As August comes to an end (I’m not ready to let go of summer, you guys), in come the joys of layering. Although I’m not totally convinced it’s not the fashion industries way of making us spend more and more money, I’m all about staying warm in the cool summer evenings.

I’m throwing it back today to earlier this Spring (wind-back Wednesdays anyone??) when I wore this bright pink blazer, which has totally been a staple this summer. The key to layering in summer is focusing on bright colors and light layers.

I’m also teaming up with a few other fab bloggers to share their layering style. I love Jalpa's shorts with metallic shoes and Amanda's sweet jean jacket! Check them out below - what’s your favorite way to layer up in the summer?!

On Julien: J.Crew Factory dress (love this similar one on sale!), Vince Camuto blazer (similar), Nordstrom scarf (dying over this colorful option), C.Wonder bracelet (similar), Capwell+Co ring (similar), Candies heels (on sale for $24!) borrowed, DKNY purse (similar) and Michael Kors sunnies.

I think we’ve discussed how I was a little unsure about the denim trend earlier in the season (I was SO awkward in the 90's, you guys. Bad memories.) But now I literally can’t stop wearing it. In fact, for this month’s style challenge from 2 Girls in 2 Cities, I decided to wear TWO denim trends, a vest and my favorite white jeans. I may or may not be an overachiever.

I’m also digging the other outfits from the other super cute bloggers in this series. The denim blazer from Jill is great for adding a bit of fun to office attire (and that floral skirt is adorable.) Jennie is on point with her white jacket with all black ensemble and Amanda is killin it in her camp pants/jean jacket combo. Thanks to Lisa, I just realized I NEED a pair of light denim for summer.

Check out how I styled my denim faves and check out the other girls who did the challenge too! What’s your favorite way to sport denim?
