It’s no secret that I love to layer.
BUT….only in recent years did I learn how to do so in a manner that doesn’t make me look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man in “Ghost Busters”. Here is one such example of thin layers. Underneath my leggings I’ve taken to wearing fleece tights. They’re from Fred Meyer and they’re pretty much the best thing ever – all of the warmth and none of the bulk. I also wear thin camisoles underneath everything. Final tip: choose your fabrics wisely. I’m wearing flannel and wool – both excellent insulators if I do say so myself :).
Oh…and in case you didn’t know, I’m doing a 30 Day Challenge over at the Ground Rules Blog where I’ve challenged myself to doing my hair and/or makeup differently every day. So far I’ve completed 7 days and this braided headband in today’s outfit post was inspired by Brandi over at Mucho Mucho Bueno Bueno. Check out all of my hairstyles so far HERE.

Awesome, I’ve actually never tried fleece tights/stockings. Thanks for the tip. It’s good to know that I could still look cute in this freezing weather. 🙂
Anyway, I love your outfit and your makeup. You’re doing a lovely job so far!
UHHH! I miss Fred Meyer (especially that whole tax free deal). Adorable outfit. I have been in search of the perfect buffalo plaid shirt myself.
I love the braided headband hairstyle. It looks lovely! I’m also loving that pretty red lipstick you’re wearing!
reallyyyy love your style! and you’ve been doing a great job with hairstyles.

LOVE your outfit, you are so cute! I am now going to hunt for flannel leggings because I am the queen on layering, pretty much year round… thanks for the tip!
p.s. your hair looks totally rad!
Love your hair, wish I could do something like that, it’s cute.
Love this! I have never worn leggings but I have been seeing lots of blogger inspiration….might have to give it a try. And it helps to know about layering underneath! Thanks!
I swear girl, if you get any cuter…
Wow! 30 days of different hairdos – what a challenge! Love it so far!

You are cute and so is Marley. I’m excited to play beauty shop. That is all.
So cute!
I love that gingham shirt & I concur on your layer-ology. Your hair is cute!

That outfit is adorable, and there’s a good chance I’ll be stealing that hairstyle tomorrow… 😉 So cute!

I adore your glasses! I need to remember tortoise shell the next time I get a pair.
Cute! I’m completely jealous of your boots. I need to invest in a pair! p.s. seeing all your creative hairstyles has inspired me to play along with the 30 day challenge. Hopefully I can make it!

Thanks for those layering tips, sound warm!
The braid is so cute, I’ve been trying the braids recently as well. It’s a lot easier than I expected!
Also, the fleece tights business is very intriguing. I am pretty much always cold so I think I should give that a try.
Oh, and I love Marley’s alert stance in that photo. Those ears are adorable 🙂
I love your style. Looking at the pictures of you remind me that I need a skinny belt. I wish I had one for my outfit tomorrow. Too bad I live in the middle of nowhere of OR.
Layering took me awhile to get as well. Actually I actively resisted it because it was what every one else was doing.
i love it friend. you do layer very cute!
no frumpy frump there!

eeek!!! you’re always dressed so cute!
Incredibly cozy-looking and adorable 🙂
I really like the flannel/wool combination. And i’ve decided that we pretty much have the same hair, except different colors.
Oh, I was looking for good outfit inspiration and you delivered it. I think I need a plaid shirt.
I love your hair, makeup, and outfit in this post! And I especially love how your dog posed in the doorway behind you. Too cute. 🙂
This outfit is so cute. I love the gingham shirt with that cardigan and those boots! And your hair is darling as well. Wish I could do that with mine!
Kristine. Or Polly.
my goodness, I LOVE your outfit.
such a great stylist!
