I wore this Lucie Lu dress in October & then again last week, both for work. I bought this fuzzy cold weather version of my beloved knot front dress because of the orange in it & also because I adore the dark floral print trend this winter. The sweetheart neckline is flattering & I felt this was more generous in the hips than other dresses in this cut, but still felt sizing up to a 5x was the correct fit for me. 

Both days I wore this dress were extremely windy, but the second time was *freezing* & snowing as well (if you look closely, you'll spot the flakes). I think it's time to find indoor photo locations. 

I love looking at the details of all the vintage buttons on this bracelet...

I forgot to take photos of this jewelry up close, I'll do that in the morning when there is light. What I really want to talk to you about though, are the socks. Cronert socks from Italy are amazing...they stay up so nicely & are well made. If you don't already have a sock addiction, what are you waiting for?
