How to Layer Your Looks

Hello! Do you believe the month is coming to an end? I am so not ready for summer to be over, but I am ready for fall fashion. There’s just something about sweaters and boots that gets me all excited inside! Today I am sharing some of my favorite, so-called “everyday” looks! I like to stick to the phrase casual, comfy and sometimes cute over here! I love anything versatile and try to layer as much as I can to get use out of each article of clothing! If you are just joining me, I have a major crush on tees and jeans and I am a total addict for some good old shoes! If you are wondering how to get the most out of your closets, keep reading! I am here to share how I layer my looks and my most versatile pieces to help get your closet ready for the season on any budget. If you have to budget more right now, that is ok , we have all been there! I like to stick to basics and that way I can layer them over and over and add in pops of color as needed. This I tend to do with accessories or a random colorful top or layering piece! Here’s an example of how I wore one cardigan a few different ways!

Some of my favorites for this season:

If you haven’t already seen, cardigans and boots are on the forefront for fall. I am going to share some of my must haves and how to also bring all those fun kimonos right into fall as well! Get some basic tees and denim, and layer the crap out of them with jackets, sweaters, cardigans and vests! Pull out that old denim jacket and cut the sleeves off if you have too! After all, raw edge hems are in! I am telling you , looks can be achieved on any budget! I have done it all. There is no right or wrong and today, just about anything goes!

I am going to share some of my basics or the foundation to layering any outfit. I wear most of these all year-long, and throw any jacket or accent piece right over to change it up or make it versatile! I believe these are key to any closet and everyone needs some good foundations to start. Keep in mind these can be worn all year-long and over and over again. Take a basic tee and tuck it in or tie it up to change it up! You can wear one top numerous ways.

Basics are the foundation to any outfit! Here’s what I am wearing:

Jackets and Vests are Next. Some of mine are years old and they generally always stay in style. Think denim jackets, a leather jacket, and some sort of vest will carry you throughout any season. Any of these can be worn with a tee, a blouse or even a dress! When in doubt throw a jacket or vest on and off you go! These are super easy to keep in the car for after work if headed out! Also easy to pack on any trip or wear on a plane to have it as an added accessory piece for your next destination.

Jackets and Vests:

Keep in mind these pieces can be very versatile. Throw them over a simple black dress, with shorts or even your basic denim. They go with just about everything!

Those are some of my favorites for layering. I also love to throw in some scarves for a pop of color here and there, and again this can be done on any budget. You can wear all of these pieces a ton of ways and I hope my photos helped show some inspiration. I also wear the same tees over and over and with all of the above items! It is ok to pair casual with dressy and vise versa. Throw a suede moto jacket over a dress to dress it down, or a vest to make it more work appropriate and take it off after work.

Scarves:

Kimono Crush:

The key to styling any outfit for me is layering! I love to layer and layer. Don’t be afraid to try something new! I even pulled out an old denim vest and wore it on repeat all summer long!

Let me know your favorites for versatility and what you are loving! And for those of you who have already gotten some of these basics, leave some love below for your fellow readers so they know just how much you love a look or essential piece!
