THE STYLE Rx: You can utilize your summer shift and slip dresses year round with some easy style tricks. Just remember to have fun and wear it with confidence!

LAYER A SWEATER/TOP UNDER YOUR DRESS
Statements sleeves are everywhere, and this is a fabulous way to show them off! Above, I’m wearing a bell sleeve sweater under my shift dress for a tonal black and white look. You could even wear an off the shoulder top under a sleeveless dress to create a cold shoulder look (as shown in this picture of me with gal pal, Holland). For a simple and minimal approach, wear a tissue or ribbed turtleneck under a dress.

WEAR A DENIM JACKET (AS AN OFF THE SHOULDER TOP)
You can get creative with any jacket (or top for that matter) by wearing them differently than intended. I wore my denim jacket as an off the shoulder top layer but buttoning it partially, pulling the shoulders down, and pulling up the sleeves. I’ve seen this same trick done with bomber jackets! Have you tried this?

COVER YOUR LEGS WITH OVER THE KNEE BOOTS
You’re running late! You haven’t shaved! NO WORRIES! This is a style secret that I use ALL THE TIME! Cover your gams with boots! Here, I’m wearing over-the-knee boots because my dress is short, but the same would apply to knee-high boots. The trick is to make sure there is some skin showing (at least an inch) so that it doesn’t look like you have leather or suede boot legs! LOL!

WEAR A FUR JACKET
This is really simple. You just throw on a fur jacket over your dress. I usually wear boots/booties to balance out the fluffiness of the jacket on top. Voila! You’re instantly glamorous and look super chic!

What other tricks do you use to wear a dress in Winter? I always want to try some new ones!
Happy Wednesday Y’all! Holy Moly! It’s been SO COLD here in Fort Worth! It was 16 degrees when I was driving to the GYM this morning! Anyhow, I’m trying to play catch up again. Is it bad if we still have Christmas decorations out?! LOL! Plus, I have to go find a computer charger at the Apple Store. I left mine at the hotel in Las Vegas, and they haven’t been able to locate it. I was gone from Friday until Sunday, and I felt like the kids grew more in just those three days! Baby Girl is talking all kinds of gibberish but in full on conversations with me. She’s speaking her own language! Little M is just getting so independent (and then not on some days bc he still wants to be a baby). How time flies!
Thank you so much for stopping by and supporting SOS! I truly appreciate it!
