I am a true procrastinator. Because nothing motivates me more than a looming deadline! With spring right around the corner, I put together a bunch of cold-weather looks for my readers up north that I'll be posting over the next week or so. I absolutely love this one. I originally purchased this dress as a summer dress (see it here), so it's great to see how versatile it can be, and that it looks just as good with tights and red blazer for a chilly night out! (Also, please excuse the little wrinkle in my hemline. I am in serious need of a steamer and will be purchasing one asap like a good little blogger.) Are you still rocking winter fashion, or is spring in full bloom in your closet?

...spring in full bloom?" It's actual temperature 20 degrees right now but w/windchill (feel's like) temp of 7 degrees, it will be a long time until spring shows up! Loving the cool weather outfits!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm craving Spring weather, but I love, love, love this look! We've had a few days in the 70's lately, but who knows how many cooler days we'll have to enjoy some last minute cool weather ensembles.
ReplyDeletebeautiful look!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! That red blazer is the perfect shade of red too! Do they still have it on MJR?
ReplyDeleteI love Victoria Secret clothes, but they are so expensive!!!
I can't wait to transition to spring weather, but winter keeps popping its nasty head back in! But I'm sure you know how finicky Kansas weather can be! Thursday it was 70, Friday it snowed (briefly). Unlike people around me, I dress for the (predicted) weather around me. Even if that means I'm wearing a grey sweater and black pants one day and a cobalt skirt and pink blouse the next!
ReplyDeletePip, MJR is unpredictable - I would definitely look to see if they have it, but they usually only get a handful of any specific piece so might be hard to find! I've got my fingers crossed for ya ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad someone can get some good use out of this and my other cold weather outfits coming up! It's 90 degrees in Orlando today. Already feels like summer! (boo)
ReplyDeleteI certainly do know finicky Kansas weather! :-) I love that you dress for the weather, that is a great strategy in my book!
ReplyDeleteThank you for thinking of us northern gals. We won't see spring weather til April. Can't wait for the tulips and cherry blossom trees to start blooming. Until then, it's still boot and coats for us.

This would have been a great Vday outfit too!
ReplyDeleteYep, they definitely don't have it anymore! LOL! Oh well... I like the website, but not a fan of much of the stuff they have on there. I definitely will check back though to see if they get any good finds up my alley. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of us northerners. It was a mild winter so here's hoping we get to jump into spring! But we still have chilly mornings and windy days so these outfits will provide great inspiration to get us through the awkward winter-spring hump. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI loooove polka dots!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit.

Love this look.. So funny because I too have been trying to get my last bit of wear out of my winter stuff before spring kicks all the way in!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great combo! I was excited to take out my "cold weather clothes" one last time this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! It kind of reminds me of something Zooey Deschenel would wear! I love how you combined the red belt with the red blazer too-- so cute!
ReplyDeleteI just got some tights like that on clearance. Thanks for reminding me that I need to wear them soon!
