How I wore it: dress transition

Earlier this evening, my husband and I met up at Porter Square in Cambridge in order to buy a gift for a friend of mine who just had a baby. Eeeee! Anyway, I'd had a low-key day, so I thought I'd make an event of it, seeing as I had my contacts on already (we played a little soccer after our run today, and that means that I, uh, don't wear something breakable near my face, although no way in hell am I gonna try to bounce a soccer ball with my head: those days are over, seventh-grade soccer!). I decided to shamelessly copy Thalia and Kendi and try to wear my maxi dress in a more autumnal manner, namely with a jacket (and scarf) and boots:

Thinkin' of Greece...

I actually really liked the effect. The pointy grey booties were a cool contrast with the long, flowy dress and the corduroy blazer and scarf grounded the summeriness of it all. 

(I'll tell you a secret: I was wearing tights under my dress!)

(I'll tell you another secret: I also wore a thin cardigan under my blazer for added protection: I've been seriously underdressed these past few days...)

I'd been missing my turquoise jewelry lately, so I decided to put that on, along with my new snake ring. I adored the combo:

"Well, lordy, lordy me..."

I love that snake ring, people. The detailing on it is amazing and I want to wear it all the time. I'm also scared that my other rings will get jealous.
