Notes on Layering

I’ve always struggled when it comes to transitioning more summer inspired pieces into autumn. I was never going to be one to do some Avril Lavigne t-shirt inspired layering when it came to packing away favourite jersey pieces, but when it comes to floaty dresses and beautiful sheer blouses- I’m always sure they can be given a second lease of life as things start to get cooler.

Although I’m prone to throwing a jumper over anything that doesn’t look particularly warm- with a dress as beautiful as this (which I’d have never thought to layer full stop)- it was actually throwing a roll neck underneath that solved all of my sartorial temperature dilemmas. Who’d have thunk it? Feeling inspired by something I’m sure I’ve scrolled past on Instagram and or Pinterest- this little knit under dress combination may be a new favourite wardrobe fix.

Paired with my of this winter (because patent also equals waterproof) and the only at the moment (all hail the chic fauxrisian beret!) it was nice on a chilly October afternoon to try something new with my wardrobe, having fallen into a bit of a jumper – jeans – trainers funk the moment the weather gets colder.
