When the thermometer drops and you don’t even want to go outside, it's tempting to throw fashion to the wind and pile on everything in your closet. But there's an easy art to mastering a flattering layered look and staying warm. Layering is important for practical reasons, but you don’t have to look like a snowman, it’s still possible to create a stylish outfit and stay warm. Here in North Carolina, it doesn’t get that crazy cold. We’ll have our days in the 20’s, but we rarely get much colder than that. Sooo, obviously if you live in a frigid climate, this post most likely won’t apply to you, but if you’re just dealing with a cold day, why not layer things up in a cute way.

Layering for warmth with Loft scarf - Crazy Blonde Life

I layered a longer-in-the back black sweater from Free People over the tank and added a short furry vest over the sweater. Then I added a window pane print scarf from Loft. The weather was in the low 40’a the day this picture was taken, but I was plenty warm. My bag is a replica of a Gabriela Hearst bag. Here is a similar one I found on The Real Real.

Flat over-the-knee boots are the most fashionable winter-approved footwear. They elevate any outfit while covering even more surface area.
