RESUME EN FRANCAIS
When all they see is what’s on the surface…show them something to talk about! Not sure if this is already a quote, or if I just came up with that- but I’m using it!

The Layered Effect…
For many of us, fall weather is already in full gear- and it’s the perfect time to style up our outer layers. And as many Northern girls know, this is also the beginning of months where all you get to see is mostly what we layer over our clothes. So jackets, coats, blazers- are important showpieces during this time of year and for the months to come; because for the most part that’s all you get to see on us!
Layered Effect in Warm Climates?
But what if you’re living in a warmer climate? Spending some time in Florida these past weeks had me thinking about outer-layer-styling quite a bit. The weather here is still super hot, so how is layering possible you ask?
Well for one thing, even if it’s hot outside- all indoor places are freezing cold due to the strong AC lol! So that’s a perfect reason for me to layer up even in such hot weather. When out and about, bringing a jacket, such as this white cotton zip-up, is not only practical for the cold indoors- but still light in color and fabric to lug around. But as a look- let’s face it, it’s pretty basic and even a little blah.
I need something that’s more of a dopamine vibe, you know that! So, better than a jacket or blazer, I’ve been enjoying wearing cover-ups as layering pieces. This super gorgeous one by Laundry is perfect- and now we’re talking.
You’ll agree it’s quite the show piece with its array of pinks, blues and mustards. It’s a show stopper- and that’s what your outer/ or layering piece should be- since for the most, that’s all they’ll get to see! Make it worth it!



Here are some similar cover-ups I’m loving:

How are you layering pieces in your neck of the woods? Showstoppers anyone?

Layering is a great way to express your own style. And these are perfect examples of this.

I agree! Thank you!
Lovely layering inspiration for all seasons! Thanks for the link up party and enjoy your weekend!
Thank you Di!
I really appreciate that you are addressing one of my perennial issues as someone who loves fall layers, but moved to Arizona 30+ years ago (though I am lucky to spend the end of summer and the beginning of fall in Oregon, near my daughter’s family, so I get a taste of early fall here.) I have learned to use the light layers, as you suggest! I would add that for me, if I can incorporate autumnal colors in my light layers it really helps me feel like I am properly in the season, even when I am in southern Arizona!
That’s an excellent point Linda- Color can really add to the feel of a season. Thank you!
Good point about outer layers; they need to be exciting and garner interest for those times when they are the primary article of clothing seen. I love that kimono from Laundry. So happy and gorgeous.

Yes, and I’m all for exciting when it comes to layers- I agree with you. That’s the right description for this kimono: happy!
I love layering.. from kimonos to lightweight jackets to coasts… Which is why I have quite a collection. It finally is cooling down here and I am excited!

Love the drama of the pink/orange kimono! What an eye-catcher.
Thank you Sally!
Oh, I do love layering, but I don’t think I’ve ever given much thought to the back! Now, I’ll be thinking lots about it! Love that mustard/pink/blue coverup! Thanks for the link party!

Sometimes the back of a garment tells its own story! Definitely keep that in mind when shopping your next piece:) Thanks!
I still have summer in my head Lucy, while it’s already pretty cold here. But I love layering! And I need to get my leopard coat out!
Ooh leopard sounds perfect to me!
Oooh, that is a fabulous cover up, Lucy! The colors are extraordinary together and you know how I love a good dramatic topper piece! I need more of these cover ups in winter fabrics!
