Feeling Playful.

Confession: I have nothing to do today and nowhere to wear this outfit. I just felt like playing dress up. I might go out later tonight, and hopefully it won't be too terribly cold and I can wear this!

This dress is one of my recent UO purchases. I really fell in love with it today after playing with the styling. I like the zipper - I think it makes the super-sweet girlishness of the dress a little tougher. It has lovely ruffles along the straps and the zipper (which kind of get lost in the print in those photos) so I can't wait to wear it without a cardigan when the weather warms up and show them off. I wanted to try some print-mixing with this dress so I added the polka dot tights.

Well, I'm going to go attempt to be productive. I've been so lazy the past couple days.

P.S. Check back soon for an interview with one of my favorite bloggers!

What a great outfit. The blues are so bright. And you're right, the zipper does add something special to your very pretty dress. It'll be so perfect for summer.

This dress is so cute. Such a shame you're not wearing some h&m things because you should totally apply for the h&m x lookbook contest :)
