couple of dresses

I'm playing around, mixing and matching, anything and everything that I can with this paisley dress. I don't want to just wear it as what it is - a simple dress. I first threw on this shirt dress, leaving it open and drawing the strings so it played more of a light jacket role in this particular combo. 
I wasn't sure about the shoes until these boots crossed my mind. I hesitated at first, thinking they were too tough for the silky mini dress,  but I had to at least try. Surprisingly enough I like the result. 

With these boots being so practical and me wearing the heck out of them, I've decided to start the hunt for a second pair. It's about time! And I know exactly where my first stop will be...my fav vintage market in the city - Cambridge Antique Market

thanks for visiting.
