Whatcha Wearing?
Dress & sunglasses from H&M / Altama army boots from Goodwill
Free People vest from Crossroads Trading Co
Necklace was a gift from my mom / Bracelet from Target

Only one word can describe the weather on Saturday: GLORIOUS. We decided to make the most of the day by taking the train downtown to Chinatown for the Chinese New Year Parade and Festival. We had momentary flashbacks to NYC when our train was routed to shuttle buses because of weekend track work, but other than that it was a great way to spend a beautiful afternoon. We even had some tacos for lunch from one of the food trucks. I know we were in Chinatown, but tacos just sounded so good!

I bought this dress from H&M about 6 or 7 years ago and have been wearing it regularly through all four seasons ever since. It still looks as good as the day I brought it home! I love it when I find a piece of clothing that I never seem to get tired of, especially when I buy it new rather than second hand. That's a sign that you made a great purchase!

I'm linking up with Thrifters Anonymous, #YOLO Mondays, and The Pleated Poppy.

    Don't you love clothes like your dress that stay with you like that? I don't even want to admit how old some of the things I wear are. Some of them even feel "new" to me. Lovin your lip color and hair cut too, super cute. Glad I stumbled upon your blog, can't wait to read more! Have a great weekend :)

      I love when an old item can feel new again, just based on how you style it!

      I wear almost all of my dresses for 4 seasons. There's always a few that are summer only or winter only though...
