The Must-have Winter Event Dress + The Cosy Outfit That I’m Loving and a Discount Code

With FEMME Connection

As it cools down this time of year, I often find my wardrobe ‘mojo’ seems to have gone missing. I think as it is often warm for so long, I tend to forget how to dress for this time of year, and with limited time in the morning I fall back upon the same outfits, over and over again (or variations of!).

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I find I often I feel a bit flat, a bit deflated, feeling the need for something different. And then there is the winter event invitations – when I want to dress up, but still feel warm – when often I want to just slink into a pair of trackies.

Well my friends, I have recently come across an online store that you might want to bookmark – stat – because not only have I found some perfect outfits to fit the above predicaments, but they’re also SUPER affordable. The must-have winter event dress? TICK. The cosy outfit that still looks polished? TICK. Interested? Come this way, my friends!

The store is called FEMME Connection and I have styled two outfits today that fit perfectly into my lifestyle, and I think you’ll love them, too.

The must-have winter event dress

The first outfit includes what I am dubbing my must-have winter event dress.  Have a winter wedding, engagement party, birthday party? This is your dress. Long sleeved, zip front (would be great for breastfeeding too), flattering cut and a gorgeous winter floral pattern that would work back with a varied assortment of accessories. It also has pockets. Enough said. Oh, and it’s only $44.99. Here’s how I styled it.

FEMME Connection printed zip front maxi dress AUD$44.99 (8-16)

The cosy winter outfit I’m loving

You know those days when you want to be warm and comfortable but just can’t leave the house in your trackies? Well, this is the second best thing. Seriously! Stretchy and comfortable, these ponte style pants ($39.99 – I’m wearing 10) will work as pants on their own, however would also be a warm underlay to dresses as well. I’ve paired them with a simple tee of my own and topped it all off with some texture and interest (and warmth) with a gorgeously soft poncho ($39.99 – I’m wearing 8/10), which I’ve just finished off with some tan boots. Comfy, warm yet polished. Perfect!

FEMME Connection slim side zip trim pants AUD$39.99 (8-18)
