Why:

I’ve never been able to buy something and then let it sit in my closet for days, weeks, months. Usually I run home and want to put my new threads on right away, so I am pretty proud that I actually made it a whole 48 hours before wearing any of the great pieces I found while rummaging the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday with Pamela. Check out a play by play of our adventures at the Brooklyn Flea on her blog here.

This red dress just jumped out at me. I’m trying to expand my wardrobe, incorporate more color, more vintage, and different cuts and styles. I tried this dress on at least 10 different ways before my “wardrobe advisers” insisted I wear it like this (with black shorts underneath). I think I liked it better some of the other ways I styled it, but oh well, this just means I already know how I’m going to remix this and wear it again. I love the ease of a slip-on sheath, and the shoes were too cute to pass up (especially at $10).

Overall I’m proud I’m stepping it up and wearing a cute Monday outfit. Have a good week everyone!
