dress me up

dress: f21 | blazer f21 | boots: no idea | socks: urban outfitters


I bought this dress a while ago and adore it. It cost me a whole $7.99 (um what?!). Unfortunately, I've had no excuse to wear it so it's been sitting in my closet. I decided to rip those tags off of it today and take it for a spin... in outfit post form. I also just have to say that I've been incredibly frustrated with taking outfit pics lately. Now that the cold weather is here, I have just been so confused. I see all of these gorgeous "street fashion" professional shots on other blogs and get angry that I can't compare. There is no way you'll catch me outside without layers upon layers of mismatched clothing in this cold weather. Besides that, my house offers no real sun-filled rooms for that perfect natural lighting. Sigh. Until I figure this out I'll continue to want more from my photo attempts. I hope you enjoy these ones anyways!
