Disheveled Dots

I haven�t slept well the past couple of nights and that has, apparently, culminated in my not noticing how amazingly wrinkled this dress was before I got in front of the camera.  Basically, I�m going to have to ask that you overlook the dishevelment of this outfit in favor of the dots:

So, please to repeat after me: �Dots!  So cute.  And that rounded collar.  So retro.  Wrinkles?  What wrinkles?  All I see are those clever lines of gradient dots.  And what is that color?  Lavender putty?  Who knew putty was so pretty.�

Thank you for your participation.

The dress is vintage JC Penney (hence the retro collar) that I thrifted it a couple of weekends ago and hemmed to above the knee.  I paired it with ribbed, cranberry tights (Hue), a thin belt (Gap) and my riding boots (Born Crown �Sosie� via Nordstrom).  I think the addition of the boots plays to the 70s feel of the dress but that shortening the dress keeps it from being too costume-y. 

I really do love this dress, so it sort of makes me sad that I didn�t do right by it for its first time on the blog.  But, I�m still linking it up, in all it�s wrinkled glory, to Thursday�s are for Thrifters.  Because I have no shame.

Happy Thursday, Everyone!
