Sixties Sihouettes

Happy Monday! Hopefully everyone is having a good start to their week! On Sundays when I lay my clothes out, I like to make Monday's outfit as simple as possible so I can go back to doing laundry/hanging on the couch with David/making snacks/etc. My number one remedy to this laziness is simple: a dress. No matter if it's 80 degrees or 30 degrees, I'm always down for a dress. People will think that you put a lot of time into your look, but once you think about it, it's one piece. It's not like pants where its pants, sweater, jacket, scarf, boots, etc. I like easy and carefree fashion that makes it look like you spent hours on it if that makes sense.

The dress that I chose for today is one of my very favorites in my too-large collection. I found this H&M number this past Black Friday online, which everyone knows is just as much for buying presents yourself as for the rest of your list. The print was so crazy that I had to take the plunge. It is a blessing and a curse that I love prints so much: a blessing because they are just so fun to wear (and mix!) but then I also find that I have a lack of solid colors in my wardrobe at times! I love the bell sleeves and the cut of this dress, it gives me such a Brigitte Bardot vibe which I adore. The funniest part of this outfit is I'm not even a cat person, but I do love animal print and this is literally the animal printed on the dress.

To tone down this crazy ocelot-leopard print dress, I wore black tights, neutral heels (you know how much I love my Mary Janes), and understated jewelry. It is pretty chilly here in PA today, so I added a cape and a head wrap. I just love how the burnt reddish orange color goes along with the cut and colors on the dress! Easy glam makes Mondays that much better :)
