A Fantastic Combination
Monday, October 6th, 2008 | layering, sweaters, tips, tops
Fall is the season of layering. Sweaters with camis. Cardigan and shell sets. But why layer like everyone else is layering? Allow me to present to a slightly more unconventional brand of layering:
This look is comprised of two pieces. The bottom layer is a silk ruffle top and the top layer is an adorable wrap front sweater.
The great thing about this ensemble is that the ruffled detail on the top eliminates the need for a necklace- it serves as built in jewelry! Both pieces would also be great on their own, or with other layers. For example, you could pair the silk ruffle top with a simple cardigan (which you probably already have in your closet anyway). Or you could pair the wrap sweater with a coordinating turtleneck for cooler days. They can also be dressed up or down, with jeans or dressier pants. So really, you are getting multiple looks with the addition of just two new pieces. And who doesn’t love that?
Silk ruffle top at Old Navy, $26.50. Available in sizes XS-XXL.
Wrap sweater at Old Navy, $34.50. Available in sizes XS-XXL.

I really love that look - it would be cute with slacks and you could easily throw a pair of jeans on to go straight out after work.

Exactly! And this shirt is such an affordable rip off of the J.Crew halter!
