Already Pretty outfit featuring black cardigan, Peter Pan collar necklaceIt took me a long time to get dressed today.

Already Pretty outfit featuring vintage red dress My boobs and belly appear to jut out awkwardly from this vast ironing board of red cloth. Not a good look. Worlds better with a belt.

Already Pretty outfit featuring duster cardigan, Kork-Ease Alva boots In addition to featuring a very loud and bright print, it's absolutely skin tight AND fairly low cut, so I struggled to find ways to wear it.

Already Pretty outfit featuring striped boyfriend cardigan This cardigan does a great job of making a decidedly summery dress feel autumnal, as do the boot socks. Due to an abundance of soft, flowy layers and flat, cushy boots, I felt just as comfy in this outfit as I would've in my PJs. * I tried several dye remover products, but nothing worked....

Already Pretty outfit featuring purple cardigan, Desigual tunic some fun stuff, but I'm claiming the thrift triumph of the day: Red polka-dotted silk blouse by Equipment.

Already Pretty outfit featuring long cardigan, Athleta dress For such a pared-down-looking outfit, I've got a lot of stuff on.

The cardigan is sleek, but made...

Already Pretty outfit featuring lavender boyfriend cardiganI used to rage against pastels, people. RAGE!

Like several other significant shifts in my personal...

Already Pretty outfit featuring boyfriend cardigan, polka dot tunicstretch, and a rich red color. This pair is a size L and it's a bit big in the waist, so I'd say these jeans run a wee bit small or true to size. (I typically take a 10 or 12 in pants.) And I shall wash them very, very carefully. This silk skirt is just the right length for a short tunic,...
