How to Style Mini Dresses in the Winter

LifestylebyAnnaElizabeth-0193.jpg

If I had to choose ONE category of clothing to live in for the rest of my life, it would undoubtedly be mini dresses.

Now, would I look a bit odd prancing around in the nursing home with my wrinkly knees and spider veins out on full display? Sure. It’s a drawback I’m prepared to accept.

Mini dresses have a way of making me feel playful, feminine, and sophisticated all at the same time. I love a flowy, ruffled detail just as much as I obsess over a sleek bodycon design. There’s not a single occasion to which I wouldn’t wear a mini dress (as proven by our trip to Montana in the biggest snowfall of the season last year).

When styling mini dresses in the Winter however, you must have a few tricks up your sleeve to appropriately adjust to the weather.

with knee-high or OTK boots

The simplest way to style a mini dress in the Winter is with over the knee boots. While we were in Las Vegas, the weather was a bit warmer than we are typically used to in December, so I only needed to make minor adjustments to my usual dress and heels combo.

I snagged these tall grey boots at my favorite consignment shop while we were home last month and they wound up being so comfortable that I wore them the majority of our trip.

My light pink floral mini dress is by ChicWish, one of my go-to brands that I recently shared here and here. Most people may assume that this is strictly a Spring or Summer dress, but I disagree. I think that you can repurpose any season (especially in the case of a dress) when paired with appropriate transitional pieces like this pink faux suede coat and wool beret.
