Winterize A Summer Dress

Is winterize even a word? Who knows. What I do know is that you don't have to pack away your summer work clothes during the winter! For those of you who live in places where all  four seasons are experienced, you know that its imperative to have work clothes that suit all of them.  This can be quite inconvenient and expensive, especially if you're like me and on a strict cash budget!

Well fret no more because its actually quite easy to turn some of your summer clothes into winter attire. Take a flowy, light dress for example.  All you have to do it throw on a pair of tights underneath, a belted long sweater over top and a pair of your favorite knee high boots! See, its as simple as that! Complete the look by wrapping a long beautiful scarf around your neck.  Not only will a scarf add a touch of class to any outfit but it will also keep you extra warm on those cool winter days.  There are many different ways to tie a scarf, depending on what you are wearing and what kind of a look you are going for. I came across this video a while ago which I'm sure a lot of you have seen. If not, click here to learn 25 ways to tie a scarf in 4.5 minutes.

Because winter came early here, I am also dedicating my next post to winterizing summer clothes so check back in a couple of days for that!
