Jewel Tones…

Sweater: Target, Dress (worn as skirt): Dorothy Perkins, Tights: Hue, Boots: Gap, Bracelets: Forever 21

So this is me at work.  Trying to merge my sense of style with comfort can sometimes be difficult.  I am on my feet ALL day as I am a teacher, and although I love heels, wedges are more practical.  Besides, I am 5’9″ and I already tower over my students, so these 4-inch wedges had me over 6′ tall (yes!).  Because the previous day seemed to welcome the first days of spring, I chose to wear this teal colored dress with mini pleats (worn as a skirt) underneath this magenta-purplish sweater I got from Target a couple of years ago.  This dress is from Dorothy Perkins and I bought it some time ago during Fall 2011.  It is really thin, and a remnant from their summer 2011 collection, but it worked fine with extra thick tights and boots.  Plus at about $25 dollars, I had to get it.  When spring really hits, trust you will see this dress again.  Dressed up and down….
