Wearing a Summer Swing Dress in a Winter Wonderland
Dress c/o* | Cardigan (Similar) | Scarf (Similar) | Bag c/o* | Heels (Also available here) | Tights | Beret
I love restyling my summer clothes for the winter! This polka dot swing dress is just too much fun to twirl in to have it sitting in my closet during the cold, winter months. So, I layered the living daylights out of it with a cardigan, scarf, tights and gloves and a beret! (Hopefully, you all aren’t tired of the beret yet…because I’m still obsessed.)
This dress is actually a halter dress. Which, I’m sorry, I love you guys…but I wasn’t about to take my cardigan and scarf off to show the halter portion. I swear I’ll feature it again once it warms up.
A couple of things to note about this dress, though. Be sure to look at the size chart, and if you’re in between sizes, size DOWN. It runs rather large and the back is stretchy. I sized up and it’s a wee bit too big on me. (It does come with a belt, though, so that will help.
Also, the straps kind of lay funny when this dress is tied. I almost feel it would be better to have them sewn so they’re just regular ole straps, instead of a halter dress. If that makes sense?
The next time I wear this dress, I definitely pairing it with a petticoat too! It’s been a while since I’ve worn one…

Oh my goodness, this outfit is beautiful! That was so smart to restyle it for winter. I didn’t even think to layer a sweater over my summer dresses. Thank you for this idea. I am trying not to buy as much clothes this year, so I will have to try it. P.S. Love that adore bag. Too cute.
Aw, thank you, Courtney! 🙂
I definitely want to give my summer dresses a try during winter! ♥

The snow looks so beautiful! As do you in your black and white outfit, you layer the dress so well! 🙂

Thank you so much, Terry!
Oh my gosh, it IS a winter wonderland! We had a flurry yesterday morning but that was it! And then it was 40 and sunny for the rest of the day! This sweater is so cute, too – it looks very cozy!
Aw, thank you! My family is saying it’s 40+ degrees back in Wisconsin too! Crazy! It’s been snowing almost daily in Moscow and it’s only in the teens right now. Brrrr
This is right up my alley. That’s why I hate to change out my closet from season to season, because maybe I will wear a summer item in the winter!!
Great job LIndsey…and no sense showing us and getting frostbite…we believe you!
XOXO
