Summer is soon coming to an end, and the fashion world is already offering Fall’s bounty. What’s a girl to do when the temperature is still rising, yet the pace of life is quickly racing to autumn? The awkward in-between seasons call for creativity and ingenuity. Luckily, Ogo lives in the Palm Beaches, where the art of season less dressing thrives.

Knit Dresses & Suits to stay warm and chic for winter

Written by ogo on November 4, 2013. Posted in Romantic & Seductive, This girl is ALL BUSINESS

Don’t forego style to stay warm this winter. The ease of a sweater dress or a knit suit ensemble makes winter dressing easy and practical. OGO lived in Chicago once upon a time, where the wind chill factor dipped way below zero during cold winter spells. Some insulated wool and/or silk blend tights, plus warmly lined boots, lined with fur or a synthetic blend, plus a warm knit sweater dress or knit ensemble, will keep you warm when paired with a good winter coat and layered cardigan or jacket, too. Look for OGO’s upcoming posts featuring warm and stylish vintage and designer coats.
