H&M Top, Forever 21 Sweater and Belt, Vintage Cuff, Urban Outfitters Skirt, Gryson Bag, Vintage Boots

Since the weather is almost always warm in Los Angeles, I have minimal experience when it comes to layering. With this sweater in particular though, I wanted to overlap the two sides to create a more slimming silhouette, a trick I inherited after seeing Sarah Jessica Parker do the same here.  Sadly, this only worked until lunch, after which I was too full to keep my belt wrapped around both my top and sweater comfortably.  Note to self: when layering, go up a size to accommodate extra layers so that my belt doesn’t pop off unexpectedly.

    This look is too cute. I’m so happy I live somewhere cold enough to do this all the time. However I seriously envy your “warm weather” wardrobe 24/7.

    I cannot wait for winter! I’m loving our summer, but cannot wait for the colder months so I can wear some of my warmer gear (having my cake and eating it too, yep I know)

    LOVE the plaid skirt! Your hair is amazing. I adore your style. Very Serena from GG but more natural and less forced.
