I can't help but feel like Betty Draper when I wear this dress. And now, with the cardigan, it's even more housewifey. The knee socks and girl shoes make it feel more schoolgirl, though. For my work we're not supposed to have bare legs as it's now fall and we're supposed to be dressing "on trend". So I pretended that knee socks counted at leggings/tights. Plus, going bare-legged in these temperatures is getting a little outrageous. Still no snow though, as you can see. It's not even in the forecast for the next week! It sure is cold enough for it.

I think I'm going to continue to shoot outside when the snow hits. I think it will be fun to not only have outfits documented, but also seasons. I think one of the fun things about blogging is seeing the passage of time, through both seasons and the evolution of my own style. So, my pledge to you is the same as the post office: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Maybe not the gloom of night part. I still need lighting.
Well, I'm off to work for the day. Off to see what is in store for me in the wide world of retail and visual merch...

So gorgeous! I just want to smish your face and muss your hair. Definately love the dress and the cardigan. They are made for eachother
love the dress. I remember seeing it as cossette. that's the sucky part of our winters. no light for photos! I'm already stuggling. it's dark when I go to work, it's dark when I get home. hmph. make it work somehow.
Love your dress! Stunning color combination!

my god, i am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo envious of your hair. it is actually PERFECT!! it is what i aspire mine to be one day....maybe in ten years when i can grow it that long.
I love the brightness of your cardigan and the print of that dress together! and I love your blog too, so glad I found it :)

That dress + that cardigan + ohmygod, that hair = perfection.
Well done outfit! And the rules were bare legs NOT bare knees so the socks should pass =)
Great colour combo.
This is so pretty! Love the cardigan belted like that and it's such a great color. I was dodging rain to get pics today and I definitely am going to try to keep the outdoors in pics in the snow...we'll be little frozen ice people together!
You know, I don't think I would have thought to pair the dress with that cardigan...but looking at them together, it's absolutely perfect! Good eye!
I came across your blog through ModCloth, and I've spent the past couple of days reading through some of the archives. I really enjoy seeing your outfits and hearing what you have to say! I'm hoping to start a store/blog soon, and you're quite inspiring :)
