red alert

I have been trying to keep from shopping too much, so I allowed myself to spend a little at a recent trip to Fashion Cents and picked up this number. I don’t usually go for tan items, mostly because I forget how well it matches everything else. So I was pleasantly surprised when I started playing around with it and some of my accessories. This particular outfit I just kind of threw together so I could wear my red tights. Alas, right after I took these my puppy jumped up on me and ripped a giant hole in the leg. C’est la vie. That’s why I absolutely cannot justify spending any more than $10 on a pair of tights.

I love this little camera! If you look into the viewfinder, this is what you see, and every time you click the shutter, a new animal comes up. I’m kind of surprised that these came out this well.

I’m especially stoked about this dress because it completes my girl scout uniform Halloween costume! I blatantly stole the idea from Calivintage‘s costume this year, and as you can see her execution was totally perfect, per usual for Erin. I’m obviously channeling this costume already with my shoe choice!
