OOTD: Baby It's Cold Outside

I've told you that I live in a beautiful place right?? Well, if I haven't I'm telling you now.  

The problem is, we have snow here for about six months out of the year.  

Not the kind of snow that melts the next day either, nope the kind of snow that stays, and piles up.

The kind of snow that makes massive snow banks, covers our roads and houses, and makes us bundle up in LAYERS of clothing.  

So, one of the things that I've gotten pretty good at is making my summer clothing work in the winter.

Take Maxi dresses for example, they're beautiful in the summer right??

Well, you can make them work in the winter too.


Pair it with a cardi, boots, and a belt.


Maybe a chunky necklace.


And you're all set.

So tell me, do you wear your clothes all season or do you have certain clothes that you only wear certain times of the year?  

Or are you one of those fortunates that always gets to see the sun? And if so, do you have an extra bedroom??

Don't forget to enter the giveaway that I have going on until next week either and check out Helen's blog, she's so sweet, if you don't you're missing out!!

Happy Shopping!!

  1. I try my best to wear my clothes year round. I live in Ohio which means the snow (or as some like to call it White Death) is coming and it will be here until about March or April. Pulling out a Spring/Summer dress and pairing it with tights and booties does seem to make those drab Winter days a little brighter!

  6. LOVE the maxi dress. Living in England you can't really count on the weather at all!! I do have separate autumn/winter and spring/summer wardrobes (not that I have two! The other seasons closes go under my bed!). I do still keep long and short sleeve cardis in my wardrobe though throughout the year, just in case! Thanks for the shout out girly!! xo

  19. This Necklace is really pretty and I love also the outfit.

    I have some clothes that I wear the whole year and I have things that I only wear at the summer or winter season. But for wearing clothes I like the summer season more with the pants, dresses, skirt and everything :)

    Thank you for your comment on my "Friday Favorites" Post <3
