Fall Fashion Watch: Layers

Note from me:  Wow! I had no idea I had such a loyal following. I wasn't able to get my Monday Fashion post up which disappointed quite a few people. Let me apologize for letting 'life' get in the way of providing your Fall Fashion fix! I promise it won't happen again...

Layers!

With weather fighting transitions from warm to chilly, we are left trying to decide what to wear that will translate from cold (almost freezing) mornings into warm, sunny afternoons. I really don't like lugging a big coat around in the afternoons, so I've compiled some layered looks that will help you peel off and put back on what you need as the weather does its own thing during the day.  Some of these looks will work well in the Spring too!



Layering 3
Start out with all of these pieces (even the sandals in your bag). As the temp warms up, peel off the jacket to reveal the cute dress and leggings. Hotter? Slip away and slip the leggings off.  Way too hot? Tee, leggings and sandals will do the trick!

Layering 2
It's freezing when you're on the way to the office and by the time you leave, its 80 degrees! No problem. These pieces can mix and match to bring you great comfort. An added bonus is that you can mix and match them to translate into a night on the town (blouse, skirt, and cape) or feeling more daring, just wear your buttoned blazer and skirt. A safety pin will insure that the "girls" stay put.

An Oxford shirt is a must have! It can go over and under sweaters. In this case, wear it open over the sleeveless sweater. Temps rising? Take the jacket off, wrap the oxford around your waste and trek on!

Today's Soundtrack: Oriental Uno by Beats Antique


If you ever need to get pumped up to do something daunting, this is the song for you. I happened upon this song while listing to Bossanova Radio on Pandora. From the very first sound, I was enthralled with the production of this track. I am so glad there are no vocals to disturb the absolutely mesmerizing instrumentation of Beats Antique.

This "experimental world fusion and electronic music group" has gotten my attention! Check out their site here.  Apparently, the live shows are nothing short of magical, so I guess I'll be checking for tour dates.  They remind me of Daft Punk but with their own sense of sound and imagery. Well, sense I mentioned Daft Punk I might as well add a couple of their tracks.
