Electric Blues

Below are some tips that I find helpful when layering for the cold and rainy weather we've been having lately in LA. I personally like the option of shedding layers rather than not having enough layers & freezing my buns off, so I typically stick to the 3 layer rule.  
  1. Start off with a good base. Then layer up your outfit piece by piece by piece.
  2. Layer thin ➡️ thick ➡️ thickest.  Start with thinner layers and work up to your thickest layer. I started with a thin silk blouse, layered a cropped knitted sweater for some warmth, and topped off the look with a heavy duty coat from Reformation.
  3. Mix it up with different textures and material. I kept my look fun and interesting by mixing silk and wool. 
  4. Show off all your layers. I chose a cropped sweater to show off the bright blue blouse underneath and then draped my coat over my shoulders to pull the whole look together.

GREYT WEEKEND

Jeans: Dittos Denim
Booties: Kelsi Dagger (on sale here
Clutch: Stela 9

I stayed warm this weekend in my new favorite blazer from Joe's Jeans! It's made from 100% wool, it's oversized, it goes with everything, and most importantly....it was on sale!!! Hurry and get yours before this perfect staple piece is sold out! I'm honestly obsessed with mine and I couldn't resist going back online and ordering another one in 'heather charcoal' too. 

What started as a simple and innocent  one piece purchase quickly led to a destructive shopping spree. There's nothing like going on a shopping spree to lift your spirits when the weather is too sad and depressing to go out...but I have to admit that I may have gotten a little carried away. I just couldn't resist all of the 'End of Season' sales! Anyway, I'd like to give a big thank you to my credit cards for helping me get through this stormy weekend! I owe you big time...literally! Lol

Even though the skies were nothing but dark grey clouds thundering and crying, I was on cloud nine! I bought some coats, leather jackets, jeans, and my absolute favorite scores...4 pairs of Jenni Kayne D'Orsay flats! I can't wait to wear all of these items on the blog! Hope y'all also had a GREYT Weekend!
