Button Down: J.Crew {similar} | Sweater: J.Crew Factory {similar} | Jeans: Charlotte Russe | Shoes: Madewell | Necklace: Francesca’s | Bracelets: Oia Jules, JEWELIQ

I can’t stop wearing button downs under sweaters.  It’s my absolute favorite way to layer for Fall.  It’s pretty much all I brought on my three week trip around the country, which just ended.  :(   For 70 degree weather, I just wore a button down tucked into jeans and a statement necklace .  For 50 degree weather, I wore a sweater with jeans and a patterned scarf.  For 30 degree weather, I wore a button down under a sweater with jeans and boots.  I only had to bring a couple of each and I got a lot of mileage out of them.

Sorry this is kind of a short post.  We are busy unpacking and adjusting back to normal life now!

What’s your favorite layered look for this Fall?
