Daily Outfit: Putting it Together

I’m begining to feel like my wardrobe is finally clicking.  It’s still taking me awhile to get dressed in the morning, but each time I consider something, I think about how I feel wearing it.  For example, I have some items that fit fantastically, but are in fabrics that I don’t like.  I’m trying to cultivate a wardrobe of pieces that both look and feel fantastic, things that make me feel beautiful and confident all day long.  And I think that’s what I worked out with this outfit.

I wore this dress by itself when going out to a party, but I’d been having trouble figuring out a way that I could wear it to work.  Finally, it clicked today.  I was worried at first that this would be too warm, but the cardigan is cotton and the dress is viscose, so I was perfectly comfortable in the office and not too warm outside.  I wanted to wear something that would easily transition from work to going out for dinner, and this fit the bill perfectly.

I’ve been looking for a brown woven belt for awhile now.  I’d seen some new in the mall, but I was positive that I could find one used for cheaper, since this is something that frequently comes into style.  I found this perfect one while thrifting last week, for all of $2.

I’m glad to be breaking out my Dansko Neves again too.  I had been avoiding them for awhile, because they gave me blisters the last time I wore them.  This time I was prepared with band-aids, and they were just fine.  In fact, I’m considering purchasing a second pair of Dansko wedges.  One can never have too many shoes, right?

Also, my awesome mom took these pictures for me.  Thanks mom!
