The dress is Stem brand, which, from what I gather from the interwebs, is organic cotton and made in Canada. Which is awesome, because I didn't know that when I bought it for $10 at Crossroads over a year ago. Purchasing used ethically-made clothing is like a double-score. I don't pay the high prices and no one is treated unfairly while making my clothes!

The necklace was found in a bag on the sidewalk. The brown leggings I've had forever and don't remember where I got them or how much they cost.
The lace peaking out from the top of the dress is my all-time favorite undergarment a cami-bra!
"Is that a lacy tank top or part of the dress?" people ask.
"Nope it's my bra!" I proudly proclaim. A lot of times people don't even ask, so I have to just tell them.
This en-genius undergarment minimizes distracting cleavage and eliminates bunching undershirts and extra layers. I have one in cream and black.

Lovely! Where did you find cami-bras? I love this concept!
Love this color- and with a little lace, it totally brightens up whatever "drab" there may be :)
Thanks guys - yeah, I think this ones a keeper even though Luke thinks it's drab. You can get the cami bra at Soma - I posted the link in the blog. Just click on Cami-bra.

The thing I'm enjoying most is hearing about your courage to actually look into bags you see on the sidewalk and street. It's cracking me up! I really hope to be with you one of these days when you come across something.
Love your styling with the dress, too!
I didn't say I didn't LIKE the dress! "Drab" is not a quality judgment, it just is. That dress is made of fabric, it's not a pair of pants and it's drab - these are all facts. Sheesh, butt-hurt much? Also I thought you were very pretty in it.

I am not butt-hurt. I just think it's funny how you look at life and colors.
