Wearing a Midi Skirt in Winter

I love a full midi skirt.  I love them so much that I don't put them away when the temperatures drop.  My secret to keeping my calk bearing beauties out all winter involves 3 things: sweaters, tights, and over the knee boots.  The sweater has to be fitted and thin so that you're not adding any more bulk to the waist.  A full midi skirt can make your waist look super tiny, so don't take away from that benefit!  Tights and over the knee boots are an obvious choice.  You don't want your legs exposed to the frigid air!  Combining them just keeps you extra super cozy.

How do you wear a midi skirt in winter?

Easy Breezy Brunch Outfit with Hanes Ultimate Bras (Giveaway!)

Nothing ruins my day like ill-fitting undergarments.  Have you ever put on a new bra only to realize it's a torture device? You just can't come back from that.  You just have to go home, change, and start your day over.
So, when I was headed out for a casual brunch with friends (i.e. an all day mimosa and food fest), I grabbed right for one of my Hanes Ultimate Bras.  I didn't need a pokey underwire interrupting my fun.  These bras are super soft and comfy.  And I can't believe the support the Comfortflex Fit Wirefree bra provides!  
My casual dress for the day was a little thin and so I knew I needed some good coverage (especially in these temperatures!).  Even though the Ultimate Bras are really thin and flexible, they still provide full coverage.

Mara Hoffman Midi Dress

Mara Hoffman Triad Dress (8) Mara Hoffman Triad Dress (7) Mara Hoffman Triad Dress (6) Mara Hoffman Triad Dress (3)

Last year my fantasy bestie Mindy Kaling turned me on to designer Mara Hoffman.  Mara Hoffman's designs are bright pattern parties that flatter every body type.  They've got shapes and cut outs in all the right places.  So far I've gotten my hands on two maxi dresses and a midi dress (off the clearance racks at ShopBop and Bloomingdale's).  And some of those maxi dresses have cut outs...scandalous.

Right now it's a little too cold to show any skin, so I opted for this midi dress.  The hemline is perfect because it shows just the right amount of my short little legs to prevent the stumpy effect that midi dresses have on me.

Fridays typically turn me into a bratty 14 year-old.  I look in my closet and think, "I just can't even...put on pants."  So, my Friday uniform has consisted mainly of leggings and a comfy top.  I love love love Assets leggings from Target.  And this comfy cozy pink cardi from Yoyomelody completes my exasperated look. I think my Friday outfit choices are beginning to make my co-workers wonder if I own real pants.

Leggings...tights for the girl who is such a giant mess that she can't stop ripping holes in actual tights.  Or...tights for the girl who likes cold ankles.  The second line was more sarcastic.  I really don't like the cold, but I am actually physically incapable of keeping tights for more than a few weeks.  
I've been asking my mom for the same thing every Christmas for the last several years: Tights and wool socks.  Typically, I can wear a pair of tights a few times before so elegantly ripping a giant hole in them.  Sometimes they get caught on a sparkly bracelet and sometimes a hole just mysteriously appears.  So, I trust that my mother will help me restock each holiday season.  And the wool socks?  I just like cozy piggies at night.

Stuff I Wore: Copycat (OOTD from beginning of December)

I have to admit, this outfit is not an original inspiration of mine.  I NEVER thought about wearing this dress during the winter before I saw how it was styled on Sweet Laundry Loves.  I think I managed to winterize this dress pretty well.
