what i wore: giddy up

  well, hello everyone! how is your week treating you so far? today, my boss is back from her year in turkey and i am very excited to have her back. we didn't get to work together very much since right when i was hired she basically flew off and since then have skyped almost every day.  
 any who, today i am wearing one of my favorite dress. it is super plain but i love it for that reason. i got it thrifting a while ago but it's from target. 2 reason's why i love this dress: #1, the shilouette of this dress is reminscent of a 50's dress and #2 pockets! way to go target!

since the dress with the cardigan seemed so prim and proper i thought i would funk it up a bit by adding my favorite cowboy boots and not to forget my little army man bracelet! oh but can i just say the "c" necklace i have on, i have not taken off since i bought it. something about it i just love. maybe it is how delicate and simple it is...

details:
dress: thrifted but from target
cardigan: f21
socks: target
boots: thrifted
army man braclet: gift
c necklace: urban outfitters

xo,
cb

    Pockets make everything better. I really like how you funked it up with the cowboy boots. You would fit in so well in Texas :) PS the post is called Leather cause apparently thats what the third year anniversary gift is supposed to be...very weird.

      i think everything needs pockets. i have not purchased something because it either had shitty pockets or none at all. i guess you could say i am a pocket girl! i would love to fit in texas! would you show me around?

      ohh i guess that makes sense! hhmm.. so did you get kevin something leather?

    giddyup, you can't go wrong with cowboy boots, ever. I think they make any outfit look like you are not trying to hard and also can kick/haul ass if need be.

    a year in Turkey? good gosh, what a dream that'd be! i'm sure you've been plying her with q's about the whole awesome experience. glad to know you've got her back in the fold now :)

    and what an absolutely adorable look! spring uniform accomplished i'd say. cheeky little army man dude...almost looks like he's hangin' 10 on your arm - baha! i love how your creative spirit comes across with the pieces you choose to put together and this outfit is full of charm. ♥
