Flowy Mint Shirt Dress

Flowy Shirt Dress | Boutique in Shanghai

     I saw the weather was going to be windy, and normally I'd be very annoyed since my hair will cover my face like Samara from the Ring. But that day I spotted this old dress in the corner of my closet. Some days I feel like I have nothing to wear, and other days I feel like I'm shopping at a new store finding new pieces or finding exciting ways to rewear pieces.

     This is one of the outfits I completely forgot I had, but am in love with. But the past few years, I've been focused on work appropriate clothes since I work in a conservative corporate environment so this little mint gem completely slipped my mind!

   I'm so happy I found it again. It's a lot shorter than I remember, but I love the unique details of this dress. I've yet to encounter such a dress where I can tuck the flowy collar away to the side like a scarf piece! I really wish I could find more unique pieces without paying up the butt. Any ideas, guys?!

     I love the flowers when they bloom, but I love it even more when the petals start to fall to the ground! It's the prettiest type of shower. And the floor is always dusted with beautiful pastel petals. Like rose-tinted glasses for life temporarily.

     And I know this outfit is screaming fall, but with how the weather's been, I felt it was more than appropriate!

    I'm pretty self conscious, and I feel like I need to push myself to love me in every type of outfit, so I'm going to start wearing shorts and short skirts (internal scream). This is one outfit I'm ok with. I'm totally lying to myself when I say I can see my recent work outs showing, but I'm ok with that. If you're like me and don't feel quite so comfortable, the big patterned scarf helps create coverage without distracting from the whole outfit. Plus the big hat and sunglasses make me feel invisible to others despite being even more obvious!

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw these photos. It looks like I'm some crazy lady obsessed with trash cans!

I was thinking about retaking them, but then all the shivering, shuddering and near death calls would have been for nothing! So I decided to show you the photos (where it's not obvious I'm on the verge of frost bite hahah).

I always contemplate a buy for a week (or a month sometimes!) A good 50% of the time, I experience hypothetical buyer's remorse and decide against the purchase. Luckily for you, I didn't feel that way about this warm sweater, mostly because it keeps the heat in and cold out. Since it was a sweater dress, I was able to keep my bum warm too. Unfortunately, bare legs tends to make you feel ridiculously cold so I still ended up freezing.

The reason I bring up my shopping habits is because one of my prerequisites for buying anything is to imagine 3-5 outfits with the potential purchase using only items from my closet. That's exactly what I did so if you want to see how I styled this sweater dress 3 ways, check it out here!
