Let's Transition - Winter Me Down

In this post, I want to show you all an outfit that I transitioned from summer into winter.

I purchased this beautiful, bright print culotte jumpsuit from Topshop on sale during the Labor Day holiday.  Actually when I bought it the weather was already starting to become a bit chilly, so I started thinking of ways to winterize the jumpsuit.

Initially, I thought the easiest way to wear the jumpsuit in winter was to add tights with boots and a turtleneck, which still may be; however I didn't have boots and turtlenecks in the colors I thought would look best with outfit.  So instead of wearing this at the height of winter, I waited and wore this look on a warmer day.

Layering is the key to transitioning any summer item of clothing into fall and winter.

I scored this dress at Topshop during my NYC trip.  It was on bold, looked comfy, and was flattering silhouette.  I figured a dress like this could go along way and be paired with several different shoes and accessories in my wardrobe.  I had to have it, so I bought it....ON SALE.

Gaucho Jumpsuit

In case you guys were wondering...yes I do believe in love at first sight.  My best friend actually played a hand in introducing me and my beloved - gaucho jumpsuit.  And it was all L-O-V-E on sight, but not because I loved the print or the colors or the style or the price.  The love that I felt originally for this jumpsuit was simply because of it's uniqueness.  This beautiful 70s inspired print jumpsuit was like none other that I owned, or had ever seen for that matter.

My friend and I had been scouring around Topshop for sometime when she spotted this cutie on the CLEARANCE rake....hello.  And without hesitation she brought it over for me to try-on.  Luckily everything worked out perfectly with the fit, so now it's all mine.

I am in love with this piece, and I am challenging myself to somehow winterize this jumpsuit.  Maybe a turtleneck, and some Chelsea boots will fair well with this look. I feel that the jumpsuit should be worn all year round because of it's awesomeness.  Wish me luck ;)
