Winter wonderland, or something

Snowy here in Seattle... and I got the brought idea that it would be ever so fun to do a photo shoot in a white dress in the snow.
So I got my mother to humor me, threw on this totally seasonally inappropriate outfit, and had a blast for about ten minutes (which was all I could stand without feeling overwhelmingly cold)
Here's the best of the shots:





I do not condone dressing like this without a coat in the winter. (No, seriously. Winter coats. They're important. Take it from someone who got trapped in a snowstorm without one once. WEAR A WINTER COAT!) However, with a little more layering up top, it is a totally doable outfit even in the winter. The trick to getting it as warm as I did (and therefore making this entire endeavor bearable) was layering the tights.
I actually have a regular pair of leggings AND decently thick socks on underneath the tights. The boots are tall enough that no one would notice the socks or the uneven seam, since the tights are a bit on the sheer side to begin with, all the black really does is make the color appear deeper and richer. So yes, it IS possible to wear dresses with tights in the snow. Just... layer.
