Whatcha Wearing?
Studio by Liz Claiborne dress and vintage blouse from Goodwill
Tights from Forever21 / AK Anne Klein boots from Beacon's Closet

I wore this exact outfit for Thanksgiving and Festivus, but didn't have a chance to photograph it either time. If you don't know what Festivus is please educate yourself here. Our group of friends has been celebrating it every December 23 for the past 10 years!

I originally bought this dress for my Etsy shop thinking it was from the late 80s/early 90s. Well I was wrong. A little research showed me that it was actually from the mid-2000s and therefore not vintage at all! I was worried it wouldn't fit me since it's a petite size, but the only problem was the sleeves. I couldn't move my arms at all, so I just took them off. That made it perfect for layering! I love how there are mixed prints built into the dress with the polka dot underskirt, and thought it would be fun to take it one step further with the floral blouse. A few simple pieces, but a lot going on!

I'm linking up with Two Thirty-Five Designs, Thrifters Anonymous, and #YOLO Mondays.
