Weekly Wears: Winter Uniform

Coat: vintage;  Dress: F21;  Sweater: Urban Outfitters (mens);  Tights: c/o ModCloth;  Knee Socks: Tabbisocks;  Shoes: ModCloth (similar);  Necklace: Olivia Mew

This has pretty much been my uniform since the weather has turned cold, cold, cold here in MO.  Grab a dress, layer some tights and knee socks, throw on some boots, and don't forget to swipe one of Johnny's warm sweaters.  I don't know what it is, but his sweaters are just waaaay cozier than mine.  ;)  A warm, fluffy coat is the icing on the cake, and now you're ready to brave the chilly air.  No kidding, I've worn so many versions of this outfit.  My favorite fluffy coat is this one from Family Affairs.

I've been shopping a ton for a New Year's Eve dress because our band just got booked for a fancy gig.  If you guys come across anything show-stopping, let me know!  I've checked the usual places: Urban, FP, 80s Purple, Emerging Thoughts, ModCloth, etc and haven't found THE dress yet.

    1. I love it also so much how you wear the socks over those tights, remembers me really on similar looks which I have worn in the early 90s :)

  3. You layer so well! Sometimes it's hard not to look frumpy with lots of layers. Lately I've been coveting anything gold lame and vintage on etsy. I don't have fancy NYE plans, but if I did, I'd be wearing something shiny and vintage, like these:
