Spot Me in the Crowd

Sorry....this has to be a quicky. I'm not supposed to be blogging - I have a take-home test/essay to do!!! So this is what I wore on Sunday for General Conference. We were able to get tickets to the afternoon session!! Don't you love nice people?? I sure do!
modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Wearing secondhand F21 dress ($1), Ann Taylor Outlet dress ($20), Gap scarf ($7), Ros Hommerson oxfords ($25).

By the way, I got this dress-as-jacket idea from The Uniform Project. Check it out. This girl is beyond amazing.

THANK YOU to Lilian and Sophie for the blog awards!!!!!

Elaine, how do you not love your hair, I think it looks so great on you :) Wearing those shirt dresses as jackets is one of my favourite things to do, it's also a surefire way to lower the chances of having the same 'coat' as someone else.
Conference was the best...I wish it was more than twice a year.
Hope the take home went well :)

it is easy to spot you in the crowd, because your outfit is the best one ;) i love the layering of the 2 dresses! and thanks for the reminder about the uniform project- i haven't checked it in awhile and i agree, the girl is amazing with all the things she comes up with. ~joelle

Very chic dress!

That dress as a coat thing is such a fun idea! I think I like this dress as a coat better than as a dress!

Great outfit as always.

Both her dress and her coat are beyond amazing; I agree. As for her Gucci bag I think it goes well with her outfit (that's just to remind you our discussion about logos :)
