Outfit: Vintage Retread

Happy New Year! My first post of 2011 shall be a plain old outfit post. Dull, I know.

This past Sunday I wore the same dress to church that I wore about a month ago to church. Either I am running out of clothes to wear, or I am finally coming around to idea of wearing things more than once. Well, I guess that's not fair. I quite often re-wear things throughout the week, but it's been something of an undeclared challenge to myself for the past few months to wear something new to church every week. I'm weird like that.

The key to re-wearing, though, is to always wear it different than you did before. Sure, it's a dress and there's not much I can do to change the way it looks, but accessories allow you to individualize your outfit and keep it unique. Last time I wore this dress...

... I wore my hair down, opted for my favorite maroon tights, and did my strappy heels. This time, I pulled my hair up and added my Brydferth headband, wore a patterned pair of tights, and went with boots. That's one of the reasons I love this dress so much; it's so versatile and can be styled many different ways. Expect to see at least one more post on it in the future.

Outfit: My New Best Boots

-Heritage 1981 Grey Dolman Sweater: $10.99, Forever 21
-Denim-Colored Cotton Skirt: $13, Macy's
-Brown Braided Belt: $6.80, Forever 21
-Brown Elle Booties: $34.99, Kohl's
-Ribbon Necklace: Gift, Unknown


I think these boots are the most wonderful things I have ever owned before. They are cute, extremely comfortable, and affordable. Quite honestly when I first bought them I had doubts about whether I was actually going to wear them much or not, because I figured for on $35 they probably weren't going to be comfortable or the fabric would be cheap, etc. But I really couldn't be happier with them.

And I love that they have small heel so they are very versatile. Flat-footed boots are generally only casual, and really high-heeled boots are generally only for more fancy outfits, but with heels at this height I can go either way.
