So we took these photos literally three days ago on Friday. And here we are Monday morning, everything is covered in snow! I’d glady teleport back to Friday, no only to do the whole weekend over again, but moreso to enjoy the double digit weather we had. Incredible how we can go from pre-summer temperature to snow in just 2 days. Welcome to the bipolar climate that we know as Toronto/GTA weather.

As much as I’m not looking forward to the winter weather, on the bright side of things this vintage tweed coat is pretty warm so it may help to make mild winter days less miserable with its bright colour and enveloping warmth. I should also point out that I am wearing two summer dresses here: a sheer lace dress worn over a simple white fitted summer dress. Could you tell?

Have any of you had your first snow fall yet? Are you looking forward to it, or looking for a place to hibernate like me?

Dress c/o Free People. Oversize scarf, Zara. Top, Joe Fresh. Bag c/o Pinkstix. Boots, Ralph Lauren (Winners).

We’ve been lucky the past two weeks with unseasonably warmer temperatures. So warm in fact, that I was able to wear my Free People tunic as a dress. Might I add, without the need for a) leggings or b) overcoat or jacket. And believe me, the blanket scarf wasn’t really needed either, but I had planned it for this look. Along with a long knit overcoat which I forgot to grab to work the morning of. Which in the end worked out because I probably wouldn’t have worn it anyways. I had been planning on transitioning this summer tunic into my Fall wardrobe anyways. Although I had planned on wearing the Free People tunic over tights or pants – I guess those looks will have to wait. But I am not complaining about being able to wear this short number bare legs and all….mid November.

Layering has hit new levels of chic with slip dresses going over long sleeve tees and even chunky knits. With that said, what a fabulous yet warm way to continue getting wear out of slip dresses in the fall and winter. And don’t be afraid to layer this look over pants or jeans, as this will provide lots of fun options to play around with when it’s cooler outside. Likewise to stay warm I opted to wear mine with a biker jacket. Although I did debate over a long chunky knit, in the end I went with the biker jacket. Because I just cannot resist that rough and edgy vibe mixed with a delicate feminine look. And what about you, are you planning on wearing your slip dress this Fall? What are you going to layer your slip dress with?
