Today, I decided to layer up! The weatherman said today's high temps may not break 60F, so I figured I needed a bit more bulk to my outfit. I've always been semi-intimidated by layering. When is it too much? What pieces will look good under one another? And, if you remove a layer (if you get hot - because in Seattle the weather can be quite mercurial) will the outfit still work together?
For this outfit, I tried out some layering in a similar color palette. I figured if I was going to be breaking my body up visually into chunks, maybe I could unite the chunks under a common color scheme.
and sans top layer
and with the top layer closed (sorry I didn't realize I didn't button up all the way! Waay too sleepy this morning)
I think it ended up feeling really equestrian with the beige and the reddish-brown of the boots!
