Something old, Something new

Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to do an outfit post. I haven't worn this shirtdress in probably a year. I got it online from Ruche, which is an incredible online shop. I love the print and color, but it just sort of has a wonky fit and I suspect it was designed to be worn by someone with less butt. I put it on yesterday, though, and belted it, which seemed to fix the wonkiness for the most part. As you can see, my Target boots are a new favorite in my stable of footwear. If I'm not too exhausted after work today I think I'm going to go out and try to get a new pair of heels for work. Otherwise, I have a feeling I'm going to wear these boots with everything...

I've been really liking wearing my bangs curly lately. That is, when they decide to be agreeable. Well, either way they don't like being agreeable...oh well.

The other night I raided my old high school closet and put on a bunch of my old homecoming/prom dresses. I have this one dress from my freshman year, and I put it on and wow! It's kind of super sexy. Back when I wore it as a 15 year old it seemed so innocent, basic and pretty, but now it's like, POW! Very slinky-understated-Bond-girl. Open back, black, long. I kind of wish I had any sort of fancy occasion to wear it to. Or any sort of suitor to knock out with it. Hahah! Actually I don't really wish for a suitor right now, but when I eventually do want one, I'll keep the dress in mind.

Oh, and I don't know about you guys, but I love free stuff. Head over to

My hair is pretty much the same as yours...I gave up on having a fringe because it's so damn hard to style! I really miss it though and need to find a way to work it. :-\

You look awesome.

I LOVE your dress! I think that little trick with the belt is the perfect fix (I do the same thing a lot). Your boots are awesome too. I love trying on old dresses from high school- it's always funny to see what kind of stuff I liked and also a little confidence booster when I can fit into them!
