shades of grey

Have you noticed how much I love to layer? It’s one of my favorite tricks for being able to wear staples like this shirt again and again with a bunch of different things! I know I also mentioned recently how much I love the look of a blouse layered under dress. It’s a polished way to take your favorite sleeveless shifts and dresses all the way through winter.

I’ve worn this dress several times already since getting it in the mail, mostly with a pair of tights and my oxfords for walking around London. It’s such a cute little dress that takes all the guesswork out of styling! I love the fun fringe details paired with such a classic tweed stripe. That’s one thing ASOS really nails when it comes to fast fashion – when you find a gem, it’s usually classic with a unique twist. For such a high street label, some of their pieces truly stand the test of time! Allow me to persuade you with a few of my new favorite arrivals…

1.This modern black midi dress is softened by pretty pleats. A gorgeous piece for the office!

2. Take the off-the-shoulder trend from spring/summer through winter with this cozy sweater in black.

3. A good white jacket is hard to find, but this textured style with a little extra fringe is a surefire winner.

4. I love a good military-style coat, but they can often look a little harsh or too themed. This option is more subdued and has a flattering fit-and-flare waist!

5. If you love leather but are shopping on a budget this fall, check out this high-neck leather dress. The silhouette and shade are both stunning and it looks like the real thing!
