Lately I've seen several bloggers wearing spring/summer dresses as winter garb and looking quite adorable! So I felt inspired to try the trick myself. Here's my pretty eShakti birdcage dress styled last summer on the left and for winter on the right.
I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first. but I really like the way my outfit turned out. I added a turtleneck with boots and tights for warmth. I think it's a good look for teaching … comfy and modest. And I even noticed that eShakti still has this dress and it's on sale.
If you're excited to shop for spring but are still having winter weather, this would be a fun way to rationalize a new dress … style it for winter now and spring later!
And last but not least, please don't forget to join us for the FUN FASHION FRIDAY link up party this Friday and every Friday right here at Fashion Should Be Fun! I was so excited by the great turnout last week and can't wait for another Friday of fashion fun!

Love how you winterized that dress! It looks great!
That looks great! I seriously, I never would have expected it to be so good. I might have to try this today. I'm always looking for something a little different to wear to work.
Love this! Being from Florida I love to bring summer things into winter, since I hate to buy too much winter clothes since we only get a few super cold days! Love the all black!
Thanks, Shannon! I always buy too many winter clothes for California, but maybe this trick will help with that!
Gorgeous dress. It looks great for winter too.
Cute dress! I love how you styled it for both seasons.
I love how your outfit turned out! I am so impressed as it looks totally different. The boots were a great choice.
Aww! Thanks SO much for the call out! I am flattered! eShakti.com makes great dresses and I just love how you styled yours for the winter! It actually looks more like a skirt now… I am in love with that dress, I love bird cases and it is such a darling pattern and color!
You totally inspired me to try this trick and I love how it turned out! Aren't the birdcages so cute? Thanks, Carrie!
Yes we both love the midi fit and flare look! So flattering, right?! You know I LOVE that gingham skirt you modeled today!
Hey Dawn Lucy! I can't stop thinking about my spring and summer dresses. Now I'm tempted to bring a few out and see if I can style them for winter. You've done it brilliantly! I love the print at the hem of the dress as well!
Sue, I'll keep an eye out for a spring to winter look on your blog soon! 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love how you've turned your summers dress into a Winter one. The style of the dress is perfect for you and I like the birdcage detail at the bottom. You look great.
So beautiful. I adore the detailing.
I agree this outfit came out so great. I think the secret is in choosing the right summer dress, and yours (at least from the photo) looks like it has a nice weight to it and movement.
Is there a badge to add for the Friday linkup ?
Love the feminine cut and those details are adorable.
In the sale I bought a wonderful dress for spring/summer and I really want to wear it now! Its is minus 2 degrees C here! I have been considering doing something like you styled your lovely dress here but I am still not sure about it. It is white with navy stripes, could style it as winter white but it might just look daft. Jury still out, maybe later on the blog..
Oh, this turned out just lovely! Such a wonderful transition from summer to winter. I need to try more looks like this.
