Because Lisa Shows us How to Layer

As a gal who lives in the suburbs of Chicago, I find myself freezing during the winter months…(You don't have to be from Chicago to know that the hashtag Chibera was trending a few weeks ago!)

So what do we do about it? Wear layers of course! Here's how I get cozy with multiple pieces:

Layer 1: Great denim and a cozy knit. This is really my go-to for everyday wear. It truly is the easiest to mix and match denim with a cute sweater and lets be honest, we all own these items.

 

Layer 2: Add a great scarf and don't forget the perfect boot! This is not an infinity scarf, but I tied the ends and made it into one. I like to mix patterns, but doing so scares a lot of people. I have found that if you keep them in the same color family, you can make it look effortless.

 

Layer 3: Add a fur vest. This can be worn with the outfit, then you have the option to take it off when you get to your destination. I do both depending on how cold I am.

 

Layer 4: Add a wool coat. I love this one because it's like a trench coat, but much warmer. Plus, I stayed with neutral colors for all items so it was easy to mix textures, patterns, and layers without looking like a hot mess! ;)
