Shirt-dress + matching belt - Thrifted from Value Village
Black dress - Sears sale, 2008
Tights - We Love Colours
Shoes - Payless
This is the same black dress I wore over my snake-print shirt-dress back in January. It really is endlessly useful for layering. You can also see the shirt-dress and obi belt on their own in this post from last year. I don't wear the obi belt very often, but it turned out to be perfect for this outfit. When I saw the first dress sticking out past the second, I contemplated pinning the hem up out of view, but I actually really like the extra pop of colour (like I need more) it gives things.
My silly cold is still dragging itself out. It's nothing serious, just a mildly annoying constant sniffle and really intense occasional sneezing, although now I'm worried it might be migrating to my lungs as usually happens when I'm ill. I can't just be severely sick for 48 hours, nah, I'm usually mildly and exhaustively ill for about two weeks! Hopefully that doesn't happen this time.
I think the most fun part of wearing this outfit (after wearing this outfit) is that I am wearing it in a library. A girl with electric blue legs and platform stilettos is usually the last thing someone expects in a library. And I dig that. Because this life needs more whimsy. A world of grey is a dull world indeed! I hope you all have a super awesome weekend. Cheers!

I love this!!! Those shoes are amazing and what a great idea to layer dresses. I'm going to have to go through my closet and figure out how to do it :)
I am actually in love with this outfit!! The tights are so fun and the dresses layered over each other is such a great idea, and I'm glad you didn't pin the hem out the way because I think that adds something extra to the outfit!! Definitely one of my favourites of yours, you look amazing!! I love to do that too, surprise people in places like the library by not wearing what everyone else is wearing, jeans or sweatpants =D

haha, i take the minis to the library after work and get stared at for wearing my six inch dany platforms! actually, one of the "younger" librarians complimented me on them. i love the layering of your dresses...these two work well together.
i have this lingering cough, too. sucks.
[oomph.]
this is beautiful!! I thought it was one dress, they work great together!
The way you layered this outfit is super creative. Nice!
