layer over layer over…

by Karen Blanchard

Hat, Jumper & Cardigan (ASOS gifted). Sheer maxi: The Olive Shoppe (gifted). Wedges: ALDO (gifted). Beaded top (random shop). Shades: Ray Ban. Bag: Balenciaga. Gloves: (H&M I think?)
***
ASOS contacted me to take part in a styling competition based around their clothes.
***
One look – a night on the town. The other – whatever the weather wintery look.
***
Above is the second (their items: the hat, grey jumper and cardi). I layered the grey jumper over my pale beaded tunic. The base is my maxi sheer dress (I’ll show better shots of it another time) which I layered over these garter tights and wedge boots. The oversized cardi and hat were last.
***
I’ll let you know when the competition opens on ASOS’s website. The fact that they asked me to be included was enough of a win :-))
