Guess what? About mid-week the temps dropped to feeling like fall here in Dayton! Yes! Break out the sweaters! At least for a day because it’s warming up again this weekend! But first, let me show you a simple way to layer up a cold shoulder top.
When the temps cooled off to below 70 this week I decided to layer up the cold shoulder button up that I was planning to wear to work that day. A knit vest is a perfect layering piece for this! Added warmth of the knit material but still showing off the shoulders a bit.
The vest pictured here is from Banana Republic purchased about seven years ago. (In the shop widget below I’ve linked up some similar styles currently for sale) I love this vest. It is one of those closet staples that I wear year after year.
I kept my outfit basic with black on black but added my favorite fall color by mixing in wine pumps. They are currently on sale, plus save and additional 26% off with code ZZFRI26 making them under $20. Girls, these little pumps are so comfortable. The padded footbed is amazing! Your feet will thank me!
I also want to talk about my slim pants for a second. They are from H&M and they are probably the best work style piece you can find for under $15! H&M usually stocks them in many colors. They are easy to iron, easy to wash and easy on the wallet!

I really love the color theme with the bold purple color. It really makes the whole outfit come together!
Love that pop of color in the shoes!
Can’t get enough of these shoes! So lovely! xo

I definitely like this layering aspect! Nicely done.
I’m all about vests when the weather cools off. Cozy enough to keep you warm, but not so much fabric that you overheat indoors. Gorgeous outfit!
