Hey everyone! We finally got some snow here in New York! I’m the type of person that wears dresses all year round; the weather doesn’t matter, I’m always cold anyway haha. Plus, I personally feel that there’s no combination more comfortable than a dress and knee socks. (I think I own about five or six different pairs of knee socks right now…)
The camera problems I’d been having in the past are mostly fixed by the addition of good natural light! I’m pretty happy with how these turned out! Maybe one day I’ll actually be able to afford a new camera…probably not while I’m still a student though haha. Anyway, for this outfit I took my favorite maroon dress, added a matching clutch, and grabbed my trusty black knee socks (see them styled differently here!). Maroon and black has always been one of my very favorite color combinations. Scroll down for more!
It was super windy outside when I took these, as you can probably tell by my hair haha! It’s so annoying when you get your hair to look halfway okay, but then you go outside and the wind whips it to death. Oh well!
Coat: Gift, Dress: Forever21, Knee Socks: Payless, Boots: Forever21, Clutch: Old Navy (similar), Necklace: Etsy
What do you think? What’s your favorite color combo to wear? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for stopping by š

You look so gorgeous, I love how your lipstick almost matches your dress and clutch. You must have been FREEZING posing without the jacket on but I’m secretly jealous that it’s winter where you are. It’s far too hot here!

I haven’t tried wearing dresses with knee socks yet, but it sounds super comfy. I usually go for tights, but I think I have a pair of knee socks somewhere in my closet that I should try out

Maroon and black is a great combo! I’m amazed that you can wear skirt/dresses in winter, I would be bundled up like a polar bear…maybe that is why I can only live in warm climate places like LA.
