I've been all about dresses this past week! You last saw this dress here, at the end of summer/ beginning of fall with a multi-strand necklace, flat sandals, and a cognac bag. For winter, I decided to carry over the cognac, but on my feet this time in the form of boots. It's always so hard for me to style maxi dresses and skirts for the winter because the shoes never feel quite right - I end up feeling bottom heavy. But these boots were perfect because of their low profile sole and simple design. A friend styled this dress with a jacket and scarf, so I followed her lead. The leopard scarf fell naturally in place to complement the color of my boots! I really love how a few pieces can take this dress through the winter.

The scarf tying obsession

I first mentioned this scarf tying method in my post about the Zara scarf dupe. I've come to realize that while I love and adore that H&M scarf, I'm now addicted to this scarf tying method. All of a sudden *all* of my scarves have a little bit more life to them knowing they, too, can be tied this way. And no, your scarf doesn't need fringe to make this work - as long as you can tie two corners together, you're golden.

Seriously, I've donned scarves 3 times this week because I'm obsessed. So, I apologize in advance for milking this technique from now until spring! Even shorter scarves get a little bit more oomph.

Cardigan: JCrew (option) | Scarf: Gifted (option) | Sequin tank: JCrew (option) | Skinnies: Express (similar) | Booties: Sam Edelman (option)

And this scarf below is a little bit on the longer side, so I had to modify the tie just a bit.

Have I convinced you yet? I really cannot believe I have lived this long not knowing how easy this was! It definitely looks 34893498 times more complicated than it actually is. I was telling the husband that it's the same kind of mind blowing revelation as learning how to get my bun so big! Now I just can't go back to the regular way. The bigger, the fluffier, the better!
