The weather finally decided to (kind of) cooperate and allow me to get outside to shoot a new outfit! Between cold temperatures and rain and it getting dark out at 5:30 p.m., this time of year definitely isn’t conducive to Midwest fashion blogging.

I’m finally dressing in a “more is more” mindset, meaning that more layers equals extra warmth and comfort. A flannel shirt and vest have been my go-to items since they easily can be mix and matched depending on the pattern/colors, and the pieces have a casual ease to them while still looking polished.
