Tie the Knot

Let's be honest. It's summer and I'm a teacher, so I'm not really getting dressed most days. I wake up, shower, and put on another pair of pajamas. That's probably why when I shopped the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual sale I came home with two pairs of sweatpants and nothing sexy (a girl who is comfortable is the most sexy of all, right?). So when I do have to get dressed, say to grocery shop or interact with other humans, I find myself leaning toward my most comfortable clothing items. That's why I have to love this dress: it's a multi-tasker. When I'm feeling glamorous, it goes fancy. When I don't want to put on real clothes but have too much pride to shop in pjs, it chills out.

Don't believe me? Go back to this post. Same dress, totally different feel!

Tying a knot in maxi or midi dresses is one of my favorite tricks to create a new vibe with an old piece. A knot in anything, be it a button-down top or a skirt, adds a feeling of "I just threw this together and it works." Add a scarf and call it a day. The fact that it's almost as comfy as my new sweatpants is just an added bonus.

Total side note, the lady who does my nails (who is awesome!) threw me some shade for putting purple on my toes and blue on my fingers. There's no rule saying that looks tacky, right? I like both colors. Why not?

Like what you see? The dress is currently on sale. You're welcome. ;)
