Where are all of the scary outfits? What gives?! o_O Haha. All in good time, bro. All in good time. Right now, I want to exercise my skills at creating a rustic, vintage look. Again, I took a page out of what I learned from last year's Minimalist Style Challenge and endeavored to put together something impactful while wearing as few pieces as possible. I used only a dress, skirt and duster cardigan. ^_^
The floral zipper dress is a special favorite of mine. I've slowly changed my opinion about dresses over the past two years. Yeah, I think I like wearing them or whatever, now. Geesh. Still, I don't wear them all that often. When I go to my closet, 9/10 times I'll pick out a pair of shorts or a skirt over a dress. This one is really beautiful to look at, though. I really love the print and the burnished exposed zipper that gives it just a little bit of an edge. Click here to see a better view of the dress, including the lace hem.
The duster cardigan is another special piece. The color is perfect and I think it looked great with the rich floral patterns and tiered cream skirt. The skirt is a few years old, but basically brand new. I kept avoiding it for some reason. It's the perfect Spring/Summer skirt, but it's super girly. Haha. The paper bag waist line is cute, I admit. Hehe. Maybe I can figure out how to toughen it up a bit for next time. :P
Soooo, yeah. That's basically it. :D Lately, I noticed that I'm not wearing very much jewelry, if at all, in my photos. This is normal behavior for me, but I want to try to accessorize a little bit more. So, I wore a simple wooden bangle and this kick ass bottle cap necklace from Toronto.

Overall, I really like how this outfit turned out. It ended up being a very simple, easy-to-wear (and pretty >_< hehe) ensemble for a lazy day of brunch and coffee. I hope your week is off to a good start! <3
