Happy Tuesday! I've started including links in my outfit roundups, so you can see how I've previously worn an item.
I borrowed this dress from my sister when I went home to visit. Since we're different heights, the very short length on me seemed to exaggerate the flaired silhouette. It seemed almost like a vintage little girl dress, and it definitely reminded me of something Sally Draper from "Mad Men" would have worn. Plaid? Yes. Short little-girl length? Yep, yep.
I took these photos at a nearby park. To balance the vintage feel of the dress, I paired it with some matching but modern heels. I ended up really loving this outfit -- the short length felt pretty daring, but I loved the vintage-y look to it.
What sartorial dares have you recently made?

Lovely outfit! I also like your idea of linking back to previously worn items - I should start doing the same, would you mind?

Totally Sally. Especially with the shoes. I love it.
I also love the color and print on you. Fabulous dress!
I was definitely eying that dress at one point on ModCloth, but I love what you've done with it a lot more than anything I'd have tried!
Ooh, the shape of the flared skirt is just adorable. And I really like what you've done with the layering on the top. You are a constant reminder of how different dresses can create such different, and wonderful, looks.
I belt ,belt and then I belt again my outfits.It seems like my wardrobe has expanded.
black & blue.
checkered,
girly.
love it!
Glorious! And the layered ruffles are such fun.
very lovely. The blue/black plaid is great - that shade of blue is especially pretty on you!
My biggest sartorial dare recently was purchasing a mustard yellow sweater that I fell head over heels for. It's a color I've never worn near my face, but if I add some bright lipstick and lots of blush, it doesn't totally wash me out. mustard yellow, here I come.
the blue plaid is great on you!
That has to be my favorite outfit of yours! And I am so jealous that the weather is nice enough to wear that without tights or a cardi!! Love it, I think that royal blue is a good color for you!
That is a great dress and you look fabulous in it. That blue is definitely one of your colors!

Read my Interview with Susan @ ModCloth♥
I actually thought this dress looked like an edgier version of the dress Betty Draper was wearing in the finale when she lies down on the stripped bed....
i love the colours!
Oh what a great dress! You're looking very cute. Suits you sooo well. xx, Alice :)
I am cold looking at this summer dress!
However, you look gorgeous!
You are soo photogenic!
That dress is really flirty and cute. And I love the shoes you paired with it. Absolutely unexpected and they work like a charm.
Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
This is super cute!! I love the tank with the dress too! That park is a great location. I think I'm saving my sartorial dares for next week. :)
Love the dress but, I'm a little jealous you're still wearing sandals. It's wayyyy too cold here for that...
