Whenever I think of layering pieces, I typically think of college when I was layer queen. If it was cold enough outside or if a shirt was thin enough, I would layer it to maximum potential. The more layers I put on, the cooler I felt. Put a t-shirt on, then a sweater on it, then a scarf, then a hat, then a jacket and before you knew it I had hit layer nirvana. I was ultimate cool, you guys. You’ll have to take my word for it because all photos and said layers have been destroyed from this era.
It’s funny when you take something to such an extreme that later in life you can’t go there again. I reached for this sweater today (because IT IS ACTUALLY CHILLY HERE AND I HAVE NO CHILL ABOUT IT!!!) and it’s just a tad bit too cropped for me to wear alone. I pulled a longer tank to layer with and by the time I had finished getting dressed I thought to myself ‘oh my god, this is college Kendi.’ But it’s not college Kendi because this was before 7 am. College Kendi would never.
Collegiate-inspired or not, I still love a layered top look. And it is especially easy to do with cropped sweaters which are abound this year. A simple tank from summer can save a cropped sweater from looking too summery or off-season. (‘And if it’s thin enough you can put precisely 7 more layers on top’.— Kendi, circa 2004. But maybe just stick with one.)
Oh and by the way, some of my favorite booties from last winter are back in a more colors for fall! I love these booties in the saddle suede shade. Perfect for fall.
