’90s silk dress: thrift store
Socks: Target
’80s lace-up boots: Etsy
Necklace: Corvus Noir
Bag: from the Score! swap in NYC (I didn’t go, but my friend designed the bag for it and gave me one)

Just a little Saturday outfit . . . This is what I wore over the weekend when we did normal weekend things.  Like usual these days it was really really hot outside, so it helped to wear a light little silk dress.  The socks were kind of . .  unnecessary, but I think I was so inspired by the styling in that Ingrid Starnes collection that I had to wear socks with my new (old) ankle boots.  I’m obsessed with them.  They have a little heel that’s still easy to walk in but gives just enough height for strange people like me who feel under-dressed in flat shoes.

    I love the little socks with your boots, they look really pretty :) I wish I could wear heels all the time, I’m such a noob I often wear flats when I go out at night :( shame…

  2. Leilani says:

    You’ve been rocking the 90s dresses lately! I like your boots too, they seem to be a fancier version of the typical 80s ankle boot. It’s been so hot here in Chicago too, the humidity has been draining. :(

  3. leah says:

    Wow you’re dedicated to your styling to wear socks with boots in summer! Although they are supercute. I hope it was worth looking so good!

  4. Ena says:

    It looks like the dress was made just for you! I like how you wear socks with the ankle boots. They might be unnecessary, but surely add a quirky feel to your style :)

    Good outfit! I’m still looking for the perfect “witch booties”, as I like to call them. In my imagination witches always wear these kind of lace-up boots …

    That dress is really cute! and I love your shoes.

  18. bea says:

    Oh, so the debut of the new boots. :) I like the color a lot (especially with the gold detail) and the shape is very ugly/pretty (I mean that as a compliment!) in the way you always say you like.

    I especially love how you just bring a little tote around-much more practical than a bulky leather bag!

  59. Venture Capitalist firms are interested only in investing, earning interest and recovering their monies back. If you go to small shops the risk you mention can exist, standard companies will not be interested in stealing ideas, they will want the details of the idea only to evaluate the project. To safeguard this from happening patent or copywrite your product if it is something unique. This will save you from the thefts you fear.
