A fall floral dress styled for late winter.

Are you tired of winter yet? Same. After a 2-week deep freeze, I’m feeling especially over it. I’m also over my wardrobe right now– which is really silly, since a) I never wear “real” clothes unless I’m shooting for the blog and b) I have more than enough clothes. To shake things up, I’m attempting to grab some old(er) pieces and wear them together in a different way. Case in point: this olive green wool vest and a fall floral dress.

You last saw this wool vest (or sleeveless trench) over 2 years ago as part of an edgy denim outfit. These boots are even older– from 2016! This dress is a few years old but has never made a blog appearance. It used to be one of my go-to fall work dresses since it was long enough to pass HR’s dress code. You know, back when I used to go to an office. And actually get dressed during the week. 😉

I really like this outfit as an alternative to jeans and a sweater (which feels so overplayed here in early March). The wool vest is long and hefty, so it does provide quite a bit of warmth. The thigh-high boots are fashionable, sure, but their real perk is that they keep your legs nice and toasty against any late-winter chills.

And don’t get me started on my love affair with olive green. It’s well-documented around here. It’s just such a good neutral! Softer than black and navy, bolder than tan and white– you really can’t go wrong.

    1. Yes! It’s so smart to recycle, especially now when my whole closet feels new to me because I haven’t worn anything but athleisure in like a year, haha.

    1. Right? I love that it’s March and spring is on the way, but KC will have some chillier days for another month or so, so a vest like this is necessary!

  23. Those boots on you are LIFE GOALS. I wanna come back in my next life as your legs in those boots. (THAT’S not creepy at all) (I swear).

    I also want to come back as a seagull or a well-loved house cat. I’ll leave all that up to the powers that be.

    I also have a love affair with olive green in all its many tones, from blue-toned to yellow-toned. It’s like a thousand different colors in one color, you know?

    Whatever I had for breakfast, I probably shouldn’t have.

  28. I love this outfit, Ashley! Ha, I know what you mean about being over your wardrobe. While our winters are very mild, I just don’t like cold weather clothing as well as summer clothing. And maybe that’s because I’m not a fan of winter, even a mild one.

  32. I love this new combo.
    I feel you. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to wear and then I play with the clothes I already own and I feel a little bit better haha.
    I really love how you matched this dress with this sleeveless coat. This sleeveless coat looks pretty warm and comfy.

  37. Ashley, I think this may be one of my favorite outfits ever of yours! I love olive green, too, and this vest is simply fabulous! The floral dress is so pretty, too. I love that the floral print is on an olive green background. The otk boots are perfect with this look! Thanks for linking with me!
