Happy monday!

I am back to blogging, yay!  I took a couple of weeks off to work on the launch party (pictures up wednesday), meet with web designers for the new site and basically recharge my battery from all the madness that has been going on.  I will officially be blogging every monday, wednesday and friday from here on out!

Since today was 18* I wanted to do a post on wearing your maxi dresses and skirts through the winter. I am a firm believer in a year round wardrobe- as long as you shop smart and are willing to step outside of the box a bit- it is simple to seamlessly wear most pieces 365.

I layered a longer cashmere turtle neck over a spaghetti strap maxi dress in this combo.  You could do a belted cardigan, tee with a leather jacket, etc- the combinations are endless.  I chose a rustic leather ankle bootie to both winterize the look and keep consistent with the boho feel of the dress.  Tall boots would have looked frumpy and disconnected from the outfit.

The hobo bag balances out the oversized sweater and once again, has that great natural boho feel.  I put on a long earring to draw the eye upwards and stacked on some earthy bracelets.  Voila- summer maxi turns winter cozy.  Not to mention this is legit the most comfortable outfit ever.

I will continue doing 'how to wear' every monday so please submit any questions you want answered on the blog to: trendEDITORcolumbus@gmail.com 








Cheers trendLOVERS,
