[dress and jacket from H&M, shoes c/o Blowfish, bag by Chanel, gold bracelet c/o Kristin Hassan, snake ring c/o Courtney Kaye, gold ring from my Grandma, vintage necklace]
Shift dresses are my favorite. For years, they’ve provided me enough room to overeat throughout the day and maintain a high level of comfort. This time, I winterized the shift dress with some faux fur boots, basic jacket and some gold accessories, perfect for a day at work last week.
I bought the jacket from H&M which was coincidentally last summer on probably the hottest, most humid days in Chicago and I knew I had to snatch it up even though everyone else was purchasing bathing suits. I usually can’t think beyond what I need in the moment and am never the type to buy Christmas decorations the day after Christmas or buy anything out of season. Yet, this $29 coat yearned for my purchase and so I succumbed and am thankful six months later I have a super basic jacket to throw on.
I love that dress. The color and the texture is absolutely stunning. Great pics, as always! 🙂

Loving the shorter hair!! And a big yay for shift dresses – haha, the overeating part is a HUGE sell! 😉 But in all seriousness, I love the silhouette of this outfit/dress, the black coat is a beautiful staple & of course your choice of shoes and accessories just bring this outfit to a whole new level of beautiful!! xo V
… boots with the FURRRR …
I think I'll go listen to Flo Rida now.
Those boots are pretty cool looking.
LOVE! that dress is amazing and those boots are perfect! xo
buying items out of season is ideal…. unless, of course, the store has no air conditioning and you are trying on wool in blistering heat. yuck.
capacity to overeat is key… i love shirt dresses as well! this one is gorgeous on you.

You look ravishing as always. Especially love the ring and the boots.
I love everything about this… Especially the shot of the details, because the rings and necklace are amazing. I would wear that dress every day if I had it!! So maybe it's a good thing I don't 🙂

I really love that dress! I don't often find too many great things at H & M but I always love things other people find there. This dress is an example of that…

Gorgeous and stylish as always Andrea!
