Today, I paired my outfit around this lace peplum top.  I added wide leg trousers and a black velvet peplum jacket for an elegant vintage-inspired look.

I kept the accessories minimal to let the shapes and textures of this outfit be the show.

Indian Summer Polkadots

Hi everyone!

As much as I love fall fashion, I was starting to mourn the loss of bare legs.  Thankfully, our cool fall temperatures were replaced by a high of 81 degrees today, so I seized the opportunity to go without tights for at least one more day.  

Dress:  The Limited (Similar here)
Cardigan:  Converse One Star by Target (Available in grey here)

I paired my polkadot dress with my motorcycle-style cardigan and added burgundy patent leather heels.

Tote:  The Limited (Similar here)

I love the mix of the ultra-feminine dress and the cardigan with just a touch of attitude.

The burgundy heels keep the look from looking too summery.

When it's cold out, what do you miss most about Spring/Summer fashion?
