Fashion Dos - Layering with Overpieces 

Written by: Elizabeth McGuffin (@withwonderandwhimsy)  

Fall’s cooler weather means bundling up in cozy overpieces and outerwear. The key is learning to approach jackets, dusters and kimonos as part of your look instead of just outerwear. Styled thoughtfully, overpieces can be the highlight of your outfit and serve as that perfect finishing touch.  

Instead of adding bulk and overwhelming your frame, layering with overpieces can actually accentuate your waist, make you look taller and add an ease and elegance to your look. These four influencers show us how it’s done.
