Chicago and Mother Nature have been doing an unsteady dance over the past couple of weeks. Some mornings I'm greeted by my meteorological arch enemy: sticky heat and humidity. Other days I wake up exhilarated by the emergence of fall's cooler temps, and thus scoop myself up a venti PSL. Such fickle weather brings a fashion dilemma that calls for only one solution: layering.
Creating a layered look is not brain surgery, however there are definitely a handful of staples that every girl should have in her closet to achieve a successful layered look. Join me on a trip down memory lane, as I share some of my favorite autumnal layered looks over the past few years along with the prime pieces that made them work (click the links to shop the looks!).
