Pretty Pucci

Today I wore the first two things I bought at the Crimson and Clover Consignment store. I didn't realize it until I got to work that my outfit was entirely thrifted (other than the tights). Well, the sweater was from Joe Fresh but I think I got it for $5.00 or something crazy like that.

Sweater: Joe Fresh
Dress: No Tag from Crimson and Clover
Shoes: Emilio Pucci from Crimson and Clover

I didn't notice until the first time I wore this that there was a longer piece on the front which makes me like it even more.

My favourite part is the built in obi belt detailing. It makes the design more interesting than a plain blue dress.

Unfortunately, I don't really fill out the chest in this very well. The curse of the small of chest.

This sweater is too big, even after I washed it and put it in the dryer, which I would normally never do to a wool sweater. (I can feel my knitting friends cringing.)

These shoes don't really match but I don't care because they're awesome! Pucci shoes for $80.00 is a bit of a steal.

The print on the fabric part of the shoes is pretty subtle on the outside but is still distinguishable as "Pucci-esque". It's repeated inside the shoe but it's not like that's ever on display to the public. It's like my own little secret!

And today is the start of a 4-day weekend for me. Being a bureaucrat I get Monday off so I'm kicking up my heels in excitement. WHOOT!


Easter marks the ending of a long winter without statutory holidays. Hopefully it will warm up soon!
