It’s still freezing here in Oregon
Nope, today I went with hot pink to keep me warm. Okay, yes, it’s probably not the color. It’s probably the fact that this dress (thrifted) is vintage and is appropriately acrylic. Acrylic, like many unnatural fibers, will often keep you warmer than you want to be. But, not today; today I needed to be very warm and this dress did the trick.
Especially layered under a wool-blend striped blazer (Halogen via Nordstrom) and over a silk slip and tights. I added black boots (Vince Camuto “Fantastic” via Nordstrom), silver and turquoise earrings and a wide, black belt. Because I am envious of the wide-belt-wearing skills of Chelsea
Color or fabrication, this hot pink dress totally kept me warm.
Happy Thursday, Everyone!

I am so in love with this. You look so good in that pink!
ReplyDeletegosh you look amazing! What a great color and silhouette this dress gives you! The striped blazer looks awesome with it and I love the entire outfit. Glad the fibre left you toasty warm. I know the feeling of beeing too hot in those materials, but sometimes they really do the trick of keeping you warm :)
ReplyDeleteI love this whole thing. I look at a lot of striped blazer and think I couldn't find a way to wear them but you make this look so effortless.
ReplyDeletethe blazer is most excellent with this dress. I've been struggling with a body chill this past week that seems to have nothing to do with the weather. Hope this comment isn't somehow contagious.
ReplyDeleteLooooove this outfit! It was a good one to wear during that cold spell last week - cozy and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI award this dress some finger-horns. You know what I mean. This outfit makes me want to go \m/ YEAHHHHHH.
ReplyDeleteOooh I love a wide belt shout out! Would you believe that pre-blog I never wore one EVER?! You're rocking the crap outta that black one in this look. And also hot pink plus b&w stripes is SO FANTASTIC. Finally... I love unnatural fibers when it's damn cold.
