What I Wore

I've enjoyed lurking around Wardrobe Remix on Flickr for quite some time, so I've finally decided to join in on the fun!

White dress - Target
Vest - Forever 21
Houndstooth tights - Target
Slouchy boots - Fred Meyer
Bracelet - Fremont Sunday Market (Seattle)

I love the idea of mixing contrasting pieces, so I think the vest and the houndstooth pattern work really well with the girly dress. (The bracelet is probably one of my favorite pieces of jewelry - I usually like bargaining for vintage pieces, but the old lady who was selling it was so tiny and cold that her entire body was quivering, so I paid the full $10.)
