 When winterizing a summer piece like this skirt, layering is very important.  Here I chose a layering technique of short over long over short.  I chose a long knit vest to layer over the short skirt and under the short blazer.  Mixing different lengths and textures helps to add more weight to a thinner piece such as this skirt. 
Wearing a thicker tight serves a more functional purpose than a fashionable one.  Luckily I owned a pair that went well with this ensemble.  I am pretty partial to opaque tights in the colder months because they are a bit thicker.  Also ribbed tights give more texture and weight as well.   Booties are always my go to shoe when I am trying to ground a more feminine piece such as this floral skirt.
