pretty much always wear dresses because pants are weird on me. I just wasn’t built to be a trouser gal. So I have an enormous collection of dresses that I wear pretty much all year round. There’s a bit of fine art to wearing summer dresses in winter and not all summer dresses are appropriate so here’s my 101 on how to wear a summer dress in winter…
Dress from Melko Melbourne
Boots from Merchant Melbourne
Wrap cardigan from Zhai Singapore
Tights from Kathmandu
Rings from Rose St Artists Markets, Byron Bay and Thailand
Earrings from Thailand, coin necklace from my grandfather
Tips
* Wear the warmest tights you can get. These are merino tights and they’re super toasty! They’re just from Kathmandu and I bought on them on sale for $60. I originally bought them for camping but I’ve been wearing them in real life too because they’re so comfy and warm.
* Dress in layers. I have a thermal top on underneath my dress, as well as my standard shape wear slip dress. Super warm and toasty!
* Go hard core on warm socks. If my feet are cold, my whole body is cold. I love stealing Mr Smaggle’s explorer socks and I fully intend on buying some of my own some day… for real.
