Just One Of Those Things

 First of all, this dress is amazing - soft, slightly stretchy fabric with a nice weight and drape, machine washable, vibrant colors, and a great length.

Dress Barn is my achilles heel: on the website, the dresses don't look like anything much, but venture in and try them on, and they have a lot of wow factor - sort of the opposite of some higher-end stores where the photographs in the catalog are amazing, but the clothes themselves are kind of odd.

 Anyway, I threw on this dress for church this morning with bare legs and black flats, but for a symphony concert this afternoon, and I was afraid my legs would be cold.  And I couldn't find any tights.  So I put on these socks instead.  Then I added a purple necklace to balance out.
