~wearing dresses in the winter~

Back in the day before I had kids I had

a closet full of nice, dressy clothes and 

only TWO pairs of jeans.

No kidding. Two.

I never wore jeans.....not even on the weekends.

That feels like a lifetime ago.

I probably own about 7 or 8 pairs of jeans now

and wear jeans the majority of the time.

But you know what?

I still love dressing up and I LOVE wearing 

dresses and skirts. Now that I'm not nursing

anymore I've got back into the practice

of wearing dresses. (It's much easier to

wear a dress when you don't have to lift

up the whole damn thing in order to get

to your boobs. NOT A PRETTY SITE!) 

I pretty much stop wearing 

dresses all together when I nurse for this reason.

 

Here's two dresses that are on my wardrobe radar

right now:  

    

      This orange and white striped halter dress is 

super light and comfy......two different ways to

accessorize it. One with black accents and

the other with silver and leather accents. I actually

wore the black version with black leggings

because it has been bitter cold in our neck of the woods.    

I haven't actually worn this yet but when I do, 

this is how I'll do it. Again, the little denim jacket

with my 'ol cowboy boots. 

Even though it seems as if you can only wear

a dress one way, I actually feel like they

are quite versatile..... depending on how   

you style and accessorize them.

I will wear both these dresses in the summer

with sandals and my big sun hat. 

 Throw some boots and a jacket over your dresses gals!

Just because it's winter doesn't mean we have to 

look like a "Stay Puff marshmallow" in our winter gear.
