I realize that's balmy compared to where some of you are, but you probably weren't voluntarily hanging out on the ground for two hours, were you? Oh well. My role is not to ask, it is to make a batch of Hawai'ian fried chicken and go support him.
Oh, and to dress warmly.
Violet undershirt hoodie: Blu Chic (thrifted)
Knit tunic: Threads (gift from Megan Mae)
Skirt: Hillard & Hanson (thrifted)
Sweater dress: Rhys Dwfen (thrifted)
Coat: S by Serle (thrifted)
Scarf: unknown (thrifted)
... very warmly.

| Very similar to the look I shot my friend when I got there. |
I actually added a knit hat and some fingerless gloves before heading out the door, too.
The asymmetrical sweater tunic deal is from Megan Mae! It's another one of those items I never would have picked out for myself and that I like better and better the longer I have it. It's a fantastic overlayer for my long sleeved shirts for winter. I put another asymmetric knit over it, the soft wool sweater dress by Rhys Dwfen:
I don't know how interesting my outfits are right now. We're going into the coldest weather of the year in my area, and I am a delicate California strawberry. My outfits are me wearing as many things from my winter wardrobe as possible, all piled on top of one another. I'm trying to keep a little color in there, but mostly I'm trying not to look cranky all of the time (which is how I look when I am cold. :D)
Does your style change with the weather?
Speaking of interest, I thrifted this lavender Jones New York dress the other day. Love the color, am baffled by the shapeless tube-form! I already removed the unfortunate shoulder pads, else the dress wouldn't touch a single part of my body. Check this out:
I think I have two main options here, but I wanted to see your preference or if you had any additional suggestions.
The first is I could take the dress way in. I would likely do pretty dramatic princess seams in the front and back, then let the skirt back out to an A-line.
The second: since this dress is a garment-and-a-half, with an opaque panel/half a dress under the front panels, I could remove the dress panel, open the false jacket in the front, and make this a decorative coat.
Ideas, votes, and pointing and laughing are all welcomed. :D
... I confess half the reason I bought the dress was it smelled really clean and faintly of naphthalene, and it reminded me of my grandmother's house. The rest of the reason was it was $5 and I love the color. :D Do you ever buy things on emotional whims?

It's a cassock!
