The Chicest Chain Gang

Although I tend to wear outfits made of items that "go" rather than match, I actually have a soft spot in my heart for head-to-toe matching.  I just think it's kind of cool.  I do NOT think front pleats are cool, but this outfit may have changed my mind:

Are the front pleats attractive?  Hell no, they aren't, but I promise you, I would wear this outfit every day if I thought you all wouldn't notice.

Because, to me, it's just that great:

I mean, I know it doesn't seem like my usual style; not only does it match and have front pleats, it has no color.  But, what it lacks in color, it makes up in fringe:

And you all know I'm a sucker for some fringe.

And this necklace?  It has fringe in spades.  I don't often run out and buy things featured on other blogs, because they don't come in tall, but when I saw this necklace on Oomph, I knew I had to have it.  It's plenty long for a tall girl and helps alleviate the pain I feel about not being able to find a similar vintage piece (like Jen's).

You know what is vintage though?  This outfit.  And I got both pieces from Goodwill for $7.99.  Also, interestingly enough, it's a petite, which I love because I think the pants are the perfect length to show of my navy sandals:

That's right, folks, I only paid eight bucks for this awesome, slightly-institutional-looking outfit. Trust me, you usually have to pay much, much more to look as though you may have escaped from the chicest damn chain gang ever.

Happy Friday, All!
