Simple Shades & Layering

12.09.10

Before Crafeteria last Friday night, Scott and I took a few photos near the new Pita Jungle building. I’m kind of obsessed with the exposed brick that surrounds the building, and thought that it was a good spot to get a few city outfit photos in (it was almost dark as well, so it was kind of our last chance really).

Cardigan: Banana Republic
Dress: Target
Navy tights: c/o We Love Colors
Bag: Orla Kiely
Oxfords: Steve Madden
Hot toddy scarf: c/o Spotted Moth
Jacket: Banana Republic
Shirt: Eddie Bauer
Shoes: Bass
It was a little chilly out this evening, but I decided to man the cold with only a cardigan on. Later in the evening, as the temperature dropped, I threw on a black hooded jacket just to give myself a little extra warmth.

For awhile now I’ve been lusting over these navy tights from We Love Colors. I don’t have much navy in my wardrobe, but thought these tights would work great with some basic colors, and would add a pop of color to any outfit.

It’s safe to say that simple shades, and layering were the theme of Scott and I’s ensembles for the evening. I really wanted to be comfy while romping around the craft fair, and was happy with what I chose to wear. My oversized school bag was perfect for throwing flyers, and handmade purchases that we bought throughout the night in, and was also a good spot for my heavy camera.

I’ve had this shirt dress for a few years now and absolutely love it. I have found that it’s a great layering piece, and goes with just about everything that I own. They do say that every girl should have a little black dress. Well, this is mine.
And here are just a few fun jumping shots for your viewing pleasure:

Do you have a go-to, little black dress? What is your favorite thing to pair it with? Have you found it to be versatile with layering?
