Sweater-dress and Inspiring Bloggers Link up

I picked up this cute sweater dress (tunic maybe?) from our local consignment store last week.

Not that I needed another tunic/sweaterdress per se but it was so comfy and unique - and I just loved the little dog print on the bottom.

I'm always excited to find a piece that's got a classic shape but some really interesting details. The zippers at the shoulder, the print shirt hem and the 3/4 length sleeves all make this go from basic and boring to chic and cool.

I put on my purple ponte leggings and originally had this on with black boots - but I changed it up to flats instead, and I'm glad I did since I wore this to a family Christmas party in the afternoon - and flats are easier to take on and off than the boots would have been.

I wore some funky earrings, a great necklace that was passed down to me from The Hubs' grandmother and pinned my (copious amounts of) hair over to one shoulder.

Sweater dress - Thrifted
Leggings - Ricki's
Necklace - Passed down
Earrings - Handmade by Me
