my outfit: rockin' a smock!

Is it a smock or a frock? Because it's not so much a dress... I don't think I could wear it on it's own. Check out that slit up the back.

I fell in love with this dress online, and we know that doesn't always end well. I just can't ever get inspired with this "dress" - although I did like wearing this outfit. I just need more ways to style it. This doesn't happen often, but I'm stumped.

What do you all think? Upon scanning the photos again... maybe a long sleeved striped top, very french chic, would work.



I was thankful for a day where the temps almost made it to 50 degrees recently and decided to for go a big clunky coat and just wear a little jean jacket. This one is almost vintage... circa 1999. I worked at the Gap at the time and remember buying this one for full price I loved it so much (and I was in college, so full price was a big deal!).


So like 11 (eleven!?!?!?) years later it still fits like a glove and I love that it is all worn in and cozy.


And if you don't have a denim jacket, you should consider picking one up... I think they are coming back. And isn't it about time? It's been 11 + years!

Details:
Jean Jacket, Gap (similar)
Dress/Frock/Smock, Gap (similar but even more amazing!)
Turtleneck, Gap (similar)
Leggings, Gap (similar)
Boots, Nine West (similar)

(that's a lot of Gap, speaking of which... my Gap stuff seems to hang around the longest in my closet... do you have a brand that does that for you?)
