Dress: Kieu's (old), $40 // Tights: Target, $5 // Necklace: Forever 21, $6 // Boots: Forever 21, $28
I tend to fluctuate between two extremes when it comes to outfit selection. Sometimes I fret too much over planning ensembles each day. Other times, I throw caution to the wind and just randomly put stuff together. In an attempt to find a happy medium, this week I've tried to let outfits "come" to me. Rather than forcing creativity, I've just been casually ruminating over what to wear and letting ideas pop into my head. It has worked surprisingly well.
So, using my new psychic sartorial abilities (hehe), I summoned this old dress. I've had it for many years and haven't worn it for many years, but I'm glad it saw the light of day again!
How do you choose what to wear?

Fret.
This dress is great! You should bring it out more. :D
You always inspire me to wear more color although it's pretty hard right now in NYC. And I love how your lipstick matches your tights! What color is it, btw?
I love that dress!
That dress!!! I love it!
Sometimes I have outfit ideas in my head for days, but most of the time I just decide right when I'm getting dressed.. usually depends on my mood :)
I'm the exact same way with my outfits... sometimes I worry that I don't have much of a set "style". Oh well!
Also, are those boots comfy? I've been looking at them on the F21 website, and I was curious about the heel height... :)
That dress is wonderful and fits you perfectly! love love love it.
very cute, love pulling out old things and wearing again! makes me never want to get rid of anything just in case!
I really love this. I love all the pieces together and that dress is ridiculously flattering on you!
Wow! This is a great look, head to toe. And you look so beautiful in that first pic!

One of my favorites on you! It's so simple and bold. :D
This is, quite possibly, my favorite outfit you've ever posted. LOVE the dress, and am totally crushing on the orange tights. Love, love and more love.
xox
Yao - The lipstick is Revlon "Kiss Me Coral." I love it!
modest typewriter - By my standards, these boots are very comfortable! They don't have a lot of padding, but you could add an insole. The heel isn't high at all, about 2.5". I've done a lot of walking in them without any problems.
This outfit was a good choice, especially with those wonderful red tights! Lovely!
ps. I usually just stare at my clothes until something pops out at me.
Looks fantastic, love the dress on you, especially with the tights. But boo, I miss your dark hair!
Yay for psychic powers. Love the pop of the red with your lovely dress.
Not to sound all stalkery, but I totally saw you at Rudy's wearing that and thought "oh, that's that girl with the blog."
But then my pizza came and I didn't get to say "hey, nice dress."
I like the dress. Think it would look good with a cool scarf. And I'm a big fan of boots and tights so perfect outfit and you look cute in it.
That lipstick color looks smashing on you!
I'm so glad that the dress came out of the closet! It's lovely ;).
That's a great dress! It looks awesome with the red tights...
that dress is awesome. Simple, but it makes a statement. Love it.
Love, Love, Love this dress!
Lovely! And those tights are just divine.
