Inauguration Day

This is what I had planned to wear on Monday, but I hadn't packed any tights to go with it and therefore had to wait for a warm day. Ultimately though, I think this outfit ended up being quite appropriate for the celebratory mood of the day. I like to tell people that I found this dress in a dumpster, but that's not quite true. I found it in a free box in Olympia. While I was out doing my patriotic duty as an American who still has a job (shopping), a middle aged gentleman on the street told me, in a not at all smarmy way, that he really like my dress. This dress really does seem to make people happy. The turtle neck is from the Gap. I really love the 3/4 length sleeves they have on their turtle necks there.
