you can see the first time i wore this dress with a seahorse {my favorite animal} cardigan here. 

i really wanted to be able to wear this to work. i thought and thought and looked through my closet- very determined to find something to go with this that would make it a little more school appropriate and warmer, when i stumbled on this white sweater. i knew with the shape {boxy} of the sweater, i'd need something to accentuate my shape, so i added this belt- which is actually a waist belt that i just squeezed past the holes and looped. 

dress: red dress collection

sweater: kohl's

belt: gap

shoes: target

though the sun didn't always want to cooperate, as it does pretty frequently, i really think these turned out okay. and i love this outfit!!
