I realize I talk about the weather fairly often on this blog. Well, folks, the weather really determines what I will be wearing for the day! The temperatures have jumped all over the place: today's low is higher than the high of earlier in the week. To keep up with these crazy changes, I utilize my love of layering:

| F21 dress - FC ($10) F21 sweater - FC ($7.50) also worn here and here Boots - Xmas gift from BF Vintage belt - thrifted via BB ($2) Anthropologie purse - Xmas gift from Mom Scarf - gifted from long ago |
About my outfit: The weatherman told me the high for the next couple of days will be in the lower 70s with a chance of rain. This kind of prediction calls for my Fall Formula - skirt/dress + sweater, rain-friendly boots and lots of layers. I started out with a simple cotton dress and then belted my sweater over it for extra warmth/comfort. My boots are not real leather so I feel safe wearing them in the rain. I finished the look off with a chunky chain-link necklace and then added some color with my scarf, which tied in the colors in my purse and boots! Oh, and this milk-maid braid is my go-to "chance of rain" hairstyle - no point in fixing your hair if it's just going to get rained on, if you ask me :)
What is the most determining factor for how you will dress each day?
Do you have any "formulas" or tips for weird weather changes?

I love how you layered the sweater over the dress. It makes it look totally different. As far as getting dressed, the weather, that time of the month, and just my general mood determines what I will wear most of the time. Cute braids too :)

Well this is eerie...I just posted an outfit that was exactly this formula! It's my go-to fall or winter outfit too...a cotton shift dress with an oversized sweater belted on top and layers of necklaces or a scarf, legwarmers/tights and boots! Love the look :) I usually dress by picking one piece that I'm just REALLY in the mood to wear and that makes me feel happy to look at...and then build my outfit around that. I'm horrible with weather...gotten in trouble that way many a time :D

Your hair looks so cute and I love the pattern mixing and layering! Layering is essential for Canadian winters-it's pretty mild here so hard to dress for the winter when there's snow outside but it's barely below 0 degrees celcius!
I love this outfit! So many awesome colors and layers.
I love how you layered here! The necklace, the way you styled your belt and the colors in the scarf are all great.
And weather is the biggest factor, especially now. I get cold easily and considering its been under 20 here the past couple days... layers and thick socks are necessary. Sometimes I struggle to keep my personal style in my outfits when the weather gets cold, icy and snowy, so it is great to see how other people layer!
The boots, the scarf, the belt, All so amazing together!!
Gosh I want those boots so bad!!

Very ethnic look, I love the earthly tones of your scarf in contrast of the pastel blue striped dress. Nice mix of color and patterns. I still love your tribal inspired boots
