And on with the post...
So I had the opportunity to wear my recently thrifted shirt dress to work....
The fabric is a heavier cotton and I thought that maybe it would be too heavy for Texas summer, but I was proved wrong. On the day I wore it, we were getting rain from the hurricane and the humidity forced the air conditioners into full force. I could have used some leggings or tights and an additional shirt layered underneath!
I did try it with socks after I got home, but it just didn't do it for me...
But these sandals sure worked for me! They were a Christmas gift 2 years ago. (Or at least I got a gift certificate to purchase them.) As much as I love them, however, I don't wear them that much. So this was the perfect opportunity! They had just enough red for me to bring out this old DKNY clutch, which sort of looks like a giant coin purse.
In case you were wondering what that weird glowing thing was around my neck, I also wore the Lucite necklace I picked up a few months ago.Shirt dress success! I think the dress will be in heavy rotation this fall...tights, boots...STOP! Seriously, it's to soon to be talking about fall!

Yes, that shirt dress is fantastic. You should def get lots of use out of that! Sorry to hear about the dreadful weather. The worst is when the AC is on full blast causing the inside to be drastically different from the outside.
you look pretty. i love the dress: very simple, and sweet.
by the way, about the 50s that's very similar to doherty, what's his name? :) i'll hunt for his books right away. i'm a big fan of artistic writings. thank you for the info, by the way. :)
