First this is an older photo — we do NOT have any snow on the ground. 🙂

So this idea came to me when I saw this outfit and I thought “I can pull this together with what I already have in my closet”–just a new twist on layering .  The plaid press is GAP last year (also seen here) and the sweater dress is probably at least 2 years old from Kohl’s, of course, on clearance (also seen here)  Boots are my over thee knee suede, belt is Merona from Target (also seen here and here) .  Bag is Steve Madden from TJ Maxx (inspired by this blogger and her coach bag from 2009).
