It may still be 80 degrees in Miami, but Yula Tan has perfected a way to incorporate layering without risking a heat stroke. Using a mini black dress as the base for her look, she makes things a little more interesting by adding a long, loosely-fitted shrug in a deep royal red. The shrug is subtle yet bold, sexy but classy, and her adorable bright red loafers add just the right amount of personality to take her look to the next level. The two-toned, rustic leather tote confirms Yula’s eye for aesthetic detail. The international finance student spends wisely at her most adored shopping establishment J.Crew, where she leans towards colorful sweaters and jackets to layer with. When asked about her outfit’s admiration for red, Yula claimed it as “truly the perfect color.” Giving us a response as simple and charming as her outfit, Yula leaves us feeling content and full of style insight.

Need a lesson on layering? Go to none other than the layering queen herself, Leandra Medine from The Man Repeller for a great how-to on transitioning you summer threads to fall worthy looks. Thank me later.
