The dress looks like a very good thrift shop find, doesn’t it? I’d pair it with vivid orange tights and neutral spectator pumps. The bag keeps that awesome thrifted feel going, and I also love the idea of adding vintage ring (or heirloom piece). The gold necklace is delicate but would look beautiful peeking out from the neckline, and that leather pouch makes me smile.

    I need a new pencil case. Working feels so much better when you have a new pencil case.

    i just got a bag very similar to that one on ASOS for about half the price:
    http://us.asos.com/ASOS-ASOS-Leather-Twist-Lock-Vintage-Style-Satchel/sp19p/?iid=1039287&SearchQuery=twist%20lock%20satchel&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Tan&mporgp=L0Fzb3MvQXNvcy1MZWF0aGVyLVR3aXN0LUxvY2stVmludGFnZS1TdHlsZS1TYXRjaGVsL1Byb2Qv

    it’s out of stock now but maybe it will come back? anyway i’ve gotten loads of compliments on it!

    Not sure why, but I’m not getting all your posts in my reader since I signed for the MIL only feed. Saw this on fb but it has yet to show in google. Same thing with the last post at least, can’t remember the one before.

    [...] I missed out on this dress the first time around, but I grabbed one this time and it’s perfect. I’ll be wearing mine with a thick braided leather (or faux-leather) belt instead of the fabric tie that comes with it. And as for the rest of the styling, the dress is a pretty good sub for the one I included in February’s style post. [...]
