I think the light wash denim jacket is what took it over the edge. I don’t think I’ve ever really been happy with the color of this jacket, but I adore the cut and fit. So I wore it one last time to make sure, but I need to dye it black. I just think I’ll get a lot more use out black.
But then I have to work out what I’ll top this dress with next time! I have a blazer that might kind of work, and a sweater that will work when it’s really cold. But I’m not sure about either.
Love this dress though. It’s at least one size too big and a bit paper baggy on, but it is so comfortable and I love the print.
He happened to get in frame this time, y’all!~ He’s there, all the time, goofing off, trying to distract me. And here is the proof.
Since he got in the shot, he felt he should share some outfit details with you (even though his outfit is just a blur of AA cardigan and old Morrissey tee shirt). So here is his Swatch.
Which is actually his mother’s Swatch. I bought him a watch for Christmas the first year we were married, and it was a kinetic watch. He wore it until it died last January. Since he was and has been unemployed since then, he borrowed this from his mother. He knows it is ridiculous, I suspect that is part of its charm for him. He refers to it as “all blinged out” He just doesn’t see the point in replacing his watch until he gets a new job and can afford to get a decent one.

lmao! Funny guy! Does his watch have a picture of the inside of a church on it?
Love your dress...too cute.
That jacket really does have a great cut to it, but I agree with you that it needs to be darker. That wash is VERY 90210, especially with the dress. But your boots were a little too cool and up to date. You need to do this up with old school lace up doc martens, ala courtney love. ;)
I love that dress... that loose paper-baginess of it is really quite flattering on you!
dangit! i kinda like the lightwash denim! but then again...i loved 90210. so take it with a grain of salt! tangent: I remember they once played Policy of Truth by Depeche Mode on a episode of 90210 and that is when I decided 90210 should never ever be missed by me again. TRUFAX.
Love love loving those boots! I've been dying for a pair exactly like that since forever... too bad my giant feets would NEVER fit into shoes from gap kids! haha :)
I love your wedding photo! You look so young, which surprised me because you look so young in your photos now. It leads me to belive that you are older than you look... If thats true, what a blessing it is!!
I agree about the boots--they need a clunkier heel or something to really make your outfit 90210-ish. But fair effort. ;)
A black jacket would be ultra sleek--I can't wait to see how it turns out!
I am obsessed with Swatches & I love Nathan's mother's Swatch! I have maybe 10 or so & I still buy one every now and then (even though I haven't worn a watch in years). /random fact
OMG if those had been tights and doc martins instead o fleggings and boots, then I would have sworn that I had gone back in time. Damn, I miss the original 90210.
Tell Nathan I dig the swatch, bling and all.
Cute cut on the coat, but I bet you'll wear it more as a different color. PLus, dying stuff is soo much fun. Before going to black, you could overdye it an indigo color?
I love this outfit and I like the jacket the way it is - but then I loved the original 90210 and it's outfits, btw i've heard 90's fashion is on it's way back!!!
Love the church watch!!
Oh!, how well you channel the 90s!
I also vote 'yay' on over-dyeing the jacket. It's such a great style.
I love it when your husband gets into the photos. Know why? It's because he makes you smile so big!
The jacket is very cute- over-dying to the rescue!
One of my all time favorite looks for you!
I also love that we get to see your real smile in the last frame which is always different than a camera smile :)
it does have a great 90's feel but we wouldn't of worn tights with it, which makes this much more modern and fun.
I mean aheam I am 22 and was a mere child in the 90's not in highschool wearing babydoll dresses with combat boots.
nope not me.
the jacket should be a little darker - i totally agree with you! But its light colour is perfectly paired with this beautiful dress. it really took it over the edge. love it.
