Shifted Leather

February 29th, 2012
Gap Dress, Anthropologie Necklace, Vintage Clutch, Dries Van Noten Sandals, Essie Cute as a Button Nail Polish

I hadn’t been to a Gap since I bought these pants about a year ago and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by all of the great pieces in store. I came home with this dress, which has the feel of a classic shift, but hugs in all of the right places instead of feeling overly boxy. And since I’ve been wearing my chambray shirts to the point of holes, I picked up a similar version in a faded pink that will make for a nice replacement.

    That dress fits you perfectly and I love the color! Going to check it out now. And btw, I still don’t have a headboard, which I justify because my bedroom has sloped ceilings and I prop up a million pillows to fill the space. But yellow and gray have long been a favorite combo. It looks perfectly cozy.

    You look beautiful! The necklace is great and its colours match so well with your dress.
