Layering makes me happy, because it’s the perfect way to maximize my entire wardrobe regardless of the season. When you find a way to wear a strapless mini dress year round, it’s one less thing you have to move to your “summer closet.” Perhaps my favorite thing about layering, though, is mixing prints. The combination of swirls and stripes in this look are quirky and fun, while the fur vest and black booties add a touch of chic. On cooler days (or nights), cover up your bare legs with a pair of black tights.
