This maxi dress may still be the best $6 I've spent... I could have had a vendi, mocha, choca, low-fat macchiatto (no idea what I'm talking about, I don't drink coffee) but instead I invested in this dress. Last time I wore this dress in Paris (just another day in my life...), the hem got completely torn out. So when I fixed, I rearranged the side slits and gave myself another inch of length. Not like it really needed it, this dress is actually long enough for me but I got greedy and wanted that extra length so I could wear heels with it and still have the dress almost touch the floor. As a tall kid, it's a novel feeling to trip over your hem, kinda dangerous too but that's just life on the edge.
And I'm totally digging your grandmother's sunglasses that I picked up at Value Village. Tell her I say thanks. We had a scavenger hunt/ Amazing Race competition this weekend and one of the challenges was to pick up something at Value Village to take along with us for the rest of the competition. I was hoping to pick up a tie for Matt but the sunglasses were closer and the clock was ticking (and these were awesome too) so we went for them instead. Not only did I end up with these bad boys, we also won the whole thing. Go Team #4! Say my name. Which, for the sake of my new-ish readers, is pronounced Yen-tina....

I've always loved this dress on you, and it's so great the way you styled it this go-around. Those shoes are fantastic too. And I love the bridge photos too!
Basically, this comment ended up being a mushy love letter to you, but your latest outfits have been rockin it. :)
LOVE this! I never feel I can rock long dresses, but maybe with a blazer? Will have to give it a try. You look great---the stripes + flower are lovely.
Yen, I am in love with this mostly thrifted outfit. The stripes, the flower pin, the blazer, the glasses!
Lovely! You look SO sophisticated! I love that most of your outfit is thrifted. I'm really liking the long dress with the blazer on top. It dresses up something that could be very casual otherwise. :)
I love love love that dress. Every time you wear it I love it a little bit more. Great outfit :)

I know all about the being tall and wishing you could trip over the hem of your dress. I would have done the same thing!
Oh, and by the way, I love the outfit. The dress, the blazer, the flower, the grandma sunglasses. Everything!
$6 well spent!
you look positively FANTASTIC ... the length of this dress is so elegant and parisian. the pop of tan from your heels and bag really bring out the sophistication of your dress. great location as well! i checked out kendi's blog and saw her spools and got a bit jealous as well! :) the best i can do is my apartment complex or the park across the street, haha!

What a beautiful dress!
Two words. Class. and Y. Classy. Elegant. Top shelf. Expensive. And etc. That's a lot of words but you are looking 100% rich and gorgeous in this, my blonde friend! I'm drooling!

I don't know about my grandma, but those could very well be my Great Aunt Margret's sunglasses. She had a pair just like them, and she does live in your neck o' the woods.
Do you suddenly find yourself able to make the world's best shortbread when you put them on? And have a cute Scottish accent?
Love the look and the tour of the city.
As noted above, this outfit is awesome. I'm inspired to try a maxi-dress & jacket combo for work (as soon as things warm up more in my new city.)
And your elegant pictures make me miss the Hammer. Sweet Steeltown, how I miss your often-dodgy-but-never-boring aesthetic!
Most importantly, however, I now know who to blame for my Grandma's giant new old-gal wrap-arounds. (You know, she just dropped those glasses and they were gone when we went back to check. . . )
ok those sunglasses!
What is it about stripes? I just did a post on my very serious life long addiction. They’re just irresistible.
Terrific outfit! The blazer and shades with the lovely brown accessories give the dress a really chic look, which is a nice new take on the maxi instead of the predicatable 'boho' styling. Very inspiring!
You look amazing! I love the dress and totally agree with you about the length addiction. But I'm really short so I end up having to take off inches just to get to that dangerous tripping you length! The stripes, the bridge, the blazer and flower: PERFECTION!

Gorgeous look! I can't believe your bought that dress for only $6!
I absolutely love this outfit! You look amazing and very sophisticated!
That is one wonderfully crazy pair of glasses!! and I love this dress every time :)
i was JUST saying to christopher this week that having a blog makes me love my tiny town so much more, because i'm always on the lookout for great photo locations and little pretty corners.
that maxi dress=gorgeousness on you.
I love this and I am going to try my best to copy it...I will link you in that post if I do...which I will:)
Yes yes, love those glasses!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.
and stop making me gasp every time you post a new amazing outfit. The cats are starting to look at me sideways.. I'm IN FREAKING LOVE with this outfit. I've been on a mad hunt for a maxi dress that I can wear with heels.. Why the hell can't a midget like me find one, when a glamazon like you did?! Fate you can suck a big fat one.
ps.. the word verification I had to type in? naiked. you're such a perv.
I absolutely LOVE this outfit! Very Cute. I am loving the jacket paired with a long dress...
This is a wonderful outfit. Love the stripes and the really fantastic heels! I really like that the dress is a fun, more inventive iteration of the nautical trend.
I also like that you made up random coffee names. As a non-coffee drinker myself, I'm always smashing together coffee sounding things and cracking myself up. Love it! I mean, really, who'd choose an Americano latte frappuchino schmapachino thing over a dress, anyway?! :)
Looks good.
P.s. You matched your bag to your shoes...my mom would be proud.
Love love this dress! I'm tall too and can totally relate to letting the nel out of everything!
Damn. My grandmother wants her sunglasses back. They were supposed to be heirlooms for me. :)
Seriously, this is a beyond awesome outfit.
Love your shoes!
Speaking of your city, Lida Baday is from here. Nice choice.
i love this dress on you. especially styled with the blazer. cool. sophisticated. sexy. all at the same time.
Those shoes are great. They are like a more evolved, sophisticated clog.
I'm new to your blog. I like your style! Nice find with the sades--and congrats on winning your amazing race :)

UH, this looks awesome! I can't wait to totally rip it off with my striped maxi :)
You can work a striped maxi! They're not so fab on petite girls like myself, but it's awesome on you. And those SHOES...
Well oh my gosh, don't you just look perfect.
I thought your name was pronounced Pat-ric-ia. Crap. I feel like our e-relationship has just been a lie up until now.
Oh you look stunning! Such great proportion with that dress and the blazer. You are one of my favorite style bloggers. I never would have put brown with this outfit, but you make it look great!
You find such great deals! I really love the dress- and your sunglasses! My grandma never sported ones like those! Haha!
I love you hair! Perhaps you could share with us how you did it?
