Volume 1 = Layers.
Fall & winter are the perfect season's for layering clothing.
Layers give that casual feel - and they keep you warm too.
Here is how I do it:
A good rule of thumb is to stick with one solid and one pattern. Also adding complimentary colors help to make your clothes an "outfit".
Stripes are my "go-to". A fun stripe shirt or cardigan is a staple in my closet. Pair a stripe number with those solid sweaters or plain tees we all have in our closets and you are golden.
Also - Using a scarf or some opaque tights will help you achieve this look.
Here are some examples of layers I wore this week:
orange cardigan: banana republic outlet (major sale)
swan ruffle shirt: love&photographs consignment shop
gray pencil skirt: shade clothing
gray tights: TJMaxx
blue & white flats: Urban Outfitters
tan handbag: Coach, thrifted (orange twine)

I love the short-sleeved sweater over the stripes. Very cute.
OH boy. I love fashion dialogue. I have a problem with stripes...as in that is all I want to buy, but like you modeled so well, they can be incorporated into other looks.
One more thing, I once heard that if you have a tighter smaller cardigan wear a blousier and or longer shirt underneath, and if you have a longer or baggy cardigan/sweater, aim for a more fitter look underneath. I find these words to be good.
There is my 2 cents.
One thing to keep in mind...not everyone likes the same style so the term being "fashinable" is all relevant. A person can still "get it" and dress completely different than you.
Mmmm, layers are my best friend. I love the outfits. I never would have thought to put the second one together but it turned out super cutie.
I love what you did - super cute! My favorite is the second one because I love stripes. I keep a lot of my clothes a long time, and I keep finding all different ways to use them. Have fun with your clothes, I say.
Check you out fashionista!
