We were inspired by the rich red of the invitation and the plummeting temperatures outside to devise this ensemble that is both cozy and stylish. Be set for the slush and snow in these Hunter Boots that can be checked at the door as you slip into the Jimmy Choo Pony Hair Pumps. The Piazza Sempione Jersey Dress‘s flattering style is perfect for wearing now and will take you right into spring. It is a bit of a chameleon, as you can change the look of is to dress it up or down. Here we have wrapped it with the gorgeous Oscar de la Renta Perforated Belt. On top of it all the Dolce and Gabbana Red Trench Coat is a show stopper, and when paired with the Reed Krakoff Boxer Tote, well you can just take a bow!
