7 days of Dresses: 2nd Winter Edition

March 10, 2023 /

As spring nears, I become bored with wearing jeans and sweaters and get excited once again to wear dresses. Our weather in Georgia has mostly been mild this winter but I haven’t worn dresses that very often. So I decided to wear dresses for a week once again as I had in this post earlier this winter and here are the outfits I enjoyed wearing this go around. Once again, I am sharing some friends who joined in, of course including Jodie once again more as well as Cathie, Grace and Debi.

Spring/Summer Dresses

My favorite dresses are probably my maxi dresses. Both of these are thrifted and I really do think they might just be my favorites at the moment. The first one is a recent buy and I will show it in more detail on Monday without a topper. But on this one Sunday, it was nice to winterize it with an old fun cardigan and some booties.

This colors in the next dress are brighter and I pulled the mustard and pink with my earrings and sweater. I added a belt to tuck the sweater up to create better proportions.

Debi from a A Beautiful Second Act created an outfit with similar vibes and I really like all of the tan accents. I love the print of that dress!

Adding layers over and Under

I wore this outfit on a cool Saturday and since it was a little cold and since this dress is shorter, I added my navy leggings and a tank and a jacket. I really liked wearing this dress again.

Brights for Winter

Living in different states, we all wear different things because our weather is very different. I absolutely love this gorgeous dress that Cathie is wearing! If you are not following her on IG, here is her profile!

My mustard dress might not be the brightest but I feel like the color is appropriate year round and can be adapted to each season. I thrifted the belt recently with this dress in mind and my shoes are also a thrift find but from a year or so ago.

The dress below was definitely a spring like dress for a day as warm as spring. A great clearance find at TJmaxx for $8 paired with items from my closet. February was a good month for not spending any money but giftcards/gift money and money earned. I have found that I can get a $5 giftcard for TJmaxx for every 4800 points earned on the Fetch grocery app which is much better than getting a $3.00 gift card to Amazon for 3500 points.

Grace from Graceful Rags wore a cute dress with a great royal blue jacket despite some colder weather in Denver.

Winter Dresses

I was actually too hot in my plaid dress by afternoon but I really want to wear this dress one more time. I have found so many ways to wear it, over jeans, as a jacket, with different shoes.. It is so versatile! Here it is with cowboy boots.

My mom gave me the dress below, I thrifted my Caite and Kyla shirt from Poshmark a couple years ago and my booties are from Target a few seasons ago. Put them all together and you have a mild winter look that looks pretty coming and going! I used a belt to tuck the shirt in and keep it in place.

I had so much fun wearing and sharing my dresses 7 days in a row! I have found that coming up with some themes for myself helps me creative, keeps me from wanting to shop and helps me wear all the things. After this, I wore blazers for a few days followed by a week of skirts!

And talking about fun, isn’t this cute outfit of Jodie fun? She pulled up the dress to create better proportions and this teal mix printing is on point!

A bientôt!
