devotion



coat  vintage
blouse  vintage valentino
skirt  vintage
belt  j. crew
tights american apparel
shoes  vintage ferragamo

I always feel strangely sultry when I'm all buttoned up. Maybe it's the "hello, secretary" vibe of this kind of outfit. Maybe I was a sassy nun in another life. Whatever it is, you will probably never see me wearing anything overtly sexy, cleavage on display. Sometimes I forget I even have cleavage to show! I'm probably doing a disservice to my boyfriend, but at least I have plenty of short-short dresses to make up for it.

P.S. Thanks to everyone for the super sweet comments... I read every single one and I appreciate them all. What a lovely bunch you are!

I love the coat! So jealous of your vintage luck. And those tights are quite amazing. I adore that color.

Hehe, I'm the same way when it comes to cleavage. I always seem to cover the top, but the lengths of my dresses aren't as reserved haha

I love the colors you used! You look adorable!

Oooh. Plaid on narrow vertical stripes looks so good! Never would have thought of that one :P

Being all prim-and-proper-ly dressed is kind of invigorating, isn't it? Almost like you have to make up for what your clothes aren't saying with your attitude...
