I love so many things about this outfit, I’m not sure where to begin…
I was sort of on the fence about buying these shoes last year (couldn’t really justify the need for orange shoes), but I’m sooooo glad I did. They just make me feel happy whenever I wear them. And besides, I got them on clearance at Loehmann’s for like thirty bucks.
This scarf has huge sentimental value. I purchased it the day after my husband and I got married. It was unexpectedly windy, so I purchased it as we were leaving our hotel for brunch. He calls it my “honeymoon scarf” and smiles every time I wear it. We also have a “honeymoon umbrella” that I’m banned from ever using because I have terrible luck with those things (they either wind up lost or broken).
The dress is also one of my favorites. The color is great, the cut is super-flattering (you really can’t go wrong with a wrap dress) and the fabric is substantial and cozy. I didn’t get to wear it much when I first bought it because another girl in my office already had the same one. Luckily, we’ve both moved on to other gigs. So now I can wear it as much as I want without fear of an episode of “Who Wore It Best: Office Edition!”
