WhatIWore: I often wade through thrift stores looking for pieces that have some feeling of nowness, but this dress is quite the opposite! I bought it retail because it looks like something I’d find at the thrift shop! 

I have a few flowy navy and white polka dot dresses and I’ve had my eyes pealed for a black and white number for a long time. When I saw this dress at ModCloth (and had a store credit to burn!) I scooped it up immediately. It’s a four season kind of dress, but when it arrived, we had a fresh dusting of snow and I was more in the mood to layer up. We’ve had a dose of springlike weather these past few days, so here I am! bare legs and booties with a chiffon dress.

I’m also sort of channeling a gal who works at my local coffee shop. She oozes cool with the blink of an eye and effortlessly so. I can’t say the same for myself. My look has an air of effort, and I’m ok with that. Mama only gets a chance to get out of the house alone a handful of times each week, so damn right I’m going to try!
