"Layering is such a talent.  It's a way of dressing that is very personal." - ELLE JULY 2011

I can't wait for a little breeze in the weather to justify socks in booties and scarves over cropped jackets.  The sweltering heat we are experiencing right now gives you almost nothing to work with.  Zero mystery.  On the flipside I guess there is something to enjoy about that sweaty and passionate summer heat.

Post-Script
I guess this is the second time I've mentioned mystery + style in one thought.  People always say "dress for the job you want, not the one you have" or other metaphorical interpretations of the idea that your clothing basically speaks as an aesthetic summary of your personality on your mouth's behalf.  Visuals are everything.  The way you've dressed yourself today has been deliberately chosen by your subconscious to portray who you want the world to see you as today.  A rebel, a bombshell, the girl/guy next door - each character you dress as  comes equipped with a backstory.  Hence the more layers, the more drama and mystery. Therefore, as you add more of these story-like elements you add to your wardrobe you become a little bit more interesting - to look at... maaaybe not to speak to.  But hey, could've fooled me!
