this is a silhouette that every magazine advises me against, but it used to be a standby when i refused to tuck in my shirts.  now that i understand defined waists and such, i wanted to revisit ole slouchy with two long layers on top.  i'm on the fence about how it looks photographed, but it felt very "me" in real life.  maybe it's all the light neutrals.  

dotty, neon, and gray

[wearing]
dress: old navy (exactly)
scarf: forever21 (similar)
tights: target
rain boots: loeffler randall (exactly)


creative: these two greenish hues are right on the edge of clashing.  
young: neon.  yup.
professional: a shirtdress and tall boots sounds like it would fairly grownup.  ignore the brightness for a sec, ok?
