No Jimmy Choo's left? Not fair!

I was so excited previewing what H&M had in store for us on Sat (Nov 14). I thought finally, a couple of Jimmy Choo of my own! I couldn't go on Sat but I intended to go on Monday. After reading this article: Shoppers resell cut-price Jimmy Choo shoes on eBay for double the price, I might not be able to get my hands on any of the shoes tomorrow :(

Wearing Summer Maxi Dresses in Winter

I didn't get to wear my maxi dresses (most of them are empire waist) in the Summer more than I'd like to. Now I'd really like to wear them since it's not too cold here in the Bay Area sometimes even though winter's here already.

I think I can wear them by layering them with turtle necks or long sleeves tops but I also can wear them underneath some cardigan sweaters. I haven't updated my cardigans with the draped look since I thought it would only draw attention to my wide hips if I don't wear them with belts. If I'm going to wear them over maxi dresses and if I pick the right ones, I hope they will work together and only compliment the dress. So the hunt continues.

Here are some great candidates for me to choose from:
