Layering 101

With winter in full force (for most of us; we had a rather warm weekend), layers are of the utmost importance. To me, there is nothing more annoying than wearing a winter coat, so layering shirts is the best option. 

• Start with a thin blouse. Picking one with a print or an embellishment on the collar will look so cute peeking out from under the layers.
• Add a chunky knit sweater on top, leaving the hem of the blouse peeking out of the bottom. 
• Add a bright blazer. (Make sure your sweater isn't too thick or you won't be able to put on the blazer.)

If bright color in winter isn't your thing, opt for neutral layers. You can always finish off your look with small touches of color in your jewelry or handbag.

• Start with a t-shirt that has a print or texture. It will add dimension to the layers.
• Wrap a scarf around your neck and forgo the necklace. (Or if you really want to accessorize, pick a long necklace that will hit somewhere along the top of your rib cage area. It needs to hang far enough below the scarf.)
• Add a studded button-up shirt and leave it unbuttoned.
• Finish the look with a blazer and make sure that the scarf is centered.

Have a great day!
