Days of Patterned Dresses

 Apologies for the lack of posting yesterday, I came home from work and promptly went to sleep!  It wasn't that it was all that late, I was just plain tuckered out! 

 Yesterday, like today, I wore a patterned dress to work.  I actually had a different outfit planned for the day, but I didn't like how it turned out so I went for this dress which I haven't worn for a while.  Since I was wearing it with opaque black tights I actually wore it with heels - for the first time ever.  Because the dress is so short I have only worn it with flats before.  But I have actually really wanted to wear this shoes with tights for a while, so it was a perfect opportunity.  I really liked how the outfit came together!

Today I broke out another patterned dress, but this outfit took a lot of help from my marm.  I couldn't figure out sweater to wear over it, and then I discovered this ombre one in my marm's closet!! I love how the pattern of the dress and the colors of the sweater go together.  Once I had the dress and the cardigan combo all I needed was the belt!  The one I had in mind didn't work, but my marm broke out the big guns and loaned me this vintage beauty! I had no idea this is where the outfit was going when I started off this morning but it was great all day!
