transition a summer outfit to winter wear

On this hot day, I ventured out with my lovely photographer boyfriend to a local historical mansion in the area. It was such a cute place! The mansion and the gardens surrounding the area were beautiful. We could tell that the workers took care of the place. I really wanted to explore the mansion and not just the outside, but they weren't offering any walking tours at the time. I know for sure that I'll be back here sometime soon! 

So, what I really like about this outfit is how seasonally versatile it is. Although this look does appeal more to summer weather, it can easily be turned into a cold weather outfit. 

How to tackle the cold with a summer outfit?

Switch it up! Throw on a black, leather jacket with some black, suspender tights. You can even add a beanie/bowler/fedora hat and some leather, gloves to make the outfit even more cold ready. Overall, with a look like this, you're bound to keep warm.

I know... I'm a repeater. I repeat pieces from past posts, but I can't help it. They're all my favorites! Hopefully all these repeated clothing items can give you guys ideas how to refresh your outfits in different ways. For example, I always thought I could only wear the muscle tee (pictured above) with just jeans. Turns out it can be worn in different ways. Not only did I match it up with a patterned, feminine skater skirt (which lessened at grunge-ness the shirt gave off to the outfit), but I made the shirt form-fitted. The shirt is actually huge on me, so to make it smaller, I just tied the shirt in the front. 

How do you guys change up your outfits?
