Layers

It's really difficult to dress cute when its below freezing out (literally below freezing, it says it feels like -13 degrees out as I'm typing this). I wanted to create a different look while keeping warm this past weekend as we celebrated Kevin's birthday. This is where layers and a hat came in.

I've seen the cropped sweater with a button up on various bloggers and didn't realize just how easy it is to copy. Everyone should have a white button up in their closet for the versatility it offers, this outfit is a perfect example of that.

Adding some different accessories, like this hat, helped make the traditional black and white color scheme pop. If you're nervous about the hat trend I would recommend the one I'm wearing below, it's perfect and it's only $14 AND Forever21 it offering free shipping on any order today so you pretty much have to buy it now. Thanks for reading!
