7 Tips for Fall Layering

            Layering can be tricky, but here are 7 everyday easy ideas that you can use to layer your outfit to perfection! Also, try buying at stores like Target, Forever 21, Garage, H&M or even Walmart for the same looks, but on a more frugal budget! I buy almost all of my clothes on sale or at cheaper stores. Why spend $100 on a top, when you can get the same look, for $20? Enjoy!

# 1 - Scarves
           Choose scarves with different colours, textures and shapes. You can easily wrap them around your neck once and it will instantly make your outfit more interesting!

See an example here: http://freckledstyleandbeauty.blogspot.ca/2013/10/boots-belts-and-bags.html









 



#2 - Belts
          Add a belt around your waist or your hips to add some colour and break up your outfit into sections. Visually it's very interesting to look at!

# 3 - Blazers
        Super easy for fall, pull on a comfy blazer for a more casual look, or a more business one for work. Blazers are great for warmth, and also for a smart and sophisticated look!

# 4 - Cardigans
       I'm a teacher, so naturally I love cardigans! Try different colours, stripes, or even polka dots if your so inclined! Either way, a cardigan is one of the easiest way to layer up your clothing.

See an example here: http://freckledstyleandbeauty.blogspot.ca/2013/10/comfy-work-wear.html










 

# 5 Shirt Dresses
        Super long shirts that can be used as a dress are also an interesting way to layer. Make sure you add some leggings though...be a lady! When leggings and long shirts are put together, it can make a chic look!

See an example here: http://freckledstyleandbeauty.blogspot.ca/2013/10/comfy-fall-outfit.html

# 6 Statement Necklaces
       Chunky necklaces can easily complete an outfit. My favourites are bright colours, and interesting shapes. Get 2-4 necklaces that can be used on different outfits and it'll be super easy to accessorize and layer your outfit.

See an example here: http://freckledstyleandbeauty.blogspot.ca/2013/10/little-red-riding-hood.html

# 7 Long Tanks
        If you wear a long tank as a base layer, and put another shirt or sweater overtop, the extra colour will pop through on top and/or on the bottom. If you use contrasting colours, the look is very visually pleasing. Again, a super easy way to stay warm this fall... and look great!

Bonus!
I'll go into more complex layering ideas (design, texture, pattern ect) later, but try this somewhat more complicated Bonus Tip!

 
# 8 A blouse and sweater
        This can be a bit tricky to pull off, but if you get the length and colours right, this layering technique looks great! An easy way to do this is get a button up work shirt that's a neutral colour, and put a colourful sweater overtop.

The Magic of Belts

I loved this outfit because there's nothing better then a big chunky sweater and some jeans! I added a belt to give me some shape and a waist, a long leaf necklace to breakup the monotony of a plain black tank and then a fun pair of heels to finish the look. I feel without adding the belt, this outfit could be too relaxed for where I was going, so with most outfits, if you find the right belt, it just adds a little something extra to class up what you're wearing!

Look on the Lighter Side of Fall Fashion

   I don't think that all Fall fashion needs to be filled completely with dark colours. I paired a white jean, rose coloured tank and a denim blue blazer today and loved the look! Of course I added a pop of colour from my fav necklace!

Layering for colder days ahead

I always seem to get cold, and my goal this year is to learn how to layer!  Get a neutral or white undershirt and slap on a comfy sweater over top...just let the undershirt pop through! By using a neutral colour and brighter one, it'll help balance the outfit by not making it too busy. The trick for layering is try mixing one print with a solid, or a bright colour with a neutral. Always balance it!
