Layering Essentials for Fall with the Ageless Style Link UP

I love planning ahead when I can and when Joanne from My Slice of Life choose our November theme as fall layers, I knew right away which layer I was going to feature in this post. Here in the South, it is all about layering in the fall. What are essential fall layers? Sometimes, you only need light layers, sometimes you need heavier layers. This Old Navy shacket comes in oatmeal and rust as well as in different plaid colors and is a great in between layer.

Before purchasing it during one of Old Navy’s 50% sale, I went it store to see what color I would order as well as what size. I hesitated between oatmeal and the grey/white plaid but decided I would get more wear from it if it was a solid color. I tried both sizes S and XS and settled with extra small. Last year, I bought another Old Navy shacket which has more of a bomber cut that is plaid so this was the better choice for me this time.

The shacket is of a nice heavy weight and warm. I can see it worn over a dress or combined with a skirt. Even with a size XS, I can wear a light sweater under it.

Both my jeans (WHBM) and the sweater (Free People) are thrifted. I wore the sweater with a matching tank (from Target). I look forward to pairing it with some of my fall and winter skirts.

We enjoyed the morning light on this shoot but it also made for some shadows. Those are things we don’t always notice till after we take pictures.

Another fun feature of this shacket is the pockets. I always like having pockets to put my phone in or my keys or my hands if they are cold. Now did I need another light jacket when I bought this? No… especially that I was cutting down on clothes spending and really taking a good look at my closet and what should remain. I will say, that I keep my jackets for many many years though and I waited about a month before getting this one.

So what do I consider an essential layer for fall? I think it is good to have several choices so that you can wear something more casual or dressy and it is good to have options in weight and warmth. So yes to all of the fall layers!
