My Obsession With Layering Continues In New York

It's weird how people constantly ask me why I wear so many layers of clothing everyday. I feel that I've always had to wear at least 2 pieces as a top and 1 piece on the bottom. The picture above was taken in SoHo the first day I arrived in New York. The girl was extremely hesitant of me taking her photo, but she finally broke down and let me take it. I'm glad she did.

When I was hanging out with a friend on Memorial Day I was wearing a H&M white blazer, Topman neon yellow button up, some jeans, and boots. I think it reached to 90 degrees that day, yet I still kept my blazer on. I feel like sometimes you just have to suffer.
To me only wearing a t-shirt and bottoms is just way to plain. I definitely always need to have some sort of cardigan/jacket. For me it feels like I'm naked when I'm only wearing just a plain top and bottom. Whether its just putting on a cropped leather jacket or a long lightweight cardigan, the more pieces - the better.
The picture above was taken by the lovely Leilanie from The Thriftaholic in January, aka a long time ago. I love this picture of the numerous of layers that makes up this outfit.
Here's a little denim on denim action with a little bit of sporty flavor and preppy chic. Wow that was kind of a tongue twister.

The women in the photos are gorgeous! And your layering is fantastic! There is so much visual interest I can't imagine life without layers - plus it's cool weather-wise here so there's really not much choice.

I like your layering!!! But what are you gonna do when the sweltering New York summer arrives? :-)

Beautiful photos again by the way! :-)

I also love layering. Especially, cozy cashmere cowls. In the winter, it takes me awhile to peel off my luscious layers - but it's worth it!
