dash of tucker

[wearing]

dress: tucker for target

boots: vintage (similar)

headscarf: thrifted (similar)

necklace: forever21

i found this tucker for target dress all by itself on a clearance rack in nevada and fell for its fancy sneaky ruffles, odd sleeve length, and navyness.  i'm sure it will be belted in the future, but for today not so much. 

the dashdot turns one (and there's a giveaway!)

oh, hi!  it's going to be a big week here at dashdotdotty for a whole bunch of reasons:

• my little bloggy is turning one this week!  
• i am declaring it scarf week!  (not to be confused with shark week-- this one has less teeth and more patterns.) over the past few years i have been picking up scarves along my thrifting travels and i don't wear them nearly enough.  
• in honor of the occasion, i'm going to have a little giveaway this week of some of my favorite things.

the first annual dash dot dotty blogaversary giveaway

(yay!)

a bottle of "don't mess with opi" nail polish (better image of the color here)

a pale green and shiny silver necklace (similar to the one i wore here)

i've been thrifting some pretty punchy hues lately.  i'm a lazy browser and don't look through racks very thoroughly, but i'll apparently slow down for magenta polyester.

desert dotty

last week i flew off to nevada to spend time with my sister's adorable family, eat icecream, and jump on hotel beds. because the trip sounded so awesome, the boy decided to come along, except his goals were to spend time with a stack of adorable poker chips, eat peanutbutter icecream, and jump on hotel beds.  

oh, and it was cold.  like not pool weather.  and it rained.

[previously on] gray boots

these boots have actually already been featured before, but weardrobe clocks them at being remixed and documented 28 times, so they deserve some more attention.
