Snow Leopard and Red.
This Fall I am committed to taking some of my Summer Dresses and wearing them for the colder season. I have done that quite a bit in the last month and a half or so. Today I am showing you just one of them: my Snow Leopard Fit+Flare Dress. In the collage above it is side by side, how I wore it this Summer and how I am wearing it this Fall (just a couple of weeks ago, actually). And as you can see by the photos, my hair has grown quite a bit in the last 3 months.
For the first time this Fall (or ever) I paired this Snow Leopard Dress with a Red Cardigan and Bold Red Lipstick. Even my Earrings have Dangly Red Stones. I added some Off-Black/Charcoal Semi-Opaque Tights and some Black Patent Leather Ballet Flats. I thought it was fun to pair the B+W Spotted Dress with B+W Polka Dot Bangles. One of my favorite color trios is Red+Black+White so I loved how this came out. Black Pumps would have looked better but I wore this Outfit for some volunteering I did at a hospital for abandoned/homeless babies. I knew I was going to carry and hold a little baby or two so comfort was key. As a mom, I must say it was heartbreaking to see those healthy, beautiful, innocent babies abandoned/left by their moms. One of the little boys I carried, really took to me. I was able to quiet him down and make him smile. I hope the program that helps out these babies, finds them good homes and parents who will love them, soon.

This fall look of your snow leopard and red is one of my favorite looks in you! So pretty for the season! Thanks for joining Celebrate Southern dear! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love expanding the seasons on an item of clothing, great conversion. Red is your colour wow. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a fun look, I think I like it more than the summer look, the pop of red lipstick adds to everything so well. Have a good weekend! Rachel xo
ReplyDeleteReally like snow leopard so much more than its cousin-the leopard because colors suit me much more. And your mix with red is an excellent choice Ada! xo Sabina OceanblueStyle

I love the mix of red, black and white. I love it when you take a Summer dress and restyle it for Winter. You look great.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying your posts that show how to wear summer outfits in cooler months. I think it is so nice to be able to wear most of your wardrobe in a variety of seasons for getting more mileage out of your pieces. The dress looks perfectly winterized with the red cardigan, lovely. Have a wonderful Sunday Ada, XOXO, Elif

I'm a big fan of layering sweaters over or under dresses to make them suitable for winter. This bright red is so cheerful and matches nicely with the leopard print - great choice! =)
