My Karina “Audrey” dress is summery, but I want to wear it all year. So today I topped it with my CAbi jacket/dress/duster and let Audrey just peek out the bottom.
I didn’t realize till I saw this picture that I went heavy on the browns for my accents. I’m wearing my fab Cydwoq booties with their almost-spiderweb design, a classic brown belt, wooden bangle and amber pendant (the last three thrifted from the Humane Society Thrift).

Love what you came up with

Excellent layering. I am all sorts of obsessed with your boots, Patti. I'm trolling ebay with fingers crossed. Those are so goshdarned cool. YOU are so goshdarned cool.
Love the Cabi duster. I think I might manage this look! I have a pair of booties that are just gorgeous, but I've never gotten up my nerve to try them with a skirt or dress. Cool idea. Maybe I'll get bold and try it!
Love the vivid patterns, both in colour and black and white, and how the overdress works to measure how much pattern is present. And those gorgeous booties!
That's a great way to extend the wear of a summer dress, Patti, and the little peek of stripiness is lovely! Such cool ankle boots too. xxxx
I love the blazer over the dress and how the stripes are just revealed beneath the black – very chic!
To wear a dress over a dress is so very special yours. I like the idea so much that I copied you from time to time and wore a colorful dress under my black shirt-dress. This time I love it again and particularly because of the pattern mix. Your shoes are fantastic!
I just love your artistic boots!

How cute!! i love the whole outfit with peek-a-boo audrey!
Wow I love this look! The dress is lovely and the jacket on top is such a fantastic cover and versatile piece. Really like the brown accents of your accessories too. Those booties really flatter your slim legs and are a great style.
Thanks, Patti! I am excited to test the L'Oreal product! This is a great dress for our climates because you can do so much fun styling and use it all year long! Excellent look for you! Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
