Modern/vintage

Happy Monday! I wore this to work a few days (weeks) ago but it was too busy for a photo break so I waited until I got home. Not that that's a bad thing, because I was able to have an impromptu solo dance party while I was at it. Which brought to mind SATC's 'secret single behaviour' episode.

The last time I wore this vintage dress I embraced its tomato red colour with an equally bright, sheer silk cardigan and a white-and-gold belt (here). This time I juxtaposed a modern men's-style blazer and grey studded booties. This dress is on the edge of my comfort zone. I felt more conspicuous in this than in almost anything else I've worn on the blog. But, I love that the sweatpant material. Wearing it to work feels secretly rebellious.
