Layering 101

We left for a quick trip to Europe last night (after two days of cancelled flights!). We will be gone for the rest of the week, but don't worry, I have some fun stuff planned for while I am gone. Growing up in the DC Metro Area (DMV for you locals), I mastered the art of layering at a young age. Sometimes you can leave for work in  20 degree weather and go home in 50 degree weather, all in the same day.Pants: I swear by these H&M pants. I have them in 10 colors and they are the only pants I wear. They work for me, so I don't deviate. Find the right kind of pants that work for you. Whether they are jeans you can wear with anything, leggings in 100 colors or the perfect skinny pant.

When it comes to actually pairing things together, go with what is comfortable for you. I used to be very matchy when it came to picking what I was wearing. Now, I tend to deviate a little more and wear lots of different patters (thanks Nicole!). Apparently there aren't rules any more when it comes to fashion so be adventerous! Here are a few examples of how I have put a few of my favorite outfits together. How do you layer your clothes in the cooler months? Let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help!
