Layering Essentials

I have had a few reader questions lately about wardrobe essentials (see posts from last year here & here), so I’m sharing with you today some of my favorite picks for the season.  I’ve arranged them vertically to show how I would layer them in an outfit.  Just add your favorite jeans, cords or leather skinnies + a pair of booties…and you have 3 perfect fall looks!  All the pieces below are easy to mix and match with other basics in your closet, are classics that will never go out of style & are under $70!


1) d.RA  / 2) H&M* / 3) TopShop / 4) J. Crew / 5) Quicksilver / 6) Mango / 7) H&M* / 8) Merona / 9) Forever 21

*For those of you who don’t have H&M stores nearby, here are similar options: chambray shirt & tweed jacket

    Excellent picks! I think that I like to have fun layering really feminine cuts under more modern and severe structured pieces.

    Good morning Kim,

    Thanks for the must have essentials for the season. I can't get enough of the chunky sweaters and I bought 2 tweed jackets. So classic that you can dress it up or down and always look chic.

    It's a shame that we don't have an H&M. The nearest one is 3 hours away! Love these picks! Especially the first top.

    Great layering recommendations! (was just thinking of doing a similar post but yours is clearly much better… hard to do when it's a palm tree-filled 80 degrees! haha). Love that HM jacket… must find.

    Textures and patterns are my favorite way to spice up an outfit. Too bad I can never justify spending money on too many patterned clothes! My favorite though is Luv4Anouka, they have the best striped and floral tees.
