ALL IN THE DETAILS: Layering Is Life

We all want to look our best, dress to impress and somewhat seem like we’re put together, right? What if I told you that pulling this off is a lot easier than it may seem? Accomplishing the most put together look is simply all in the details, no matter the outfit. This particular Fashionista achieved that look purely by her use of accessories. She took a simple dress and paired it with layered jewelry and a classic pair of sneakers to complete an outfit that is fashionable and appears to be well thought out.

Solid, neutral jersey dresses are so versatile and comfortable no matter what time of year. I love that this one has more of a high neckline. It’s not only a flattering look, but it’s also more modest than something like a V-neck. It can stand on its own as the main piece of any outfit, but it would look great layered with a denim jacket or even a thrifted flannel tied around the waist.

Layering jewelry adds something extra special to any outfit. When it’s paired the right way, a layered necklace like this one can make any simple ensemble a little more stylish, without making it look like you’re trying too hard. The matching gold in both the necklace and the bracelet give this whole outfit a more put together vibe. I love the look of layered jewelry, especially with a high-neck top or dress.

Converse, of course, are always a must-have. When paired with a dress, they give the outfit a sportier look. Neutral colored Converse are my go-to shoe year-round, because they bring in a classic and cute vibe to the outfit, while still being very casual and comfortable.

How To: Getting a look like this is simple, and you probably have most of the items you need in your closet already! Just take any simple clothing items you have—it doesn’t even have to be a dress—and start accessorizing! Pair it with any layered jewelry, your favorite pair of comfy sneakers and maybe a hat or a soft, warm flannel. Congratulations, you’ve achieved the layered look!
