I love tops and dresses that button up the back. Like this blouse today:

| I don't know why this pose is so awkward, but it makes me giggle. |
I even left the top button halfway unbuttoned to prove they were real buttons and not trompe l’oeil buttons. Well, I'm pretending that's what happened. I actually had no idea it was half undone until we took the pictures, just like I didn’t realize the seam on my skirt was crooked. Seriously, it’s a wonder I can even dress myself at all.
But, dress myself I did. And this is what I wore:
My oft-worn skirt is thrifted vintage and so is the blouse. I added blue and white earrings (gifted), a blue and white bracelet (local craftsman) and burgundy shoes. The shoes are Naya “Jada” (via Nordstrom) and are ridiculously comfortable. I bought them during the Nordstrom anniversary sale this summer and have been waiting to wear them. I worried a bit that they were too old-fashioned, but I really like them, even with this vintage-heavy outfit. I also worried about breaking them in, but although they rubbed a little on the back of my left heel (which I remedied with the miracle that is Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin) they are otherwise perfect.
Also, the top looks like polka dots, but it's a micro-floral:
One more also; I wanted to let you all know that I got the job I interviewed for last week. I start in two weeks and even though I’m devastated to be leaving my friends in my current unit, I’m very excited about the new opportunity.
Happy Tuesday, Everyone!
Gracey
