Stepford

[Button Down - Gap; Dress - Anthropologie; Pumps - TJMaxx]

This dress is my favorite dress in the world.  It was a dress that took me out of a rather dark time in my life.  Of course, I got it when I was maybe a little heavier, so seeing as it's a strapless and I have yet to get it tailored, I wear it as a skirt.  This outfit makes me feel like Grace Kelly in Stepford.  And that's ok!

Do you have an item of clothing that you purchased to make yourself feel better?

I hate that it's getting colder and now I need to be wearing a coat.  While I think they can make an outfit, sometimes they keep you limited.  But I do love plaid shirts - flannel or not.  They're just too cute.  I also like adding tights to give outfits a different look.  

Speaking of different look - I've started realizing that necklaces are becoming more and more prevalent in my wardrobe.  The story behind this beauty goes a little like this...

My co-worker & I went to Target one day to pick up a dress for her to wear to her best friend's rehearsal dinner.  We kept trying to think of the necklaces she had that would look good with the dress.  This type of necklace kept popping in my head and then we couldn't stop thinking about it.  The next time I saw one, I had to buy it so she could borrow it for the rehearsal.  Friendship sometimes is manifested through fashion, people ;)

Now I keep getting called the 2 Broke Girls Girl at work though...

As I type this post, boyfriend is making me watch a scary movie.  It's something with an elevator and M. Night Shamaylan.  I'm just trying to find things to distract me (I'm glad I got to keep the light on though) because I'm the biggest baby on earth.  I blame The Ring.  It was horrible and scared me half to death.  I also have never watched all of The Sixth Sense because I know what happens and I just can't handle it.  Ahhhhhh... SCARY!
