I know I always sound like a broken record this time of the year, but I really am soooo over winter!  We got a brief hint of spring last weekend when the temps climbed to a steamy 50 degrees (hence the nude stockings in these photos), but we were quickly snapped back to reality when the temps plummeted back below freezing this week.  Ahhh, c’est la vie!

At least I have a new dress to cheer me up.  Speaking of which, I’m kind of in love with it.  The contrasting pleats remind me of a cheerleader’s uniform, plus they make pretty cool twirling effects (not that I would know first hand, of course).  And since it seems like I’ve been wearing black and dark colors all week, I decided to throw in a touch of color with red accessories.

    I love the stripes and the inverted pleats with the contrast. Lovely, and gorgeous red pointies to top it off. The red belt and bag are perfect with it. I say this: go ahead and twirl, you look awesome.
    And yes, this weather is for the birds..
