I wear dresses so much less in the winter months, but I’m really making an effort to include them more in my cold-weather wardrobe this year. I’ve found that layering sweaters over sleeveless styles (like this one) & adding tights makes them completely wearable, even on the coldest of days. This is my new favorite combination – not only because of the fun mix of prints, but the cheery yellow hue is a welcome change from all the dark/neutral shades I’ve been gravitating towards this season.
What I’m wearing:
Pim & Larkin dress (worn as skirt; on sale here), French Connection sweater (via TJ Maxx; similar here or here), gifted Zara coat, Merona tights (here), RoseGold booties (via eBay; similar), Ann Taylor hat (here), Zara bag, Bracelets: Vintage & Forever 21 (similar), Nails: Essie Little Brown Dress

Such an adorable outfit! I too started wearing my summer dresses with a wintery layer over-top. It's such a great way to continue to get use out of some summer pieces.

I am absolutely horrible about wearing some dresses in the winter because they aren't warm enough! I need to learn from you!
Really cute look, love the jacket.

Love.this.look. Can't wait to try it out with some mustard pants I have. It seems unexpected buy works so well.
I love that coat!!!! Super gorgeous!
How lovely is this ensemble today! You look completely chic yet totally warm. Your accessories really are the icing on the cake. I also always tend to go for more "done" hats but your simple one is very elegant because of the styling. Excellent job.
Very well done layering! I love the print mix and pop of color for the winter.
Chic on the Cheap
One of my favorites!! Love the color/pattern combination so much! And, you look too cute in a little beanie. 🙂
You always look so fabulous, love it!! I also have trouble wearing dresses in the winter. Ugh. Only a few more months.

I saw a sneak peek of this on instagram and was already in love – now in full I love it even more! I love how you always take classic silhouettes and give them an eeever so slightly edgy spin. The mustard yellow and leopard are perfect together – definitely a pairing I'll keep in mind when styling my next outfit!

OBSESSED with that leopard coat! This look is perfection!
Love, love, LOVE that coat & it looks great on you!!
You always have on the greatest shade of red lipstick. What is it? I always get one home and it ends up being too orange.
Miss E,
The shade I'm wearing here is actually a reddish orange, but if you're looking for a red with more blue undertones, L'Oreal Target Red is a great choice! 🙂
