Winter Sunshine

(Hat: Gift from the boyfriend, Cardigan: Thrifted, Dress: Vintage, Socks: Forever 21, Oxfords: Le Bunny Bleu)

Maybe it's just the winter blues...but I've been missing summer lately. There is no snow here this year and instead it's just been sad, grey clouds almost all of the time. I can't wait to start wearing dresses and sandals again, and soaking up the sun! Of course I can still wear summery clothes and make it work for winter! I thought I would try the sock-over-tights trick with this look and I really love how it looked. The pattern on the socks are so cute and I think it really contrasts well against the black. And how cute are socks with oxfords?? I really couldn't resist ;)
I will eventually be selling this dress once I get the measurements for it, so those of you who love it as well...stay posted! 
Have a wonderful weekend all of you...and HELLO NEW FOLLOWERS! :)

    Great layering as always!
    The socks look great against the tights, and the oxfords are the perfect shoes for your dress. :) Haha, love the hat as well!
    Man, this lame winter weather must be everywhere. It's just grey and cold, but no snow!

    I miss summer, too! The weather here is crazy. One minute, it's snowing and the next, it's sunny and warm. Very unusual. Anyways, you look lovely! I adore your hat and oxfords. So cute.

    I adore your oxfords and socks and the tights make it wearable with your dress for winter and lets face it no one LOVES being cold. Want to trade places? I am completely tired of the sun, bring on the rain and clouds I say!

    Completely remarkable as ever, beautiful outfit.

    Love Alexandra
