How to Take a Fall Dress into a Winter Outfit ♥

Hey Everyone!

During the fall sweater dress are staple to any girl’s wardrobe, but then came winter. Here’s different ways you can add other items to still continue to wear all your cute sweater dresses.  

This is a fun and affordable sweater dress that I have:

Urban Planet- approximately $30

Bold colours are important for the bland colder seasons like winter 2011. Contrary to past winters this winters collections thrive in brighter colours like crimson, neon orange, purple, sky blue, teal and others and many designers capture these eye-popping tones in daring combinations.

We all saw that during the spring plunging necklines were totally in. Many brands like Gucci captured this trend, but you have to be insane to wear a plunging neckline in the winter. This dress has a boat neck, it captures a much higher neck line compared to "the plunging neck" but it also vaguely plunges.

Black Levi's Skinny Jeans-
approximately $68

Another huge trend for this year is pattern on pattern. A lot of people consider this a huge fashion faux pas so if you’re not bold enough to rock this, you can certainly incorporate this trend minimally. Pairing a great pair of thick opaque knit black stockings can keep this outfit looking sleek and it also adds a little bit more pizazz to the whole look, and besides nothing screams winter like knit. If you are not feeling the stockings you can always wear a dark washed pair of jeans. Staying on the darker side for your jean wash will help tone down bright pieces and keep everything looking chic. You can even tuck the dress into the jeans for a 70's inspired look.

Belts can be a huge accessory to add to any outfit. There are many choices you can go with, skinny belts, thick belts, black belts, brown belts, blah blah blah. The great thing about belts are they can be utilized for your benefit, pairing a thicker belt with a tighter dress like this is advisable to really hide those extra pounds and synch in your waist, its like magic. You can also use different scarfs to spice up your outfit, they can protect your neck or head from cold winds but they are also super stylish. Here are two different scarfs that look great with this dress.

Lastly no outfit is complete without accessories. I would pair vintage-ecse jewelry with this sweater dress because of the browns and copper orange colours in the dress:

Copper Orange Scarf- approximately $20,
Belt from Costa Blanca- approximately $7

Teal Scarf- approximately $15,
Black Stocking- from PayLess approximately $9

Copper/ Orange Watch- was a present- approximately $20
Teal Bracelet from eBay- approximately $10

Stay Fabulous!
