sweater: target // dress: forever 21 (it's one of my new dresses from our little shopping trip!) //belt: tj maxx // shoes: payless // flojo: aratinga solstitialiscan you believe i'm not wearing anything vintage or thrifted in this outfit? neither can i. i almost feel a little high maintenance about it, but then i remember i only paid $2 for that leather belt and all is well. also, i've decided i'm way too shy to have chris take my pictures anymore, so when the camera's taking a picture and chris is walking by, i instinctively make some weird face. case in point, photo number 3.
I forever make weird faces if the hubs walks in while I'm taking outfit photos...I'm finally getting over having him take my outfit photos and I like to think I look slightly less awkward...And I totally know what you mean-I feel weird on days when I wear totally unthrifted outfits...I feel a little dirty...
ReplyDeleteisn't it strage how even with husbands - the ones who know us best - we still act all silly and weird when it comes to pictures? i don't get it!
Deletei kind of feel like i'm cheating on my vintage clothes when i wear all new things :\
now that is interesting- germans being attracted to sparkly things. my husband is 100% german, i will have to ask him if he agrees!
ReplyDeletealso-sometimes i decide i want to wear a necklace, or a bracelet, etc. before i know anything else and then usually end up panicking when nothing from my closet is working out!
love your new black dress! great f21 find!
hannah, i'm really curious to find out if your husband agrees!
Deletewhen i pick out an accessory, i have the same problem - nothing matches! it's so frustrating!
Haha, well high maintenance or not - this is SUCH a cute outfit! Love that gold belt Danielle :)

thank you, annie!
DeleteI really like that forever21 dress. I have been looking for a simple black dress for summer. But I don't know if I should really wear black since in AZ summers are brutal.
ReplyDeleteyeah, summers here are so bad, too, since the humidity is like 100%! but luckily this one is super lightweight, so i almost can't feel i'm wearing it!
Deletehaha. my neighbor caught me taking pictures of myself outside the other day and I made that exact face. love it.
ReplyDeletehahaha, aw, i bet you still looked cute, though!
Deleteha-ha you are to funny! that belt is awesome... I wonder by some stroke of luck they have it a the tjmax near me... probably not but worth a shot! great outfit!

well, i've had it for probably 6 months, but who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!
Deletei like to think we all have a little magpie in us because i may have a german last name but i am not at all german. i love me some sparkle and your is the the right stuff! i also love that you added flojo to your outfit details :D where can i buy one? hehe
ReplyDeletexo,
i always think magpies get a bad rep, but really, what girl doesn't like at least a little sparkle?! i think magpies are a step ahead of the rest of us ;)
DeleteLove the belt! I feel the same way when I realize I am wearing all 'new' things. It's kinda strange for me.
ReplyDeleteit rarely happens for me, and i think it's weird that i even pay attention to it, but i'm glad to know i'm not the only one!
DeleteYou are so prettyyyy. I had a friend who was attacked by a pack (gaggle? squadron?) of magpies and now he's phobic of birds.
ReplyDeleteoh no! so many people are afraid of birds and i just can't understand it! i'm attacked by one almost everyday, but then she usually kisses me after she's finished attacking and then i can't stay mad ;)
Deleteflojo is the coolest!
ReplyDeletealso, I love the details ... metallic belt and animal print shoes... bold pieces but carried so well and subtle-love!
also, i want that sweater.
xoxo!
