I've definitely been feeling selfish this holiday season so I've been on the hunt for versatile dresses that I can wear to work and out on the town. My job's dress code is business casual but I'm really starting to get tired of the same cardigan + dress pant combo.

This winter I'm looking for vintage tops, and sweaters from the 70s. I've already found two that I love mix and match with skirts and under dresses and just with my jeans and boots.
Oh, I think that I like the McGinn Olivia Tweed Dress.
I just really want more dresses!
I'm looking for more quality pieces to inject into my wardrobe… I'm tired of nearly everything I own and need some real workhorses.
As for what I am looking for for someone else – My little brother really loves skinny ties right now. I want to find him a cute houndstooth one.
fashionfrugality at gmail.com
for the holidays i would love to be wearing this dress from the bell jar: McGinn Carolina Pleated Dress…im less about dressing festive and more about trying to be me – i find the holidays are the best time to show off who your are through clothes to friends and family who haven't seen us in a while!
