Outfits for Every Season By Adding Layers | The Pink + Orange Edition

I hate strongly dislike being cold. I also hate strongly dislike limiting my brightly colored pieces to being worn only in the summer. Putting these two together is what drives me to create outfits for each season by adding layers to my summer pieces. It's a pretty formulaic way for me to use my clothes more effectively while keeping my look fresh. If you read my post on overcoming 12 months of insecurity, you saw the spring version of this outfit and since then, I've been able to rework the same pink and orange pieces to use even as the weather turned chilly. I've found that extra layers of denim and khaki always add interest and texture. Next year, I could go with a different colored cardigan and work through the whole formula again to create an entirely new group of outfits. Cool, yeah?

I've always loved the July 4th holiday.  It's just the climax of everything SUMMER...the barbecues, the fireworks and of course, my favorite color, navy.   It's fun dressing for the holiday, but it's so challenging to be festive without looking like an actual, you know, American flag.  So I pulled some options I together using pieces similar to what I already own. May you be inspired, mah dears!
