Part 2!
It’s been a while, but don’t worry, I’m on a role again. This dress is definitely a summer dress as you can see from the bright colours and print, however, by layering over a bright long sleeve and long leggings, I’ve again transformed this summer dress into a winter dress. One awesome plus about transforming your summer dress into winter wear, is the bright colour that you’ll be sporting all day long. Instead of black, grey, or beige, you’ll be a pop of colour on a dismal day. And believe me, that’s a pretty sight! It’ll brighten and lighten your mood too.
Oh yes, in this outfit, I used a scarf to add a bit of warmth and style. I’ve been living in scarves all throughout winter – not quite literally, but just about every outfit I wear sports a scarf. A guy I know was trying to sum up my style and said, “Oh yeah, you always wear scarves.” Which is true of the winter but not of summer. But that revelation is rather sad, as I don’t own a great variety of scarves… Lydia does, but not me.
Of course, where would I be without my old faithful – my awesome navy blazer from Ezibuy! Seriously girls, I’ve been wearing this a lot, and it’s been perfect for many of outfits. Navy was a great colour to choose, as it’s not the usual black that I often wear… yet it’s still a rather neutral/universal colour and matches with many of my clothes. If you can find a great staple piece of clothing like this, you’ll be right. 🙂
Enjoy and I hope that these last two post have been helpful and given you some new ideas for economic and stylish dressing.
Thanks Rhesa for taking and editing these photos! The day that we took these was dismal and grey, so our previous ideas of outside photography went out the window. Rhesa proved to be the creative one in finding inside locations. There was a short dry spot in which we took these photos (above)… but it started spitting, so I ended that outside shoot by throwing the petals of my poor rose into the air. (Just cause I thought you’d all want to know that) 😉
Blessings, have an awesome week!

Layering is great. Not only does it kick any dress up a notch, given the historic upper class associations of layering, but it also makes dresses like this summery one more versatile. The navy blazer was a great addition.
