So what is this layering business?


 Blazer - 2nd hand market; Knitted sweater - Forever 21; Tank top - can't remember, had it for ages; Boots - Lu Yi Lin; Jeans - 2nd hand market; Belt - Mr. Price; Jewellery - My mum's.

So...
 {Start with a singlet.}

 {Then add your knit of choice.}

{And top it off with a blazer/coat/jacket.}

It's been getting pretty chilly in Nairobi lately, chilly enough to warrant some layering. To be very honest I've never really understood the layering business but after watching some of Wendy's YouTube videos, I was able to wrap my head around it. It used to seem so complicated before but alas, Wendy's your girl when it comes to layering tips. So who exactly is Wendy? She's the awesome blogger from Wendy's Lookbook. Check her out already. 

So what do I now know about layering? Well, 
1. It's often safer to stay in the same colour family. In my case I knew I wanted to stick to cool/neutral tones (browns, blues and greys)
2. Try ensure that you've still got a figure under all those layers by adding a belt to synch in your waist. 
3. Don't be scared to play with different textures!
