navy dress take 3: an outift post

last night i had absolutely no idea what in the world i'd wear today, and when that happens, i always think the easiest thing to do is go with solid colors, because they're so much easier to work with (for me, at least). so then i figured, "hey, why not wear the navy dress again for outfit number 3?" i apologize for the pictures not being that great, but when you combine wind, cold, and a husband with a bad knee, well, i'm lucky to get pictures at all!

jacket: american eagle (from probably 8 years ago), cardigan: vintage/thrifted, dress: lulu's, scarf: gift, tights: target, shoes: target

i have to tell you a few things about this outfit. first, that cardigan is straight out of the 1950's. i was so happy when i found it (because it's a tiny size that fits me perfectly) and because it still had the original tag on it so i know it had never been worn. and the price on the tag was $17, so if it was that much back in the 50's i know it must have been something pretty special! the next thing i'm so excited about is the shoes! i love this style, although i wasn't so sure about the color, but now that i have them, AND I PAID LESS THAT TEN DOLLARS, i can't understand how i lived without them! i get so crazy about a deal.

other than that, it was sort of a weird day. i'm glad to be home, and i'll be even more glad to be eating greek pizza later. ooohh yeah.

    So I am one of those creepy readers that has been a fan for awhile, but has only lurked around and not commented. So, sorry about that. BUT, I can't pass up saying that those.shoes. are amazing. I am the same way when it comes to clothes, if I am having a rough time I go to bascis - and looks I know I already love! Great dress!

      thank you! i never want to complain about pictures that chris is nice enough to take for me, because it's nice having an in-house photographer, but i won't lie, i do wish i had one of those high dollar cameras like other blogger to have the prettiest pictures with all that bokeh in the background!

    I love this color combo on you & WOW that sweater is such a find! I found a hand knitted sweater at the salvation army thrift store once. I still have it. It has hand made buttons, no tags & is perfectly done by someone's grandma. =) & those shoes! Well, you know I could never pull them off without looking like a sasquatch, but I am so jealous at how hard you rock them!

      thanks, cal! i always love when i find a vintage thing that you know was made by hand; it makes the piece so special (even though you don't know the person that made it) because you know it's unique.

      adri!!! here's how to dress like me: first figure out what's clean. from there decide what fits the best, then add one thing you rarely wear, and your outfit is complete!
