Lexie Smith, a student and former model, wears a heavily layered look that she keeps from looking overwhelming by remaining in a neutral palatte. She wears a jersey H&M dress under a satin pleated tube top from Club Monaco that she wears as a puffy skirt, a bag from Italy, and a lacy H&M bra worn visibly underneath, with a vintage necklace. “I try to screw with the silhouette. I layer things to make the textures move around, but in an understated way, because I’m too lazy to try too hard.”
