I convinced my boyfriend to snap a few quick photos of my outfit today... nevermind our super dim glow lighting. Ah, apartment life. :)
Dress: Leslie Fay, Thrifted, $1.80
Blouse: Old Navy, $7 (clearance)
Booties: Sofft, Thrifted, $6.20
Bracelets: Forever21, Old
Glasses: SEE Eyewear
This is probably the first and the last time I will wear this dress. I never tried it on when I bought it as I was at one of those thrift stores that doesn't have dressing rooms. Yeah, one of those. Anyway, I clearly misjudged it because it's rather large on my frame. The bottom is ok but I was swimming in the top without this blouse over it. It's too bad because I do love me a good vintage Leslie Fay dress. :)
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm dressing in black and white all week. I was inspired by today's Everybody, Everywear but it's also, hands down, my favorite color combination. It is so easy and always looks good!
Hopefully you'll stay tuned to see how I rock out with my black and white out the rest of the week... or, um, something like that. :-)
Too bad the top is so big, but I do love it with the blouse layered over it! My favorite thrift store has the smallest dressing rooms EVER. Not even worth it unless you want to smash your elbows and head against the walls the entire time, ha!
ReplyDeleteOh that blouse is so pretty on you - I can't believe it's from Old Navy!
ReplyDeleteGreat chic secretary look!

Aww too bad about the dress being too big! It is gorgeous though!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the world of blogging more regularly! No worries about taking the time off, we all need that time and space away. Then, hopefully, we come back a better blogger in the end. - Katy
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute look, but like you, I've had Leslie Faye's I loved, but swam in! I never try anything on when I thrift.
ReplyDeleteI love how you layered the shirt on top of your dress. What a great way to stretch a shirt's use!
ReplyDeleteI hate thrift stores without dressing rooms -- you really need to plan your shopping outfit well. Better luck next time :).

At least your boyfriend lets you turn on the top light, mine has a deep aversion to it, so it's literally a little man cave in here, haha! Anyway, a suggestion for the dress...don't know how hard this would be, but I envision a really cute little strapless dress made with the skirt! Do you see it? With the buttons down the front and a belt?
ReplyDeleteI love the print on that dress! Maybe you can finagle a sewing friend into taking it in for you! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad, I totally thought, "What a cute skirt!" before I saw that it was a dress. Maybe you could figure out how to make it into a skirt.
ReplyDeletelove that top, I'd totally wear that!
ReplyDeleteI love our B&W outfit! The pattern mixing is great too! I'm visiting from EBEW and would love for you to join my ABC's of Style challenge at http://fashionsgreatesthits.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI love the layering! What a great outfit!
