Ode to Sal

I love Sally McGraw's Already Pretty website. She's gorgeous, has amazing clothes, and a really healthy approach towards fashion and body confidence. And today, she had a post dedicated to her versatile use of tank dresses, and I wanted to wear this new swap tunic today. I took her advice and I think I made it somewhat more modest with this dress, but it's still quite short (good thing today is not a teaching day).
Yeah, these are my books. I think I have them in my office to impress my students. (It works. Sometimes).


I didn't realize until I looked at the pictures how short this was, but luckily my coat is long. I guess the blog is good for helping me see how my outfits look when not viewed through the mirror. I like the outfit, but I think the belt made a short tunic even shorter. I will go with leggings instead of tights next time.

I tried belting on top of the jacket, and I'm iffy about which one looks better. Over the jacket seems longer.

Belt: thrifted, Beacon's closet, $9

tights, Target, $5
green dress (under layer), Zara, Beacon's closet, $14
oatmeal tunic sweater, swapped, originally from Jacob (cheap Canadian retailer)
