The art of layering


Photo: Margaret Howell A/W2013

Like Brody in season three of Homeland, I'm back. Don't worry I haven't shaved my head and started injecting smack - though I've wanted to at times - but I have spent the best part of this week in exile. The victim of a cyber attack. Completely traumatized, with a blog-sized hole in my life. Difficult times people, difficult times. Anyhow. While barred from my own blog, I passed the time pondering the art of layering. I hate to bore on about the weather but what with the unseasonally high temperatures (experienced both externally and internally, ahem), looking good and not over-heating has become a minor preoccupation. I like what Garance Doré (I always want to call her Garage Door) is doing here:

I'll be catching up with blogs and blogging over the next few days - it's good to be back!

    I love layering, provided the Texas weather cooperates!
    Glad you're back. :)

    My husband started us off calling her Garage Door (Garance Doré). I thought we were the only ones!

    How awful for you! No idea how you sorted that one out. It sounds like a nightmare!!

    Layering? Well, I do it all the time, and today I accidentally discovered that 2 skirts hanging together on the same hanger were of different lengths, so now I am wearing one over the other. I think this could be good for travelling too!

    Glad you're back.

    Cheers,

    Happy that you are back. It's not the same out here without you.

    Layering is my friend. Love your photos, as usual.
