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.
