Jazz Up Your Outfit with Layers

by

August is that time in the summer known for crisp, cool temperatures, meaning you can finally break out an extra layer to add to your outfits. With cardigans, chic jackets and light scarves making a comeback, we have all your late Summer to Fall essentials and how to wear them!

This august, I’ll definitely be stocking up on pieces from the Simply Vera Vera Wang collection available at Kohl’s. My personal favorite is the Pointelle Open-Work Cardigan (currently on sale for $23, what a steal!). It’s an incredibly light-weight, delicate, and feminine cardigan, perfect for those 50-60 degree nights, that can be dressed up with a pencil skirt and kitten heels, or even dressed casually with skinny jeans and flats. Slip this on and you’re ready for a sweet girls’ night out.


Another steal I found on the Kohl’s website from the line for $32.99 is the Simply Vera Vera Wang Chiffon-Trim Blazer. A well-structured chiffon and linen blazer is great for those who want a less feminine look. For a polished look, you can never go wrong with a blazer paired with a solid camisole, skinnies, and a sturdy pair of pumps. But if you’re looking for more rugged, definitely roll those blazer sleeves up over your v-neck tee, with combat boots to match!

 

But for when you don’t want the extra layer of a jacket and prefer a lighter accessory instead, I’d opt for a light airy scarf from Aldo’s accessories line. For just $20, you can have a cute scarf that goes with practically any outfit you can whip out of your closet (except maybe sweatpants…wait why are you whipping out sweatpants again??). I find that these scarves, paired with a bangle or two, can bring out the instant boho chick in you.

 

 

These pieces are also a great way to get some of that Fall shopping started. So layer up, ladies!
