Keep It Layered

 

Our temperatures are now dropping to below zero at night and I am seeing flurries in the local forecast every other day, here are some great tips for layering it up to keep you warm.

I am sure that some of you are afraid to layer up your clothes just from the fact that you may look bigger than you truly are, but if you have tried layering and have pulled the look off, you know that you couldn't have been more wrong! I love layering and have mastered the look and found my favorite pieces from American Eagle Outfitters, Forever 21, Buffalo David Bitton, Bliss Boutique, H&M, Miss Bliss Boutique & Amelia Lee Boutique! A correctly layered outfit will not only compliment the curves that you may have, but the look will still create the illusion of a more proportioned silhouette.

Using blazers as a layering piece is a great way to keep cozy without adding too much bulk!

This look is from Lark & Sparrow Boutique located in Cook Street Village.

5 Steps to a Perfectly Layered Outfit

Start with a basic, lightweight top. I suggest a solid, something neutral, or striped.
Add another layer such as a soft cardigan or sweater. If you’re into color, this can be a great opportunity to mix in a bold pullover to give your outfit more intrigue and depth.
Then add a jacket or coat. Again, I suggest a basic color: camel, black, navy, or even olive green.
Next, add a scarf. It’s like the frosting on a cupcake. A must!
Sprinkle on your accessories (bracelets, rings, watches).
