Well it’s certainly been cold and windy here lately. Winter is setting in. There’s also been a bit of snow, which you probably know that I love. All those winter sports as a child… I should never have stopped figure skating. That was one of my favorites.
Von Vonni was kind enough to send me this wintry patterned floral dress with long sleeves, which I just adore. I think that long sleeves are so underused on dresses.

I love these images Alex, so wintery!
Figure skating?? Can you still do it?
Sort of? Not like I used to, of course, but not completely inept :)
Pretty! Aww you should’ve kept up figure skating. I love the snow too :)
I am distinctly Not A Lover of Snow, but I like to experience it vicariously through pictures! All the pretty, none of the cold. Agreed on long sleeves, especially if they’re close-fitting to make layering easier!
I loooooove snow! Especially because it’s getting to be kind of rare here. I feel like I only get one good snowfall in every winter. I wish that it would blizzard again and there would be four feet of snow on the ground… those were the days! No school for a week!
These are very very close fitting sleeves. Easy to put under a sweater!
I agree. I have such a hard time finding a good long sleeved dress, and in the winter, I have to hide my dresses in layers so I can wear them. The pattern and color of the dress is perfection!
Love the VonVonni dress!
What a perfect backdrop the snow makes. Love that gorg necklace!
What a beautiful dress! I really should get more long sleeved dresses…it’s just that I don’t usually wear dresses during the winter time. However, they’re usually on sale around this time so I will be keeping an eye out for them.
I’ve been wearing less dresses than ever this winter, but have found that I’m not really warm in pants either. Uniqlo has great heat tech tights out that are definitely warmer than my usual ones, too :)
I didn’t know you figure-skated! That’s awesome! You should post pictures sometime.
I kind of hope I can’t find any… I figure skated in the 90s.
Crushed velvet.
Enough said.
What a great print in that dress – and I am loving those suede boots!
I really love the colors in this dress, hopefully it will be warmer next time you wear it so we can see it better

you are right about long sleeves being underused on dresses. especially winter dresses – i mean a short sleeve sweater dress just seems silly!
I love these rich blue florals – I am ready to put more floral pieces into rotation.
