When it comes to my wardrobe, the one thing I’m really great at is layering. I love layering because it’s one of the easiest ways to add interest, and depth to any outfit. And when done right, and with a few key layering staples, you’re able to make the same pieces feel brand new each time they’re worn.
This is especially great for me since I find I’m constantly drawn to the same types of clothing: button down shirts, leggings, oversized sweaters, sneakers…basically everything you see in todays outfit.
While every piece of today’s entire outfit can be considered a key layering piece; the gold stars really go to my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings and Striped Shirtdress.
The leggings are a win because the faux leather finish is an upgrade from your standard leggings, but can still be dressed up or down, worn alone as pants or layered underneath a skirt or long shirt. Plus they’re Spanx so they hold me in in all the right places.
The Shirtdress, meant to be worn alone during warmer temps, doubles as a skirt or extra long shirt in this particular look. Would this outfit have worked with the leggings and sweater; of course. But how more fun is it with the blue and white striped dress?! Pro tip…when layering match up tops with different sleeve lengths and neck shapes. For example, my black sweater has a large cowl neck and shorter arms while the dress can be buttoned up and has the classic long sleeve. This allows the tops to complement one another rather than fight to be seen. Win win. Truly, MKR
I love this look! Is the shirt dress you linked the exact one you’re wearing? Yours appears to have French cuffs, and I love it!
The one I’m wearing is a W by Worth one which I don’t think they make anymore so I tried to find a similar one. Sorry! xo
Ok I think I found it. It’s the cascade hem striped shirt by worth. If not the exact one, it’s very similar. Thanks for the lead!
