Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! I hope you're doing something fattening this Tuesday :) I'll be having a regular, ordinary afternoon and wishing that I was throwing beads around down in New Orleans instead.
(dress: plato's closet; chambray shirt: walmart; scarf: tjmaxx; boots: seychelles; tights: hue; necklace: jewelmint)
This dress is one of my very favorites, and it's definitely appropriate for the seventies revival happening this spring. I'm not sure I'll ever bust out my bellbottoms (not because I don't like them, but because I rarely wear jeans... maybe I should challenge myself), but I can certainly channel that seventies vibe with this classic chevron-print sweaterdress in a gradient of browns.
Speaking of challenge, this week I'm making a concerted effort not to wear my Seychelles oxfords. I literally wear them with everything, and while I will still love and adore them until the end of time, I do have about four hundred other shoes clamoring for attention in a very crowded closet. So far, so good! In fact, I might even try to wear a different pair of shoes every day this week! Wish me luck :) Also, it has officially stopped snowing (thank goodness), but all of the freezing and thawing that has been going on lately caused a break in the pump that supplies water to my little town, and now we have to boil our water before drinking, brushing teeth, preparing food, etc. I feel like I'm living in the Dark Ages. Or, as Snooki would say, "I feel like a pilgrim from the f**king 'twenties washing this sh*t in the sink!"/"boiling this water before drinking!"

PS: I am a MAJOR pasta lover. There is no way I could ever turn my back on carbs. Give me a bowl of spaghetti and a loaf of bread and I'm in heaven.
Me too! I could eat nothing but bread for the rest of my life and be totally happy! The '70s vibe of the dress is really fun and I love how long and skinny the scarf is!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha! Your Snooki comment cracked me up. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! The unexpected color combos are just perfect.
How I wish I could be at Mardi Gras as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm in the same boat--- I have to make a conscious effort not to wear my saddle oxfords with everything.. if you only knew!
You're a gem, by the way. I hope you're having a wonderful week! (I keep wanting to type weekend bc I'm on spring break.. so I forget that it's a hardcore weekday.)
cute outfit, love the colors anr this great dress ;)
ReplyDeletehugs!
Watching the waves
Brilliant dress :) Love the chevron pattern and colours
ReplyDeleteI am a pilgrim too. No hot water since Friday (RIP boiler) so keeping house and self clean is.. interesting.
That dress is so lovely! I have the tendency to wear one pair of shoes over and over as well, so maybe I should join you in this whole wearing a different pair every day for a week challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love pasta, definitely my favorite starch and your dinner looks delicious!
ReplyDeletelove the dress too! the seventies style is awesome
