With all the ridonculously cold weather we had the first half of January (before it turned 50 degrees and rainy for a week… #onlyinIndiana), I had to get creative with layering. I really liked how this came out, so I re-created it and took photos when it was dry and above freezing for about 10 minutes over the weekend.

Without the belt, this is straight up old bag lady feeding pigeons in the park. (My purse is filled with tuppins.) But it’s amazing what a waist and a little leopard can do. My bottom half stayed cozy thanks to fleece tights, plus black socks hiding under my boots.

Did you miss Frocktober yesterday?! I never said I’d wear dresses every day this month, just most days. 🙂 Wearing this burnt orange dress is pretty much like dressing as a fall leaf. If this dress could sing, it would be like: “I’m bringin’ autumn back (yeah), your photosynthesis don’t know how to act (yeah).

The only challenge to this dress is the super low-cut neckline. I’ve layered a tank underneath before, but that just seems kind of boring. I got more creative this time and layered a sleeveless button-up shirt underneath. I wasn’t sure it would work but it kind of looks like it was part of the dress all along!
