Listen up, ladies. Leah Rosenblum ’14 has your answer for Mother Nature’s winter wrath. Pairing a pink knit sweater, pastel skirt, and solid stockings with a utilitarian-inspired coat, Leah managed to manipulate seasonal pieces into the perfect library look. Outsmarting Pittsburgh’s sporadic temperatures and Hillman’s unpredictable barometer reading, Leah introduced us to fall fashion’s secret weapon: layers, layers, and more layers!

The fun thing about this trend, and one of my favorite aspects of fashion in general, is that there are NO RULES. You can pair your dad’s old sweater with a skater skirt, knee-highs, and your trusty combat boots, or throw an over-sized button down over that thrift store find and your nostalgically embellished All Stars! Think of it as channeling Anna Wintour’s keen sense of style with Drake’s revolutionary mantra.

Next time Mother Nature’s waffly temperament has you questioning your sartorial senses, look to layers for a fashionable solution.

Remember, with layers, whatever you say goes! Who wouldn’t be a fan of that logic?
