H&M has made it’s first appearance in my closet, thanks to Elle of FastFoodAndFastFashion! I was absolutely enamored after seeing both Jean and Elle sporting this dress recently, and Elle was so gracious to mail me this dress when she saw it in the store for 50% off. I’m forever grateful for my wonderful blogger friends!
This dress is ideal for summer, but to make it appropriate for fall, I had to add in some layers. I couldn’t decide which cardigan look I liked the most — belted or unbelted — so I’m counting on you to help me decide! And because I love the shape and style of the dress on its own, I braved the cold morning weather to include a picture of the dress on its own. This dress will definitely be something I’ll be loving on its own once spring returns!
Do you guys wear spring/summer dresses in the colder fall/winter months? How do you layer up?

You look great in that dress, especially in the last photo 🙂
It looks great on you! Yay for H&M!
Love the way you layer up a summer dress in the cold season. I don't usually do that, but I should. After blogging I do find myself layering summer tanks that I didn't use to do before.
You look fantastic, as usual!
I think I like the cardigan belted better. What a great friend. That dress is beautiful.

I like it belted. Which is odd bc I have been shying away from belting cardis tie season. But it is a beauty!
Did you hear about H&M in Dallas this Coming Spring? I'm pretty sure its cominggggg.
This is adorable! I love the cardigan and the lace together.
I like the belted cardigan look the best, really shows off your tiny waist! I love H&M but we don't have one in my city so I never get to shop there…such a bummer. I am a huge fan of wearing my summer sleeveless dresses with cadrigan and tights so winter so this entire outfit is totally up my fashion alley!!!

@Desiree omg, i did hear that H&M is coming!! sometime in 2011 right? i hear it's opening up at Northpark Mall which is only10 minutes away from my house!! Couldn't be more exicted!!
I love this combination of lace, cream, heather brown, and brown! Great job at putting together this outfit with all these pretty colors :). I have avoided cream and heather brown for a while (don't know why) until I tried on a cream top the other day, and realized how nice the color looked against my Asian skin :).
H&M really needs to open an online shop like they do for Europeans. I'll be the happiest girl alive when that happens because I wouldn't have to stand in line for their coveted collaborations 😛
This dress is so gorgeous on you, both the belted under and over versions. In the fall/winter, I layer with cardis and blazers. And sometimes maybe a pretty scarf too 🙂
LOVE it!

You paired a great cardigan with this one. I like it belted with the cardigan!
The dress looks so fabulous on you! Aren't you SO excited for H&M to open up at Northpark next year? Hopefully we'll run into each other when it does :]
what a cute dress and how sweet of elle! it looks awesome on all you girlies.
Lovely dress! I think I like it belted under a little bit more. What does it look like with a wider belt over the cardi? As for layering up, I wore a floral spring dress the other day with tights, knee boots, and a cardi.
Kileen, I love this dress on you! The whole outfit is so pretty! Nicely done. =)
Oh!! You look great! I love how short this dress is!! I think both looks are great! Perhaps do the belted over cardigan in winter, and do the belted when it warms up.
I actually just turned a summer dress into a winter dress last weekend. I was a little nervous, but as soon as I stepped out and my husband approved, I felt better about it. He can be so picky sometimes. :p
Gorgeous dress! I hope I can find this deal at H&M! 🙂 I love wearing spring dresses in the winter. I just layer them up with cardigans! I love the belted look btw, it's very chic 🙂 You have the perfect ensemble for the office! 😀 The only thing you need is a nice warm jacket over your cardigan on your commute to work 🙂
This looks terrific on you, I am so glad to have helped out because you rock it. And kudos for braving the cold in wearing this dress, lol, I have been a chicken and doing all my pictures indoors. 🙂 I like it paired with cardigans a lot, I imagine it's probably still ok for the fall.
OMG Kileen-you look great in this dress!
Love the belt with it- I think it definitely breaks up all the lace and looks fantastic!
And yep- I am guilty- I wear my summer dresses in the fall/winter too! I layer with blazers and cardigans and tights!
Woo, yours arrived! How does the sz 4 fit on you?? It looks great with the warm colors and layers for Fall.
I'm very excited that an H&M will be opening near you guys. They NEEd to open online! In the meantime, don't be afraid to let me know if you want something from no tax Mass!
I love that dress on you!! Yay for no longer being an H&M virgin! haha
Love the dress!
I usually layer up by wearing tights, especially sweater tights when it's really gold, and wearing long sleeves under sleeveless dresses.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :o)
