Double Layer

It’s no secret that I love layering – it’s a skill that I had no choice but to master when we moved from NC to NY, though I admit that it took me a while to figure out the best ways to pile on pieces without adding unnecessary bulk to my frame.  One of the keys is to choose lightweight items with a bit of structure like a sleeveless trench or long vest.  This has quickly become a staple in my closet because you can layer it on top of sweaters, blazers or blouses in the fall and wear it on its own with sleeveless tops & dresses in late spring/early summer.

What I’m wearing:
