It's time to think about wrapping up warm.
Summer is slipping away and waistlines are expanding (or is that just mine?) in readiness for the colder months.
It's all about those layers baby!
However.
Layers don't have to be lumpy and frumpy.
Layer up but keep it Fashion Darling!
(Blatantly Obvious Disclaimer: There's no 'high fashion' to be found here.... but plenty of 'personal style'!)

In my opinion, no matter the scores on the doors (whether you're age 17 or 77)... this outfit would look appropriate.
Classic but quirky.

I don't ever want you to feel like you have to SHOP in order to recreate (or be inspired by) ANY outfit you see here at Fake Fabulous Style.
Make this your own without shopping.
Let's start with the basics....
Jeans.
Easy!
You can wear whatever style suits your body and makes you feel good.
If you need to make a turn up to show off a shoe/sock combination then go for it.
A turned up jean lengthens the leg and adds a little bit of sass.
The striped knit can be swapped for any colour or style that you have.
Pick a similar colour for your under-layer and if your knitted piece has sleeves that are full length push them up, pulling the under layer down to create an interesting layered look.
Any chunky shoe would look great, as long as you can see a peep of sock-action!
The hot pink coat could be swapped for any colour you love, or blazer/long cardigan if your climate allows.
Accessories with a bit of humour about them work well but anything that makes YOU smile is the thing to wear.
Let me know if you'll be recreating this look YOUR WAY.
