Is it okay to pair leggings and a turtleneck with a summer-dress?

I am making this a poll so you can answer freely without thinking that my feelings would be hurt..haha.
Okay, so, it is getting chilly here at night and even though Leela has a seriously out-of-control wardrobe, she has nothing to wear in the fall/winter!! What happened?!

So, my question is, would it be okay to pair some matching leggings and a long-sleeved onesie with a summer dress.. or would this look ridiculous? Since she is my baby, i think she looks cute in anything, but is this really OKAY?

For example... would it be okay to pair this April Cornell dress with an ivory or white turtle neck and some yellow leggings/sweatpants??

Thanks in advance!!

Rashmi,

I think it depends on the fabric. I have a dress for Bella that is a Hann winter line - they show it with leggings and long sleeves but Bella has worn it alot in the spring with just a short sleeve shirt. Since its cotton it works fin. I can't tell how light that fabric is so not sure.

Ditto! :)

When you say light, do you mean thickness Helene? None are too thick... they are all light--weight cotton (knits or woven).
What about the Hanna striped swingdress for example? Would that look silly with blue-sweatpants and a shirt inside??

ETA: And if the answer is YES then the diaper-cover is eliminated right? I mean, i don't put the diaper cover OVER the leggings do i??

I don't think that this Hanna dress would look good with anything under it. Plus the colors are very summery. :)

Yes by light I mean thickness. If they were linen or poplin I wouldnt do it. It is hard for em to say tha Hanna dress since I havent seen it. The Hanna dress I do it with is the floating flowers. It was in their winter ctalog but I think the colors are more sping summery. But it came with a heavy winter coat so she wears it all seasons.

I agree with Denise, I wouldn't put anything under those Hanna dresses. They are definitely not fall dresses.

Other than that, most times it is fine to pair a jumper type dress with a shirt and leggings. Unless it is the type that is really just a summer dress.

Denise, help me here girlie! So what colours would be okay? I ordered some Naartjie Raspberry stuff the other day.. and since it is from the FALL line, i am assuming that those are okay for the fall/winter... a rather bright pink. But a summer yellow would not be right? How about light or baby pink?
We have both these dresses that are cuddly soft from pokkadots (under the nile brand)... would these look okay with leggings.. they are on the short side though.. above the knee.

ETA: What about this Carters dress that my best friend gave her.. too summery huh? It is white with a pink-gingham border and little flowers.

It depends on the fabric and design.

We pair sleeveless jumpers with tnecks and leggings ALL the time. Then, come summer, dd wears them alone! The April cornell is a great example - it would go great with that combination. The hanna dresses wouldn't, though. Plus, aren't they cut short in the back?? I can't remember.

As for the short sleeve dresses, we do pair them with leggings a lot, as the school doesn't allow dresses without something underneath.

My vote would be "no" on the Carter's dress (too summery, I think), and "yes" on the two striped ones. Even if they are short, they'll just look a little like swing tops.

It's good to see you back, Rashmi!
