Loving layers right now here in Louisville, KY.  It's freezing outside! But I do have to admit...I love to layer.  Keeping my colors and patterns similar, I love to play with textures.  My fav texture at this point is Tweed.  I love putting a silky top or even t-shirt with a statement necklace under my favorite tweed jacket.  I always get a compliment on it and it always looks polished.

One thing I have learned about layering is that a simple up-do usually looks best. Right now I have just-below collar bone length hair and it always gets tied up in the heftier layers.  My favorite up-do being, of course, a messy bun. :)

Another favorite is this huge comfy sweater I scored at TJ Maxx for $10!  Under that I put on my $5 Henley from Target, add a simple piece of jewelry and BAM! Happy Friday to me.

P.s.  Harlen loves to layer too... Fur coat under thick sweater. puppy.swag.

What are your Favorite layering pieces?

Camel + apple

 

Winter is usually when you break out all of those dark neutral colors...black, navy, dark brown, grey... you know what I'm talking about!

Here is a great way to spice up wardrobe with just 2 key pieces that you can wear year round!

Camel is a great color to add to your collection! It's not white; it's not brown and looks great on nearly everyone’s skin tone....

Plus, paring it with a brighter color like the pants will keep the brighter color more demure.

Now about those bright pants! A colored pant is a great add to your wardrobe! They are trendy, come in a ton of different styles and fits...and can be dressed up or dressed down depending on where you wear them...

Keep to a more muted color for the fall and winter seasons and brighter for the warmer seasons.

 

 

 

1.  Letting your hair have a couple days off from the shower is a good thing! Use your hairs natural texture to create fun and easy updos, like this ballerina bun!

 

2. Camel is a huge hit for the winter months! Putting a classic color like Camel with the classic cut of a blazer and you're tres chic!

 

3. Thirdly, (oh no, here comes the mommy moment!) With a career, husband and kids, plus after school activities, dinner, family and friends...heels, just don't make my list on a daily basis...but low wedges are perfect for the comfort and support you need during your day but keep your outfit well put together and on trend.

Weekend go-to

My usual fall weekend consists of kids birthday parties, sporting events, dinner with the family, running errands, ect... You know, busy Mom, always has project going and one in the pipline... So in the fall, my trench coat is my best friend! I have one in black and a cropped khaki. So whether I pair it with flares and a striped sweater, or with skinnies and flats, it always looks pulled together and classic!

As you also might notice in the outfit below is some yummy perfum... I love perfum! Nothing makes you feel more feminine than smelling like amazing! A one second spritz makes my day a million times better and always puts a smile on my face. :)

Grey on Grey

Grey on Grey... This is my favorite look for Fall, its effortless, chic and comfy! I love my sweaters during the colder months. ( I live in Louisville, KY, so it's not THAT cold) But keeping the colors similar and creating texture with accessories is always chic and on-trend. :)

  It's also unexpected! I love any neutral on neutral style...white on white, black on black, ect... here is a look I created and can't wait to recreate!
