Engineering%2BIn%2BStyle%2B-%2BRed%2BDre

I've had this red sweater dress for years.  It's pretty basic - form fitting, scoop neck and on the shorter side.  But it's one of my winter favorites.  Normally I just wear it with a black belt, tights and boots, but a couple weeks ago I decided that was too boring and wanted to pair it with my LL Bean Lambswool scarf.  I could have just tied the scarf, but the scarf belting trend is going around, and why not?  It really ties the scarf to the outfit, literally.

A quick note about my boots...they are real leather and I paid $19 for them!  This is their first blog appearance, even though I've had them for a few months.  JustFab has incredibly good prices to begin with, and was offering 75% off your first pair of shoes when I joined!  After some breaking in, these boots are super comfy.  I will say I wish they were taller.  Over the knee they might be for those of you more petite than me.

And lets just ignore that I can't keep the shoulder pad of my camera bag on my shoulder.
