My friend Sarah can rock a maxi dress like no other (think tall, blonde, gorg).  I, on the other hand, have to be super selective in finding a dress that doesn’t swallow me whole.  So when Sarah told me that maxi dresses don’t work in the winter, I set out to prove her wrong.

Granted, I use the term “winter” loosely, considering we live in Arizona. Nevertheless, the challenge inspired me to adapt a conventionally summertime dress for cooler weathers.  Layers are the obvious key to this transition and while I’m still sleeveless in November (75°F yesterday), a chunky cardigan or sweater would work just as well.  Love ya Sarah!

still rompin' around.

If you know me, you probably know how much I love rompers.  They’re playful, easy to wear, and can be dressed up or down for almost any occasion.  I love them so much that even a little cold weather isn’t going to stop me from rompin’ around.  To make it work for fall, pick a romper in a deeper hue and pair it with warmer items like cardigans and flats.

lookbook love.

It should come as no surprise that I’m a J.Crew aficionado.  Although brutal on the wallet, this American brand is definitely easy on the eyes.  Each piece can serve as a sophisticated foundation to any outfit on its own, but styled together, they form unexpected combinations of preppy flare, cozy layers, and colorblocking.  I’m totally ready to take on the cold weather with inspiration like this!
