#MondayMotivation: Slayers who layer

accreditation

This past week was a fashion frenzy. It was a week where we experienced fashion all wrapped up.

It was not however the voluminous layers synonymous with ball gowns that stole the street style show but rather those of the more inconspicuous, off-duty nature which reigned supreme. 

When it comes to layering, longer is always better, right? Wrong! Mid-length layers were equally as delicious as their lengthy counterparts.

Headgear

More is more, especially with a beret and headscarf in the mix. Team these two accessories together to create a magical look.

Sleeves

Basic is so last year, slogan sleeves and evening gloves are all that and then some, right now.

Over the shoulders

A satin kimono is a must-have for striking layered attire. Allowing yours to lovingly linger like a cape will seal the deal.

Dress over pants

Whether it's a pair of jeans or a pair of leggings, wearing a frock over trousers is back.

This is how to get it right in 2017. #outiftgoals!

Dress over dress

Pile it on, go subtle with streamlined looks or over-the-top with bold colours.

Mid-length

Weather it's a fanny pack, another skirt or a shirt tied around your waist, break up your outfit with some add-ons.

Handbags!!!!! Why wear one when you can have two?

Lines over lines and forms over forms are to mid-length layering what sugar is to a cupcake… LIFE!
