One of my favorite looks right now...

... is wearing a short-ish dress with a maxi length cardigan.

As I see it, this is the perfect way to stay warm and cozy while looking pretty and feminine at the same time, especially if you wear a dress and a cardigan with nice, warm boots (which is what I do, myself).

I actually prefer patterned maxi cardigans, but since I didn't have any maxi length cardigans when I got into this look, I thought starting off by buying some plain, solid color ones would be smarter. This is why I got these two to start off on Ebay:

But now that I have those, I really look forward to buying some more patterned ones too!
