I paired a flowing maxi (dress worn as a) skirt with strappy sandals, a white turtleneck and a matching white pea coat. To put an east coast friendly spin on this outfit you could swap out the sandals for black over the knee boots and layer 2 (or even 3!) pairs of sheer or opaque nylons underneath for extra warmth. You can also layer a tank or an extra turtleneck under your top, depending on how cold it is.
So unique and beautiful combination!
