In The Fashionista's Closet: Mod Squad

Today has to be one of the most wonderful days that I've had in a long LONG time. I won't say too much yet but I am so grateful for all the things that are happening in my favor. I had an impromptu interview today and I KNOW that it was because of THIS outfit:

(I'd like to imagine) that the principal took one look at me and thought, "This is a woman who works well with kids."

(I realized after taking the pics that I had my jacket buttoned up wrong.......) No do-over!

Or maybe she thought, "Well at least the kids can learn their colors while she's around."

I am definitely a color person, I love bright colors all year round. I like to mix at least two contrasting colors with each outfit and keep everything else neutral.

Now if I can get this pattern mixing thing together....

Dress: Thrifted

I got this dress in the heat of summer, I look for things of all seasons when I thrift, most people only focus on the season at hand. I could not figure out if it should be zipped in the front or the back. There is no tag, I believe it's handmade. I finally zipped it up the front since it has darts there also.

Tights: Walmart; Shoes: Nine West
