But Not a Real Green Dress, That’s Cruel

Well folks…it’s the big debut! I raved about this dress in my February budget post, and now you can probably see why I love it. It’s totally comfortable, fits me like a glove, and has a perfectly classy but fun shape. The pictures don’t even do it justice – it’s a nice sturdy ponte-ish material so I’m optimistic that it will last me many wears. And it better, because I already have at least 2 spring outfits planned in my head. How great will this color look with leopard print, right? OH! And pockets! Who doesn’t love a dress with pockets?! Do I put anything in the pockets? Of course not. But I like knowing they’re there.

The dress also comes in cobalt blue and in gray/black colorblock. It probably wouldn’t hurt to keep my eye on the clearance rack later in the season. Just in case.

Surprisingly, Madewell did not pay me to write this post. But they probably should. I accept wire transfers, Madewell. Call me.

On Tuesday I whipped up this little ensemble for a day of interning. Obviously I didn’t wear the beanie and sunglasses in the office. In hindsight, I’m not sure why I didn’t because it was really cold in there, and my eyes were kinda dry.

By the way, these sunglasses are new – my first March purchase! Can you believe I’ve never owned aviators? What rock have I been living under? I tried some on a long time ago and they looked weird on me, and the silly sunglasses novice that I was thought all aviators were the same shape. I gave them another shot earlier this week and tried on several pairs at Nordstrom Rack. I settled on these from Just Cavalli. I’m pretty sure they make me cooler. Next step: motorcycle. You can drive a motorcycle in pumps, right?
