Layering is one of the 5 key principles of light travel.  The Road Warriorette uses this principle  to wear skirts over dresses.  It works best in the winter months, when a little extra warmth is nice.  She gives the following tips on wearing this look:

• Have the dress be a different material than the skirt
• Have the dress be narrower than the skirt
• Have the dress be shorter than the skirt
• This look works better with a structured skirt as opposed to a skirt that clings

This style works especially well if you have narrower hips.  I have a hard time wearing this look, as I have wider hips.  I prefer wearing various tops over my dress to get more outfits.  Stay tuned for discussion of that topic in a future post.
