This dress... I bought it before Christmas at a Salvation Army that I had never been to as I was out of town visiting my aunt and uncle. I was delighted with the find. I love shirt dresses and this one had a perfectly full skirt. Plus, it's made by Coldwater Creek, which I have found to be a great brand. Their items are usually out of my price range, though - this cute denim shirt dress is $89.95. My dress? It cost my $3.50. Salvation Army to the rescue, yet again!

I'm not going to lie. I think my favorite thing about this dress is the way it swishes. Yes, swishes. I can walk and have the full skirt hit my arms as I walk. Something about that feels very dramatic, fun and pretty... am I the only one who loves this?

And, yes, that is my front door decorated for Valentine's Day. I'll take the hearts down soon, I swear.


This bracelet looks great but can be a bit uncomfortable. It has incredible weight to it so it tends to clang against everything all day long. I typically wear bracelets on my left wrist because I am left-handed - wearing bracelets on my right hand feels strange. This normally does not pose an issue until I wear this one and try to write all day long... its weight wins and before long, it is switched to my right wrist.

I can't wait to style this dress in different ways - I felt I should keep it original and simple the first time I wore it.
