First off, I have to say… I am beyond in love with this LulaRoe aztec print Amelia dress. This was one of my “unicorns” (you know, meaning that I searched and searched for it because it was so hard to find) and when I found it, it’s like I heard a chorus of celebratory cheers! And it has not disappointed… it’s beautiful! I get compliments on it EVERY time I wear it. I also love that at this stage of my pregnancy people will say, “Oh, that’s such an adorable maternity dress!” and I love that I can say, “It’s not even a maternity dress! WOOHOO!” The fit of the Amelia is just one of those fits that is flattering on almost any body type – pregnant or not. Plus, I mean… POCKETS. (Check out posts where I’ve worn other styles of LulaRoe Amelia dressess here, here, and here.)
Back to the subject at hand – THE WEATHER. Look, I don’t like to be one of those people who only talks about the weather… but let’s be serious for a second. THIS WEATHER IS OUT OF CONTROL. With this exception of a little bit of chill and cool air this past weekend, it’s been in the 60s and 70s here in North Carolina for most of December! And it’s supposed to be in the 70s on Christmas day this year! WHAT?!
I mean, I’m not complaining, but it certainly makes getting dressed every day a little bit of a guessing game. Do I need a jacket? Will this be warm enough? Do I bring a sweater? Why is it so hot all of a sudden? Do I wear shorts? Is it time to go to the pool or something?!
It’s when weather like this (that’s so bizarre and all over the charts) hits that I love dresses and boots because they’re easy to “warm up” or “cool down” – if that makes sense. I can throw on a jacket, sweater, or blazer… or I can wear as-is and be totally comfortable.
It’s even been nice enough to eat outside! I’m a fan. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good, solid snowfall… but this unseasonably warm weather is certainly welcome to stick around for just a LITTLE while longer. 🙂
Today IS the first day of WINTER after all…
What about you? What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods? Normal or unseasonably warm or cool? What do you like to wear when the weather is crazy unpredictable?

The dress is really pretty and a lovely fit too. Our weather in the UK is all over the place too – cold one day, then almost like spring the next! It’s not very Christmassy but saves on the heating bill!

Thanks so much for the feature, Molly 🙂 It sure doesn’t feel like winter, not even at the East Coast. Anyway, I put on my heavy coat this weekend. For some reason, I’m missing the cold weather :0 (which I’m not really into). You look lovely in your floral dress, so festive!

I have gotten recently obsessed with Lularoe and joining FB groups and shopping. I had to pull the plug, but I want an Amelia so much! My mom got me one for Christmas, but it was early on in my LLR days so it’s not my favorite pattern, and now I want more! Do you ever wear the Nicole? Also, I’m noticing your different Amelias are different lengths. Do you get them hemmed?
Great questions! I have a couple nicoles! I like the nicole a lot but I prefer the Amelia on my body type… and the hem length probably looks different because of my belly hahaha… but I don’t get any of mine hemmed 🙂
Have a very Merry Christmas!

That IS a great dress–the print and style are so flattering! Great find indeed. I can’t get over the weather either. I live in Kansas City and it’s supposed to be in the upper 50s, low 60s this week…nuts!
Yep I agree, the dress is amazing! What a fabulous find. And the weather here in NC is delightful. I’m loving the warmth and that it’s going to be in the 70s this week. Definatly not a white Christmas for us!

Gorgeous dress, and I TOTALLY feel you with the dress & boot combo. I’ve been wearing that a ton to deal with the unseasonably warm weather as well!
