It’s that time of year again. Layering time.
Other than the beautiful lights, the mulled wine and the all round Christmas shopping cheer, the other factor that makes the gruelling winter bearable is layering. It’s no secret that I adore layering – it allows for such creative expression and tests the versatility of all the clothes in your closet. You can take an old dress and make it new just by throwing on some layers and some star accessories – you’ll never have nothing to wear again!
For this look I wanted to breathe some new life into a turtleneck dress I bought a couple of years ago. I got this dress from ASOS but you can find similar ones here and here, both under £30 and one here. I managed to add a little bit more edge to a somewhat girly silhouette by layering a really cool asymmetrical sleeve sweater. I got this one from Whistles a while ago but using a sleeveless bardot top like this one, would get the same effect. The extra touch came with this amazing leather belt.
I love the mix of textures between the dress and the sweater – this just adds another element to the look. The belt adds some definition to your silhouette and pulls the look together while refining and polishing it! I also loved the mix of materials with the knit and the leather of my boots! A simple black and white look always appears more interesting when you play around with materials!
