You know when something fits you absolutely perfectly and you want to wear it like every single day? Meet that piece of clothing in my life at this moment, the 'Public Library Dress' from August Wrinkle. This dress is AMAZING. I rave about a lot of clothing items, but seriously, seriously, can I live in this dress??
Pairing it with my favorite cozy sweater from Nordstroms, patterned tights, and boots (my go to!), I wore minimal jewelry and let the dress do all of the talking. I mean polka dots, a pretty collar and cute gold buttons? Does it get any better?! This outfit was perfect for a chilly, WINDY, winter day and transitioned perfectly for dinner in the evening.
On a side note, if you haven't noticed, twentiesgirlstyle.com is in desperate need of a facelift. I'm ridiculously picky and indecisive, hence the extremely plain, non-design. I am also 100% tech challenged and can not do anything design/html worthy. So many blogs I follow have adorable designs/layouts. Do you guys have any suggestions? xo
can i live with you in that dress???!! haha just kidding... kinda.
ReplyDeletebut seriously, you look amazing! also love your cardi :)

ReplyDeletejust so you know YOU are one of my favorite bloggers because of your amazlingly cute style.

ReplyDeleteI love this adorable dress on you and how you styled it - the riding boots, cozy cardigan, and textured tights? Oh yes, you know how to layer flawlessly!
Ooooh, and I know, I totally sympathize with you on the designing problem...gah, I am so lucky I won a giveaway once from a blog designer...but now, even I'm ready to update my blog. Only I'm the same as you - clueless when it comes to web design. If you find someone let me know!

Love it! The dress is so cute and I think you did a great job to combine it with this beautiful and casual cardigan. It matches really well. X
ReplyDeleteOkay, I had to comment back in response to that last sweet one you left me. Haha, thanks so much for the compliment Ashley! You know, when I was 14 I was such a bookworm and would often write my own short stories. I'd dream about writing my own novel, although I never hit on a storyline that I'd finish completely. Haha, maybe I've finally found one, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteyou looking so lovely!!!
