There are some summer dresses that can really only be summer dresses. Ones made of linen or covered in tie-dye, for example. But for the most part I think you can winterize pretty much anything. How do you winterize? Add some dark colors, tights, maybe some fur details or boots. Boom. Winterized. I wore this to a bridal shower earlier this month, so I was perfectly warm and comfortable once I was inside (and maybe had a few cups of punch, but that’s irrelevant).

This was what I wore on my last day of Thanksgiving vacation in South Carolina. I’d been holding off on posting this outfit and then I realized why: I’m wearing short sleeves and sunglasses because it was 70 degrees, and now that I’m back in Indiana that just seems unnatural. But in the spirit of Flashback Friday, I’m going to enjoy this memory of warmer days and let you file this away in your mental folder of outfit ideas for next spring.

And if you’re interested in getting felt up by Uncle Sam’s minions, I highly recommend wearing this shirt – which is covered in metal – through security at the airport. I may or may not be speaking from recent experience.
