what i wore: tribal school girl ?

well, heelllooollo peaches and happy wednesday :) this week is a short week, YAY but it also means i only get one day off but tom and i are gonna make it count! if it rains we have one set of plans and if it doesn't then we have another set of plans...either way it will be good times.

i wore this outfit the other day to work. i got this dress at a thirft store a while back and just love the pattern so much. it feels like a nice basic without really being a basic, catch my drift. since it has been so nice and sunny i thought short sleeves would be great. and you know what...it wasn't that cold either. when i got out of the subway it was actually warm.

 i have a hard time layering sometimes, i often feel bulky but this felt really right. it was actually perfect. gloves and a scarf to keep me warm and i was set.

i have been meaning to make myself a black bow and last week i finally did. i am making a custom hat for a buddy close to work and one of the panels is black so i finally made one. i think it adds to the whole school girl feeling i got when i put this outfit together. rarely do i wear bows but a black one just seems like a basic hair accessory i should have and you know what....since making it i have worn is a ton!

what have you made that you are wearing a lot?

    Oh you are SO GORGEOUS! I am desperate for a bike but unless I find a mega bargain at the op shop, I have to wait until I find a job. Your dress is super cute and your bow is lovely lovely lovely. I wear my made-it-myself hair flowers all the time. Sarah xxx

    I love this dress! I can't believe it's thrifted! :) It's super cold here in NYC, so I've been wearing my hand-knitted scarves.

    I miss short sleeves. I think you got the layering down just right with this outfit. I had to squint at first to see the bow but now that I've found it I can say its super cute.

    gorgeous dress & how lovely to be wearing short sleeves too :) and the bow is so cute. I've been wearing a favourite hot pink flannel shirt to death recently (oh so warm and cute), my homemade wooly scarves & your delicious earrings! Have a great day off sweetie!

    ps hoping the weather stays good with you as Mum & Dad's cruise ship is visiting San Fran on 25/26th Jan & as it's their first visit I'm hoping for clear weather for them too :) xox

    I love that dress! I hear you about the layering=bulky thing. I see people pull it off all the time, but when I try some combinations, I look like I am wearing padding. This combo absolutely works on you, though.
