I am so excited! Today starts my two week series How to Wear a Dress in Winter. I will post one about two or three times a week for two weeks. I will show you many outfit inspirations and give you some tips on how to wear your summer dresses in winter. 

I decided to do this series because I don't have many winter dresses at all, and I was having to wear pants to church, and I ran out of ideas. I want to help you to be able to re-wear your dresses, and I want to give you some inspiration on how to wear yours.

Today I chose this emerald green summer dress. This dress is actually too short, so it kind of works out that I wear leggings with it. 

For winter I styled this dress with a pair of leggings, and a cardigan to keep warm. I am also wearing a scarf to add a pop of color and some interest. I added a belt that defined my waist and adds even more interest.

I could have just worn this dress with the leggings and the cardigan, and I would have been warm enough. But, this outfit needs something to make it look put-together and like you actually put thought into your outfit. That's why I added the belt and scarf. 

Don't forget to come back for the next installments!

What is your favorite thing about this outfit? What will you use from this outfit to wear your dresses for winter?
