It's time for another WIWW, linking up with the pleated poppy and friends. This dress has a fun story...last month I went to Nordstrom because after a year of not buying anything new, I really needed a shirt or two. While I was there, I saw this cute white lace dress and it was full price and not what I came for, so I didn't try it on. I figured I could find something comparable in vintage (or actually in my closet, I have a lot of white/cream dresses). A few days later I went to Buffalo Exchange to sell some of my clothes and while browsing the racks, I spotted the same dress! Crazy enough it still had the tags on it and was a quarter of the price. Plus, I sold some of my clothes, so it was basically free! Sometimes it pays to pass on things.

I'm doing the sock thing again this week, I promise I don't do that everyday, but its been a fun way to wear summer shoes when it's cold. I especially like how it looks layered over tights. Last week people commented that they liked it, but wouldn't try it themselves. I say go for it! Try it with a really feminine dress and a pair of tights that are close in color, then it won't seem as obvious. Wear it around the house on a day when you have time before you go out, to warm up to the idea. Let me know how it works out!
