Layers? Cake!
It’s official. When the calendar reads the day after Labor Day, it’s time to put away all your white clothes and get ready for jewel tones, tweeds, boots… I realize it’s not quite cool enough for the full-on fall wear in the magazines right now, but I’m thinking the layering trend is perfect for easing into the season.
This Marc Jacobs dress is sort of layering for dummies, with those built-in leather sleeves and everything. Wear it now (okay, maybe not right this minute, but soon) with a pair of patent crimson d’Orsay heels. Then, when it gets cold, say, early December, throw on some black tights and Marni tall boots and this very chic Diane von Furstenberg coat — and voila, you’ve been layered!
And for the transition from festive holiday dressing to the January blahs, I’m planning on ordering a little mink vest from the dressmaker to wear over thin cashmere turtlenecks early in the season, and later, under the super-cute, not-so-super-warm coats I’m eyeing… yes, including the DVF one mentioned above. Now that’s what I call form and function!
