Thistle & Pearl

Phew what a long week! Between working late, catching up with old friends, and seeing Boyfriend's band, I have been crazy busy. I meant to throw this entry up earlier in the week since it's an older outfit but ah well. Like I alluded to in my last entry, it's so freeing to create outfits when I don't have to go into the office. This dress is so comfortable, it's like wearing pajamas. I adore the few UO dresses I have that are button-up rather than hidden side zipper. Invisible zippers are my nemesis! I'm always terrified of breaking them since they're all so precious and delicate. At least with buttons, I can easily repair a problem myself.

I bought this petticoat on a total whim. I thought it might come in handy one day, and now I can't imagine wearing this dress without it. I didn't care for the tunic bottom of the dress and the petticoat gives it a more traditional looking hem to the outfit.

I added a brown cardigan when going out in the evening, but forgot to include it in my outfit shots. It toned down the "pajama" look of the ensemble for dining out.
