n the fall layering is essential in the south due to the erratic nature of the temperature here. There are many days that the high and low in a single day can be a difference of nearly twenty degrees. Making multiple cardigans wraps and shrugs a must on your fall wardrobe checklist. There are so many new styles, materials, patterns and colors to choose from this year when choosing your favorite go to layering piece.

Many of you have learned this spring and summer that adding a belt or a necklace to what you are wearing can complete your outfit, allowing you to truly make a fashion statement. Layering cardigans, wraps and shrugs can do the same thing and also save you a bit of money by allowing you to bring part of your current summer wardrobe into the fall! They are also perfect for the freezing cold AC inside your school or office.

Yes! You Can Pull Off White All Year Long

Michael Stars Dolman Sleeve Boatneck in Black ($62), Michael Stars Long Sleeve Turtleneck in Coin ($55), Joes Jeans Ankle Cigarette in White ($158) and Lauren Elizabeth Designs 3 Way Necklace ($108)

Just be sure to add some darker colors such as gray, purple, maroon, navy blue or black. These colors will look great against a crisp pair of white jeans or corduroys just like in the picture above. (NO LINEN! That is one exception to this rule!) Also, a gray or black blazer, cardigan or sweater will pull it all together nicely. If you need a visual idea check out the pictures below.

Accessorize with scarves, gloves, or winter hats to pull together a warm and cozy outfit. You don’t want those white pants to make people think it’s summer outside. If you need a few ideas on this you can check out the “It’s Snowing Outside” blog we did last week. Pairing your white denim with any kind of boot will also help steer you away from a summer look.
