fashion chronicles: rainy days and polka dots (and making untucked work!)

just a quick post to say that i really loved this outfit.  it was comfortable and still looked pulled together.

i tried it with the shirt tucked in when i first put it on this morning and it looked way too fussy, so i untucked.

can you see the tiny white polka dots on the shirt?  i love them!

at some point this fall, i will also have to try this outfit with colored jeans, but for today, this was just exactly right.

shirt:  isaac mizrahi for target (thrifted) :: sweater: old navy (hand-me-downs from a friend) :: necklace (borrowed from a friend) ::  jeans: the limited (hand-me-downs from a friend) :: shoes : clarks (thrifted) :: umbrella (found at tuesday morning years ago)
