So, I'm revamping my wardrobe tomorrow in advance of the Canadian Thanksgiving trip next week. G is taken care of, and I want to look good/reasonably fashionable. I also want to then thin down my wardrobe as well, so versatility is a must.
I'm mostly looking for tops. I have plenty of jeans (bought before getting pregnant, didn't get to wear most of them). I also have a pair of black tall boots that are my go to non-flip flop shoe in the winter/autumn, so flats are another thing I'm in the market for. Teach me layering ways, accessorizing, and the like. I'll probably also do a little shopping in Canada, so this will get good use.
Pictures of ideas are most welcome. I will add some after I shower.

I like more casual looks. With skinny jeans and boots, I like to layer either a t-shirt or a long sleeve t-shirt with a cardigan and scarf. I'll search Pinterest when I have a minute
pitdigger how cold does it get on the island? I know you are headed to Canada, I am just trying to gauge how much actual winter stuff you need.
Maybe mid-fifties, but damp. I don't generally need a bunch of winter-winter, but again, we might be headed to the Channel Islands in a couple of months, so having a couple of heavier things that aren't rugby hoodies would probably be good.

For damp chilly weather, I love a lighter leather or faux leather jacket. Not one of the heavy duty weighs 12 pounds when you put it on leather jackets, but a thin version. I have one from Dillard's that's faux leather in a nude color that's kinda like this
And I have a black and white letterman-style one from Wilsons Leather that I love. It keeps the damp off and cuts any wind, but I'm not sweating in it.

Everything @holachica said ^^^
I like layering with a black tank, a soft long knit, jeans, boots and a scarf.
Working in the fashion industry I learned that quality clothing really does last longer and look nicer. The clothes are cut and constructed differently. Every year I'll update my knit collection by one or two staples. I LOVE Joie and Soft Joie. The Soft line is more casual and affordable. You can google it and find their items on OffSaks, Nordstrom Rack and 6pm (where I found this):
