Urban Earth Mama

So this red number is a night gown (Clothing Swap $0) and I have been wearing it around the house since I got it but thought it was time to find a way to publicly present it. It has absolutely no shape so I thought i'd layer it with a knit vest (T.J Maxx $12.99) and gray moccasin boots (Jeffrey Campbell) but I also think it would look really nice with a big brown belt, tights and a barn jacket (like the ones from l.l bean).

Do you like my gardening skills on floor 21? Though this pic may be staged, I actually am quite skilled. I even taught Olive ($70 Potter League) how to plant seeds in the pots ;)

The Slip Dress

She Dares to Walk out in a Silk Slip!

So, I am the queen of wearing nightgowns and slips as dresses. First off they are more flattering for every body type. They show off all the good curves. Secondly, they are way cheaper than dresses! Even at consignment shops! It's fantastic!
This slip is Victoria Secret vintage, $3 at Goodwill on Mass Ave. I absolutely love it. Syd is pairing it with a long brown sweater from TJ Maxx (thanks to mamasita).

I also think it would look beautiful with a fitted blazer, tights and black boots. This outfit above would also look gorgeous with beat-up old boots for a casual day out and about.
