Those who know me well, know my favorite thing about cold, Ohio winter is that you can comfortably wear lots of layers. A few chilly days in January gave me the opportunity to layer sweaters, tights, tees, and jackets with my skirt. I was inspired by the gray skies to brighten my days in other ways and to approach this styling task less seriously by mixing and not matching colors, textures and patterns. So bring it on February. My skirt and I are ready for you.
Day 5 - Styled with a grey faux leather jacket, over a Stewart Brown tee, 49 Square Miles carved wood heart necklace and wood stacked heel ankle bootie, all from Substance.
Day 6 - Wearing equestrian print romper and Bauxo double buckle belt from Substance with my own pointelle cashmere shrug, Missoni stockings and Frye boots.
We tried to get a close up to show this adorable tiny horse print on the equestrian romper. It makes me smile. You may have to see it in person to get the full effect.

The thing about layers is that they can add bulk. I use belts a lot to minimize the fullness of the extra layers. I also look for light weight fabrics in my tops, because I can comfortably layer them for warmth with the added bonus that I can still wear most of these tops on their own in the spring and summer. You’ll definitely see me in many of these pieces again, on their own, in the warmer months.
Day 7 - Wearing ditsy floral printed bow blouse over Stewart Brown tee, Bauxo skinny belt, vermeil circle pendant all from Substance with my own purple tights and studded boot from Barneys New York.
Day 8 - Wearing Indigenous Designs just sleeves sweater, agate slice buckle and Solesu imprinted leather belt from Substance with my own abstract floral knit top, Missoni tights and Chie Mihara lace-ups.
Extra purple ... in case I meet Prince today.
