Fall is the official layering season, period. Yes, there are plenty of pumpkin spice lattes and colorful (and crunchy!) Leaves layered sets that are both comfy and chic. Because spending the day in a pumpkin patch isn’t the same without the added bonus of a really nice outfit, Okay?

Simply change your outfit underneath and voila! You have another really gorgeous fall outfit. All it takes is a little creativity and some very helpful advice from yours truly.

Do not worry ! These aren’t the ponchos you (unfortunately) wore at first. Think more elegant, more chic and elevated beyond belief.
