Layering in the Sun

With fall nearing to an end and winter approaching, I think back at layering fashion in the cold. Living on an island with a 30*C average, it is very unlikely to layer. However I figured a fun different way to wear items I already own, is to layer.

Now you could always throw on a khaki trench coat (like "this" or "this") and a pair of chelsea boots. For now I will stick to my sandals and imagine what I would have worn if still living in a four season country.

Get the most out of your clothes

Lately I have been absent from blogosphere and also found myself in a pickle. Yesterday movers packed up our entire house and I had to pack clothes for "3 different seasons". I'm not complaining though! This afternoon we are flying to Italy and will be enjoying the Italian culture, just before moving back to my home-land, Curaçao. 

Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of your clothes and how to create multiple outfits with limited clothes!

By layering tops, tees and denim shirts over your playsuit, you multi use your playsuit as shorts...

Tie a denim shirt... layer a cropped tee... or a flowy top.

Et Voila! 2 in 1 outfit!

Baby it's cold outside!

When it's cold outside and your covered head to toe, wear funky print pants that peek out from underneath your warm coat and wear a pop of color on your lips!

Candy Pink Pantalones

Even though it's still freezing from time to time, and mid-winter, my minds already thinking warmer thoughts and bright colors. I could not help myself with these candy pink pants, I just had to have them!

Thank goodness for sales! and before we know it there will be swimwear in stores... for now we are left with layering our favorite shirts....

A Spoon Full of Sugar

During the Holiday break I ended up watching "Saving Mr. Banks" the story behind the movie "Mary Poppins", which I watched after. I love watching Disney movies on a rainy day, it is inspiring and care-free and all adults need this from time to time...

Layering is still the way to go this winter; I layered a Checkered button-up shirt with a floral top, topped off with a hat against the rain.

Cropped Sweater Peplum

"The cropped sweater" first seen worn "here", then I thought maybe not so versatile after all. However layering is the best way to get the most out of your clothes! So I paired a printed peplum top with my cropped sweater, et voila a new outfit was born.

LPD All Year Round

 Like mentioned in yesterday's post, The Little Print Dress is very versatile and can be worn all year round. 

A easy layering staple; wear a button down denim shirt underneath for a preppy spring look with lady like flats.

Wear it with sandals and a vest for summer festivities.

For fall dress it up with brogues and a fuzzy sweater and for winter double up on the prints with playful polkadot tights and a belted faux fur vest to keep warm.
