 OOO! The time change is coming around and California is finally seeing the seasons change. (well…kind of)

 The point is…Fall is here! And we finally get to layer up. Layering is a hobby of mine. Some have basket weaving & scrapbooking, while I have my dusty container box full of sweaters and cardigans ready for layer play!

 Here are some quick tips for layering for comfort and fun!

1. Play it Up

Layering doesn’t have to be dull. Grab a bulky necklace and pair with a baggy tee and cardigan. Forever 21 has great statement pieces for prices under $20. 

2.    Flashdance those sweaters!

Yeah, you heard me! Grab your old sweaters or hoodies and cut them up. Fall is a great excuse to go back to the 80s and wear your off the shoulder sweaters. Pair it with an infinity scarf and boots and  your ready to go! And if you really want to get in the spirit; you can get a perm!

3.    Tightest At the Tummy!

Afraid to look like a fluffy marshmallow with your layering? Start with a more fitted top with your under layers. Stay tight near the tummy and start going baggy towards your second, third, fifth, sixth, SEVENTH layer!

 4.    Going bulky?

If you want to achieve the bulky layering look, (Large sweaters, poofy scarves, etc.) remember to keep it tight at the bottom. Cotton On and H&M has great, tight leggings for under $10! 

Follow these quick and easy tips and you’ll definitely be ready for hot cocoa, thigh high socks, and fashionable Christmas tree shopping! 

The 90s are back, baby & chokers are totally in! If you’re a 90s baby like myself, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Remember when these chokers were in the quarter machine?” (And if you don’t know what I’m talking about…then wow, I feel old!)
