Dots

2.22.10 available light forecast: overcast yet oddly bright

My friend told me I looked like Marilyn Monroe… somehow I just don’t see it :)  But I can see how this looks very vintage/1950s with the full circle skirt and polka dots!  The shoes are actually vintage from an annual pop-up thrift store and one of my best purchases ever!  I wore them so much when I was younger (high school? maybe early college) that I’ve had to have them repaired twice.  The skirt is fairly recent from Forever 21’s Twist collection.  When I saw it in the store I knew I loved the pattern but the poufy mesh puffed sleeves had to go — I’ve seen the original dress look great on people but cap sleeves never look good on me, my shoulders are far too broad!  I blame too many gymnastics and swimming lessons!

Old Navy shirt, Forever 21 skirt (it used to be a dress), Target belt, Penneys tights, Ferragamo shoes.
