This Fashion Friday's post for the fabulous Live Lean is all about light layers for the beginning of fall. With temperatures beginning to drop it's so much easier to stay warm and chic by adding layers of cozy fabrics. Combine chunky knits, fur, suede and leather to juxtapose texture into your ensemble and stay ahead of the trend curve. Try keeping the look in the same color family (neutrals are huge this season!) to give your outfit a modern spin.

I'm definitely in the mood for loose layers, chunky knits, neutral tribal print, leather and studs today as rainy weather continues in my neck of the woods and fall completely ambushes my wardrobe. I can't wait for chillier days and warm apple cider!

You may or may not know that I did a brief retail management stint which involved a dress code full of glittery cocktail dresses; as a new momma and on my recent quest to reduce my wardrobe to neutral basics, mini dresses don't really fit the bill anymore. My loss is your gain: check out the pieces here (or the link in the sidebar) and help this glitter girl become a little less glittery!
