Outside/Inside


Cardigan- Urban Outfitters, Dress-c/o Quail, Hat- c/o Threadsence, Clutch- Topshop, Belt-vintage, Shoes- c/o Lulus, Necklace- Beach Black for Urban Outfitters, Ring-Forever 21

I love getting dressed up for a party, but I hate covering up with drab winter clothes. Luckily, in California it's rarely that cold and I only need a few things to keep warm. This is my outside/inside look for a holiday party. I adore my royal blue dress from Quail. It's sure to stand out among a sea of little black dresses. To stay warm I threw on a long knit cardigan and my cozy Threadsence trapper hat. Typically I would wear tights, but my sparkly shoes looked best with bare legs. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in the name of fashion.

Very true, sometimes you do have to make sacrifices.
This is a beautiful dress and I love it with the sparkly necklace. Fab hat, I love these alpine inspired ones.
Happy new year!

I've been wanting that cardigan from Urban for awhile now, except in the burgandy color. It looks so amazing on you. I also love the pop of color peeking out from the dress you're wearing. All great things.

The dress is great by itself, would not wear it with this particular hat although you do look very warm and cozy!
