Like You Mean It

polkadress2

There are days like these where I wonder how people wear dresses in extreme cold.  Today is probably one of the coldest days all winter (I can see my breath, that is pretty darn cold to me) and I had a hard time taking pictures.  I was trying to look happy but all I could think about was going back inside and enjoying some gingerbread coffee!

Dress- Facebook swap group
Jacket- Forever 21
Tights- H&M
Shoes- UrbanOG
Hat- Old
Belt- Forever 21

I got this dress from a swap group through Facebook.  It's a little overwhelming because there are so many girls with tons of items they want to swap (for keeps), but I've received a few gems through it.  It also gives me a chance to get rid of some things to people who want them.  But to be honest, I should probably stop shopping and swapping for awhile.  With all my Christmas gifts, birthday presents, and gift cards, I'm set for a long time!

  2. Now you know why I'm taking photos inside. It's 2 Celcius here today and that is warmer than yesterday.

    You still look great despite being cold. Those colours are great on you.

    I just voted for you girl! : ) I hope you win!!!

  8. You have such adorable dresses! I don't do too bad in dresses usually - for some reason my legs don't get cold as easily as other bits, probably from prolonged exposure :)
    Wish I could wear heels that high! Well, I could, but I'm 6' already and might break a foot again hahah!

  11. This is a great dress, i really love the colour of it on you, perfect with the leather jacket and studded heels. I am just so used to the cold now, I still freeze my buns off sometimes but it seems worth it

  22. AND you took your jacket off! You are brave!
    Still, I'm wishing I were there right at this particular moment - it's too hot to function in the southern hemisphere today. as i type, my other hand is holding a spray bottle full of ice water which I periodically have to cover myself with just to not overheat, hahaha.
    Also, looking good ;)

  23. I just came across your blog and I am loving your style!
    This is such a cute and feminine dress, and the leather jacket and spiked heels add just the right amount of edge.
    Can't wait to see more outfits!

  27. Oh Ashley, how do you look so adorable every time? Cold or no cold (I'm trying to tell myself that it's never cold here so I don't die when I go back to the Midwest. I'm not really succeeding), this dress is lovely! By the way, I'm here for another week so we must figure something out with Erica!

  29. That is such a beautiful dress, and it looks so pretty with your gorgeous hair! I also love how you styled it, so pretty!

    And I know, tights are not always enough against the winter cold. The sacrifices of a cute outfit, haha.
