A dress that does triple duty as a built-in scarf and hood..?  Yes, please!

I’ve been on the hunt for a nice fairisle sweater for a while, and I almost passed up this little number at Rugby the other day.  I was on my way out of the store, when I spotted it neatly folded on the clearance table.  I didn’t even realize it was a dress at first, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem.  It’s really thick and cozy, and I’ve worn it twice already in the 72-hours since I bought it (don’t judge, it’s cold outside!).

In other news, my husband had a grand ol’ time making fun of me and my abysmal vertical leap while taking these photos.  He didn’t believe me when I tried to blame it on the heels, but I think I impressed him a little bit with my tuck jump… or maybe not.

I scored this vintage DVF blouse on eBay months ago, and it arrived in the mail with a nice little bonus… HUMONGOUS 80s-style shoulder pads!  You guys know how I just love looking like a linebacker…

Yeah… not so much!

Fortunately, it wasn’t anything a seam ripper and two minutes of spare time couldn’t fix.  Once my quick alterations brought my new blouse forward a decade or two, I deemed it ready for primetime and paired it with one of my favorite earrings + necklace combos.
