It seems like the nastier the weather gets, the brighter my outfits become.  The last time I wore this skirt, it was a downright balmy 60s degrees.  This time around it’s about 30 degrees cooler and there’s a layer of gray slush on the ground.  I know I threaten to move to Florida every year around this time, but it’s starting to sound more and more attractive.

Back when over-the-knee boots were all the rage, I was intrigued but not really sure if they were practical for me.  So I scooped up a cheap-y pair at Forever 21 (for under $30, thank you very much) just to test the waters.  My instincts were correct, in that I’ve only worn them a handful of times.  I decided to give them another go yesterday, and I really like the way they work with this midi-length skirt.

Closet Confection: Slithering

I love my other snake print dress from H&M so much that I purchased a similar one.  The material and neckline make this version a little more relaxed, but it still works great for the office or for dinner and drinks.  Since this dress makes a pretty bold statement on its own, I decided to streamline my accessories: just a pair of gold hoops, my favorite bangle bracelets (which helped me overcome my aversion to mixing metals last year), and a simple chunky ring.
