Seasonal Transitions





One of the major challenges of being a Florida Fashionista comes around the Winter season. I yearn for the super fabulous fur boots, cozy sweaters, and silky scarves (let me clarify that I don't yearn for the weather just the fashion!). But should I really spend money on an entirely new winter wardrobe? Unfortunately, the answer is no. A cold front for a week in January makes it difficult for me to justify winter purchases. Admittedly, I've had the same sweaters for about 8 years now..sad..I know. To overcome this challenge, I've figured out a few tricks to make my summer and spring outfits more wintery. For this ensemble I exchanged my summer sandals and floppy hat for a long-sleeved shirt, scarf, tights, boots and voila! It’s like I’m not even a Floridian…okay, that might be a stretch.

Fashion Tip: Toss a long-sleeved shirt and sweater over that light summer dress to transform your look into a new winter outfit. Don’t be shy about using your floral dresses either!








What I’m Rockin’:
Sandals – Purchased in Puerto Rico
Floppy hat – Bijoux Terner
Shirt – Target
Scarf  - Bijoux Terner
Tights – Target
Boots – Charlotte Russe
Necklace – Tiffany’s
Dress – Heavenly Couture

  1. I love this post! Couldn't agree more!

    It's sometimes a challenge to dress "winterized" in a warm climate (I also live in Florida) add in blogging and it can become frustrating. I think this is a perfect example of how to dress warm when it's chilly in a warmer state.

    Oh great post! I have been bored with my closet, and I definitely need to play around with my summery clothes more.

  5. And.....I have to wonder what is this 'cold' front...like 50? Love the hat and the way you 'winterized' that dress :D

  7. This is an awesome transition! The dress is perfect on it own or as a skirt. I agree with you its hard to justify buying winter clothes when we barely get to wear them. I have a sweater or two that I literally worn once because its just never cold enough!
