This post is for Anonymous, who was looking for some NYC winter options for the Sabine Dress (now $80, review here) by Moulinette Soeurs.
The weather’s been unseasonably warm in NYC and this look is partly inspired by that. For now regular tights (or on some days no tights at all) will work fine but come colder days you’ll want a nice pair of wool tights to keep your legs warm. We threw 2 different cardigan options in. The one on the left has vertical lines that mimic the effect in the dress while the cardigan on the right is another solid to keep congruency. You could add a belt if you so desire. We’d recommend brown leather. We picked booties as the shoe option here because they’ll serve you well rain or shine. With weather in mind we also offered a couple of weatherproof bag options. You just never know what it’s going to be like in the city from one day to another.
In this outfit:
Tiered Plumeria Necklace ($32)
Lobelia Bud Earrings ($28)
Sabine Dress (now $80)
Spirited Stitches Cardigan ($98, review here)
Prairie Rose Cardigan ($88, review here)
LeSportsac Erika Nylon Tote ($80)
Kate Spade New York Union Square Eliza Nylon Tote ($345)
Opaque Tights in Dark Grey ($13)
Moonbeam Tights ($18)
Pour La Victoire Brenda Ankle Boot ($280)
Coffee of your choosing
Come nasty weather there’s no way around it — you need a good pair of boots. Especially since maintenance teams insist on spraying the sidewalk with water even when the temperature is below freezing. If you want to bring a pair of flats to change into once you’re at work go for it, but we see plenty of ladies rocking their (f)uggs all day long. This time around we went for a simple cardigan and presented two different color options. And we figured that come cold nastiness you’d be underground on the subway anyway so why not have a leather bag? None of these will protect you from the wind tunnels that form on the avenues…but at least you’ll look great below your winter coat!

Hi Roxy. I love your suggestions for this dress. I own it and was at a bit of a loss as to how to wear it (I'm also in NYC, and I'm sure winter will eventually make it here). Sorry for the random topic, but I was just reading your review of the Rinzu Robe and wanted to ask you a question. I've been debating about this robe/dress for about a week and finally decided to order it, but when I went online, the small was sold out. I'm going to try to hunt one down in stores, but given that it's a wrap style, do you think it would be possible to size up to a M? Thanks!
Hi Roxy,I follow your blog a lot although I have never commented. I love your styling suggestions. I'm considering buying the two Leifsdottir tops: Gulliver's Blouse http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/produ… and the Seurat Posie Blouse http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/produ… I'm hesitant to buy them and have them sit in my closet. Any suggestions how I would style them. Thanks!
Anon, I absolutely think you could do a medium. I found the robe to be close-fitting around my curves. The M might be a bit loose on you but you could always throw a belt over it if needed. If you want to try it on the Soho store has the robe. (Or at least it did as of Friday). It's towards the back of the store near the bed on the right side where the bedding is. It's on a rack at the end of the bed along with a few chemises. Hope that helps, please let me know how it works out!
Hi Roxy. I was the originator of the sabine dress request and thank you very much for your great ideas!
Maybe I should have left my name. I asked the comment about the Leifsdottir tops.
All requests up to here have been noted. 🙂
Roxy — can you style the Jacquard Sweater tank. I'm not sure what I can put over it to winterize it.
