Tops
Layer one on top of intimates on top
Graphic Tees are my go to and they are either Pink Floyd, Star Trek Live Long & Prosper, or West Virginia Cryptids/Space/History.
Men's Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Album Cover Art Graphic Tee
During the Fall and Winter a sweatshirt is a must, but they also are great as a layering piece when out hiking or biking in Spring or Summer. This one has some shimmer in the heart which I Love!
Women's Paintbrush Stroke Heart Sparkle French Terry Long Sleeve Tee
For business meetings or hot days where I want to look slightly more put together a tailored no-sleeve blouse is the winner.
Timeson 100% Polyester Blue Sleeveless T-Shirt Size XL - 31% off
You could call me a Trekkie although I have yet to attend a convention. If I am not wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt this is the other one I could be wearing.
Star Trek: The Original Series Live Long & Prosper Deltas Adult Short Sleeve T-Shirt
A hoodie is the best thing if you are wanting that extra bit of head protection when needed. They also look pretty good under a wool blazer.

Bottoms
Layer on bottom on top of bottom intimates.

Earl Jeans is no longer around, but they are my favorite jeans and these are my favorite style. I grab them anytime they are on sale used.
Earl Jeans Womens Sz 14 Straight Cuff Denim Mid Rise Blue
These are the leggings I wear on non-jeans days and when traveling. Lot more comfortable than jeans when sitting for long periods.
Women's Simply Vera Vera Wang High-Rise Faux Leather Shaping Leggings
Boyfriend crop jeans with a bit of bling are always fun! These are on the expensive side, but I get excited when I find this brand and similar style secondhand.
Pearl Brooch Boyfriend Relaxed Cropped Jeans
Jackets
The final clothing layer
My favorite way to top off my outfit is with a menswear blazer. I normally find them gently used at second hand shops or online second hand, but occasionally I will spend a bit more on new if I think it will last.
Women's Menswear Blazer, Created for Macy's
When it is too chilly for only my layers: Graphic T, sweatshirt, blazer this is my go to topper to keep me cozy and warm.
Womens Simply Vera Vera Wang Coats & Jackets
This is my ultimate goto topper to stay warm and is the perfect final layering piece.

A good wool blazer can go a long way in your wardrobe. Especially if you are creating your own capsule collection.

Footwear
Putting your best foot forward should also be comfortable
Combat boots are my go to for most days. Especially during colder weather. These have some bling which makes them fun.
Nine West Hediy Round Toe Lace-Up Women's Ankle Boots
When not wearing combat boots a good pair of slip on Chucks are my second favorite footwear choice.
Women's Converse Chuck Taylor Shoreline Slip-On Shoes
Third choice for footwear are these loafers. They go with everything and can be dressed up or down.
ARON BLACK Loafers | Women's Rhinestone Loafers
Almost last choice are some rhinestone cowboy boots. These are fun for concerts or celebrations, but I also wear them anytime I am channeling Dolly Parton.
DALAS RHINESTONES Cowboy Boot | Rhinestone Western Boots
My final footwear item is a good pair of
shoes for walking, hiking, or biking.
