My dad told me that when my grandfather came to this country, he owned no luggage. Instead he wore his only suit over his other clothes. From time to time, he would take off one layer & reverse it with the one on top.
I felt a little like my grandfather this week when I wore a skirt over a dress over a light shirt. It was very cold & snowy, & I didn't want to drive, so I wanted to be plenty warm while waiting for the bus. As we all know, it's best to dress in layers when it's cold.
The bottom layer was a very light-weight blouse. The next layer was a dress that got shrunk at the cleaners (grrrrr), so I can't wear it to work any longer. The last layer was a skirt.
I enjoyed knowing the secret of my go-anywhere, many-layered outfit throughout the day & never got cold.

All three layers on at once...
Abercrombie shirt, Garnet Hill dress, Boden skirt, Aerosoles boots
Had I gotten too warm at work, I could have stripped off the dress & just worn the skirt & shirt underneath....

Had I been going out after work, I could have just taken off the skirt, changed my earrings, & headed out for the night...
Garnet Hill dress, Aerosoles boots. The dress doesn't look so tight in this photo, but you're not seeing it from behind :-)
Has it been cold where you are? Have you been layering up?
