too!

Blue Velvet

Going into the fall I knew I wanted a lot of velvet in my wardrobe. And more specifically, I knew I wanted a pair of blue velvet booties. Finding them at an affordable price point was a challenge, but I finally found these French Connection boots, which I am completely in love with. When I wear them I typically like to let them be the star of my look, so for this outfit I paired them with a simple black dress layered over a black long sleeve tee with white stitching. 

Lace Layers

Just as a turtleneck was a key layering piece all winter, a lace top can easily be layered with all your favorite pieces all spring. I love the idea of a little bit of lace just peeking out from underneath a sweater, it adds a subtle femininity and added interest to any outfit. As the weather gets warmer this same top can be paired with your favorite dresses too. If you want to give this look a try I highly suggest the Free People top I'm wearing (linked above), it comes in a variety of colors and it's at a good price point. And trust me when I say I spent many days searching for the perfect lace top online and this was the clear winner. 

Navy & Grey

Well it's officially time for the dead of the winter blues, literally. And with yet another snow storm yesterday, I am so ready for the sun to come back. Unfortunately, the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter, so digging through my closet for more items to layer it is. This outfit was kind of a happy accident. I (re)found this tee in the back of my closet and knew I wanted to wear it. Not wanting to go the easy route and just through on a jacket, I decided to throw on a turtleneck instead. And navy blue and grey is always a winning combo in my book.

Something Old

This sweater dress is one of those items in my closet that I absolutely love, but for some reason it doesn't get much wear. However, it jumped out at me immediately when I was looking through my closet thinking, "I have nothing to wear," as I often do. So, I decided to take it out and try to do something new with it. Which, of course, meant some sort of layering. In this case I threw this really pretty wine-colored turtleneck on with some tights and my favorite pair of booties. And, there you have it. I also included this picture of my dopey little dogs just cause they are pretty freaking adorable, don't you agree?

Double Down

Winter is all about layering, however, I wanted to try something new. We've seen layering a button down with a sweater plenty of times. But what about layering a button down with another button down? It was kind of just this idea I had in my head for a while and I decided to give it a try. And I must say I love it. I think it works well because of how different the two shirts are though. The crispness of the white shirt against the laid-back nature of the denim shirt adds a fun contrast. And since it was sunny out on Saturday, instead of an impending snow storm as it is now, I got to roll up my sleeves. 

Snow Day

I love snow. I know I've been complaining about the cold weather lately, but I really do love winter. I couldn't imagine ever living anywhere where you can't experience all four seasons. And with cold weather comes the fun of winter fashion, or basically throwing on as many pieces of clothing as possible but making it look like it's all done on purpose. So what better than a super cozy sweater complete with zipper details on the back and on the cuffs? Add a plaid blouse underneath for extra warmth, and of course because it looks good as well. Then jeans, boots, done. 

Lessons In Layering

With this ridiculously cold weather comes the need to bundle up. And what better way to stay warm than to pile on layers and layers of clothing. I'm talking layers of blouses, button-downs, sweaters, coats, hats, basically anything in your closet. Because it is seriously cold outside. I decided to wear this awesome sweater with an awesome quilted texture, and since I realized I hadn't worn plaid in a few days, I added a plaid tank underneath. And obviously in real life there would be a nice warm coat too, and probably some gloves, and a hat, and a scarf..

A Whole New Look

While I try to show you new clothing every time I post, it's just not possible. As much as I'd love a magical closet that held a never-ending supply of clothing, I don't have one. Which is why sometimes we have to take things from our closet and reinvent them. And one way to do this is by layering. Take this sweater (which is actually new, not good for my point but oh well), I can wear it as just an easy, cute black sweater, or add a collared shirt underneath (which isn't new, I wore it here). And every time you wear the sweater with a different collared shirt under it, you almost have a whole new look.  

They're Back!

My overalls are back! They were awesome in for spring and now they are perfect for fall too. Just layer a long sleeve shirt, or sweater under them and they are perfect for a fall day. Then when it's a little chillier at night a leather jacket will complete the look. And I am still obsessed with the gold heel on these booties, so so good. 

Jewels On Jewels

These pictures are from a post I wrote for A Scandalously Fabulous Life a few weeks ago, but I thought I'd post them on here as well. The jewelry in these pictures is pretty much my everyday jewelry, give or take a few pieces depending on my mood. I've been really into layering simpler pieces of jewelry. So for me that means stacks of bracelets, some bangles, lots of rings, and 2-3 necklaces. I like how it makes a statement but at the same time it's still a simple more delicate look.
