{H&M Dress, Hue Tights, Michael Kors Shoes via eBay ($20 brand new!)}

I recognize that I look kind of ridiculous in these photos, but truth be told, it was ABSOLUTELY FREEZING when we snapped these pics. Dancing around was all I could do to keep my teeth from chattering the entire time. My schedule this week has been packed with holiday gatherings, and I thought this cute little trapeze dress was the perfect festive getup. I wasn’t sure what shoes/tights combo to pair it with, but then I searched through my archives for some inspiration (one of the benefits of running a personal style blog!), and I ran across this number that I wore back in March. BOOM – instant outfit!

{Miss Sixty Coat  (similar), H&M Sweater, Romeo & Juliet Couture Leggings via HauteLook (similar), Boots thrifted via Beacon’s Closet, Girl Props Sunglasses  (here and here), Imported Cltuch via eBay (tons of auctions here, or splurge on the real deal here), H&M Ring, gifted La Mer Collection Watch}

As the temps continue to plummet, it seems like big cozy sweaters are all I want to wear.  Don’t let the sunshine and blue skies in these photos fool you… it’s COLD out there!  To help chase away some of my winter blues, I decided to have a little fun with accessories in this outfit.  As you may have noticed, this shocking shade of pink has become something of a signature color for me this season.  So it was only natural for me to include this watch and scarf in my ensemble.  I won this magnificent little knuckle-duster clutch on an eBay auction (for $0.01!*) a while back, and I couldn’t wait to take it for a spin when it arrived in the mail.

*Plus an additional $20 for S&H

Can I just say that I love, love, love the vintage feel of this outfit?  Something about it made me stand a little taller (something other than the 4 inch heels!) and walk a little straighter.  Outfits like these are what I look forward to the most each fall…

Unfortunately, the weather has crept up to over 80 degrees the past few days.  And I’m wearing a sundress and sandals as I type this post. Ha!
