Someone recently pointed out that it’s been a while since I’ve collaged a few outfits together and they’re right – no specific reason – just something I stopped doing. I’ve been feeling more inclined lately and when ModCloth approached me and asked me to showcase their autumn layers I decided to hop back on the bandwagon.
The outfit in hand uses a blanket-style cardigan as its centerpiece. You can’t have missed seeing a photo or 600 of Olivia Palermo / Cara Delevigne / Famous Woman X wearing the Burberry blanket with their initials monogrammed. If you’re rich and famous you can get one of those for $1,395 – if you’re a humble being you might have to look elsewhere.
This particular folk-inspired blanket-style cardigan has a brilliant pattern and colour combo. I’ve decided to team it with with a mustard cowl neck top and a denim shirt that I plan on wearing unbuttoned, the cowl neck top is actually a thin cardigan but I like it worn as a base layer. Since in my fuddled thoughts Autumn needs a hat and gloves, I couldn’t resist adding a touch of vintage to clash with my folk.
Wear this outfit with jeans and booties for a day out in a park / garden / walk around / a day out shopping or even to work if the dress code is casual.
If you’re not familiar with ModCloth you might be worth checking them out, they have an amazing selection of cardigans at the moment. it caters for all sizes and has lots of vintage inspired & quirky pieces – plus you can even shop by decade.They curate their clothes from different retailers as well as having their own private label. I actually found out about this site last year through Pretty Little Liars, since I obsessively hunt through blogs to see where their clothes are from – quite a few pieces were from ModCloth.
Any other layering ideas for Autumn ?
