A super simple outfit for a day where I didn't want to get dressed. Sometimes you just need to throw on a sweater dress, belt and tall boots to feel good when you have a cold, right? Not sure why I don't wear this dress more often...it's so comfy!

Dress: Twitch Vintage, Boots: Audrey Brooke 'Mirie' (DSW)

And we're back to throwback outfits after a couple weeks off! Here's another full recreation with the exact same items! This is such a comfortable outfit, especially considering I'm wearing a dress. But it's not just any dress, it's a sweater dress! The best kind of dress.

*The boots featured in this post were a gift from Duo Boots. All opinions are my own.*

Earlier this month, Duo Boots emailed to ask if I wanted to participate in their #MyDuo Style Guide campaign.  I was sent a pair of boots to style up in two different ways. I chose the "Ani" Chelsea boot because I was in desperate need of navy shoes, and the style is really cool. I first wore them out to dinner with my friend Kat (outfit #2) and again the following day for some shopping (outfit #1) where I spent way too much money! I actually changed into a new jacket after I bought it, so you're seeing the results of my shopping!

Outfit #1: Blazer: Paul Smith (Roundabout Resale), Sweater: Kenar c/o Marshalls, Jeans: Current/Elliott (The Outnet), Necklace: Mom's, Boots c/o Duo 'Ani'
Outfit #2: Dress: vintage (Twitch Vintage), Blazer: Elie Tahari (Coco's on the Green), Boots c/o Duo 'Ani'

Yes, more burgundy. I'm sorry, its my second favorite color, what can I say.  I always find myself drawn to burgundy pieces in stores have have to resist buying more. Sometimes I give in. Luckily for me, my mom was getting rid of this sweater so it cost me nothing to add it to my closet! This dress is a piece I've had for a few years (almost 4) and it makes at least two appearances a year on the blog, but I wear it more often than that. It's something I throw on when I want to be super comfortable but still look put together.

You can thank my brother for the title. I couldn't think of something and he suggested what you see. Ha ha.

As you're reading this I am either on my way, or already in Jamaica, Vermont camping with my best friends! This is our third annual trip, but I've been going there since I was 7 or 8 years old.  Most people are shocked when I say I love camping, but it's wonderful to sleep out in a tent and have a nice roaring fire each night and morning.  We don't do full on camping as there are tents (and lean-to's - little cabins with one side missing) and there are real bathrooms.

I'm hoping our weekend is full of relaxing, hiking and swimming in the local river.  We'll also make a stop at my favorite store, The Vermont Country Store, it was always one of my favorite parts of our trips when I was younger.  Have a great weekend and keep an eye out on my instagram, I might post some pictures (going to try to keep off my phone though.)

Notice there are only 3 photos. Sadly I was home sick on Wednesday and yesterday I was feeling a little better so I dragged myself to work and just threw anything on.

I hope everyone had a wonderful week, I'm enjoying the fact that it is sunny when I'm going to work at 6:30 am and coming home at 6:30pm. Love Spring!  The only bad thing is the frequent rain storms that we see during Springtime, but they bring the flowers so it's okay by me.  This is going to be another busy weekend and I promise I'll tell you why next week, I just like the suspense, ha ha.  Even though it's not very exciting.

Looks like I was in a dress/skirts mood this week...with the exception of Thursday.  I really wish I wore them more often but it's just so awkward wearing them on the train.  I should just suck it up more, we'll see how that goes.

After following her for MONTHS and always drooling over the items in her store, and last week I finally won an auction from Twitch Vintage!! I got this great sweater dress for $17 (that's counting shipping).  It is vintage (duh) and from the 70s! I really love the geometric print and the mix of blue and black.  Reminds me of my McQ dress, haha... Here's a quick outfit I came up with for it, you'll probably see it again (or some form of it) next week in my outfit recaps ;)


I am off to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again at 10:30 am with my sister and brother since they haven't seen it yet.  I can't believe it's been 5 days since I first saw it, this week went by sooo fast! And don't worry, no spoilers will be posted here, unless someone writes them in the comments ;)
