Posies and Warm Toe-sies

This outfit can sort of defy seasons. I originally wore it toward the end of spring, but I can see it being worn on a colder summer day, or a warmer fall day. On top it appears to be beach season, and on the bottom it seems to be time to curl up by the fire. But I figure, if people once got away with mini skirts and Ugg boots, I can get away with this. Furthermore, the colors in the dress aren't overly bright so I think it works. I also love all the textures going on in this outfit--the light, soft rayon of the dress, the rough denim of the jacket, the shiny smooth leather of the purse, the textured leather of the boots, and the warm wool of the knee-highs. It's a really cute and flirty outfit to wear out to lunch with friends or even a casual date.

Orange you glad?

I'm definitely a summer girl, but if I can't have the sun keeping my skin warm, then there's nothing like a snugly sweater and scarf to do the job. The comfort of these pieces, combined with the warmth of the colors makes me feel almost as if it is toasty outside. I'm a firm believer that being warm and comfortable doesn't mean you have to look frumpy. This outfit has plenty of pizzazz from the orange of the sweater, and it goes great with my favorite leopard print scarf. Although it's a bold print, the browns of the scarf actually help to neutralize the orange if you tend to shy away from such bright colors. Distressed jeans and neutral color slouchy cowboy boots are also a great addition to a sassy but simple outfit.
