all the gold & all the guns in the world


What I'm wearing:
*anthropologie Cable-knit Sweater
*anthropologie Reed Shirt-dress (similar here)
*Black H&M Tights
*Ugg Lynnea Ankle Boots in Tan
*Mulberry Alexa Bag in Oak


I love layering sweaters over dresses because it breaks up the pattern a bit. The last few times I've worn this dress I felt a little too prairie girl for my taste, so I decided to layer a chunky sweater over it this time. This sweater has a bit more of a golden olive tint to it than the brown it looks here.  


Some have requested a photo of the Alexa being worn cross-body, so here you go! This little bag can hold a TON (all of the things I need on a daily basis) and I love that I can have my hands free when needed. You know, when I need to go shopping, eat a hot dog on the street, or text on my phone.

    I love how you broke up the reed dress. My problem with print dresses is that they are memorable and feels like they're only one or two ways to wear them. The chunky sweater is a nice touch, and those bootie clogs!

    The sweater over the dress gives the look an entirely different feel. I absolutely love this. You do a great job mixing and matching your wardrobe.
    And that bag...so envious!! ;-)

    Rosa, you did such a great job of toughening out the dress through layering. I was looking at it this morning but it felt too out of season- now you've given me inspiration on how to make it more season-appropriate!

    Oh wow I love this. I tried layering a sweater over my reed shirtdress but it was too bulky dir my taste. Obviously I just needed a bulkier sweater! Work it :).

    This is awesome...I am always in awe of people that can pull off layering like this, as I cannot!

    This is one of my very favorite looks I've seen you wear. I almost always wear a cardigan with my dresses, but I almost never try a pullover style sweater. What a fantastic idea! And I think the shorter, open sleeves on the sweater allow just enough of the dress to peek through.
