[three things]
1. i'm getting a bit bored with wearing skinny pants+boots or fleece-lined tights+boots options lately, so i busted out this summer dress and layered the bejeezus out of it.

2. i've totes done this before with this dress. (with a white jacket back here and with a mustard scarf back here)

3. even though i've cut cheapies out of my wardrobe strategy for this year, i've still got plenty of them in my closet to mix things up!  every once in awhile i would find that lucky piece from forever21 that i keep for more than six months, but they are way too few and far between.
