I love paisleys. They are like happy little fish. I grabbed this dress a week ago (or was it two?) at Salvation Army. I spent a good chunk of time there and loved this little thing for its paisleys and colors. It was half-off day, but at 24.99 this was still going to set me back a few bucks (I'm unemployed and cheap!), and when I got to the register the lovely woman said the dress was marked incorrectly and gave it to me for 7$. I was overjoyed! I am thinking I will shorten it--as it is it's just the tiniest bit too long for me to want to wear it all the time--but we'll see if I ever get around to that!
I also believe this is the first actual picture of my favorite tweed blazer, gifted to me for Christmas by my boyfriend. I have a hard time not wearing it with everything. To solve this problem, I attempted to make it different by pulling the belt from the dress and tossing it on top!
Consequently, I do wear the scarf just about every day.
We're back to out-door pictures! We'll run back into the studio now-and-then, but I missed seeing my front walk and the little chronicling pictures of what the weather is doing.
You've got a fantastic coat AND a boyfriend that knows how to give a good gift. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, John certainly does know how to gift you :D Also you look FABULOUS in paisley, I approve whole-heartedly!
ReplyDeleteAnd yaaaaay shoe excitement!!! I have jewelry set aside for you miss, hopefully right up your fun-odd-pendant-alley :D
Absolutely gorgeous dress!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so rich, I love this combo. I tend to add jackets and scarves to my outfit, but after I taken the picture, lol.
ReplyDeleteok, your calling the paisleys little fish just made my day.
ReplyDeleteawesome dress.
i love the dress and the scarf together! beautiful!
ReplyDeletewow love the mixed paisleys!
ReplyDeleteyou really look gorgeous in that jacket and dress! and they go so well together!
ReplyDeleteI like your post.
ReplyDeleteAnd also adore your so cute coat!
That outfit definitely fits you girl..=)
I congratulate you on that..;D
You are lucky for having a good boyfriend..
Nice post,hope to see you on my blog too..=)
Take care..
Very sophisticated combination. Puts me in mind of something the Duchess of Windsor would have worn out at a country estate.
ReplyDeleteI love the way that you belt on the jacket, very lovely. I also love paisley - I need more!
ReplyDeleteI love that blazer! What a wonderful boyfriend you must have.
ReplyDeletethe belt looks like it matches the scarf, cool
ReplyDeleteThanks all :D John (boyfriend) is expert at gifts indeed! I <3 him.
ReplyDeleteCras4: The belt actually matches the dress! I have a terrible shortage of belts--I used to hate them--so I threw that one on in desperation :D
GORGEOUS dress - truly looks like a high-end designer work, such detail.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love that? I got so giddy when I went to Kohls and got these Candies flats for what I thought was a bargain at $10. Turned out to be $5! Simple pleasures, eh?
what? your boyfriend is a gift god!
ReplyDeletealso, i think it's perfectly ok to wear something all the time as long as you're not bored of it yourself (how can you be given how fabulous the scarf is?). i've noticed that other people don't ever pay attention to minor detail as others' scarves.
You've been given an award on my blog :]
ReplyDeleteI've never been one for paisleys, but I love how you mixed them here. It makes me want to give them another chance. Oh, and I love the alliteration in your title :)
ReplyDeletePretty paisleys! Perfectly pristine, positively pleasurable. :)
ReplyDeleteI love paisley prings and your blog :-) Very nice.

How lucky you are to have such a smart boy friend with such impeccable taste <3! That blazer was truly made for you, and I love how you paired it with that scarf and belt, quite inspired. I definitely understand how it can be when you get a new item that you cherish and want to wear it everyday! I probably have about fifteen scarves and yet I only wear about two of them, haha. Also, I love your outdoor pictures as well--it looks like you live in such a cute little neighborhood so don't worry about not taking the pictures in the studio (although, your studio is AMAZING!).
ReplyDeleteOkay, well I hope you are well, and sorry if this comment was a tad on the lame side, haha.
Ciao ciao dear <3
