WIWW: 4th of July Housewife

I hadn't planned on linking up to The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday today, but then I put together an outfit I haven't ever worn before (for once) so it seemed like good timing.

I love this shirt, but it's a bit too denim-looking to wear with jeans (for my taste), so I usually only wear it with my high-waisted black skirt. Today I threw it on over this strapless gingham dress and so here I am with some red, white, and blue action in August. I resisted the urge to add some bright red lipstick into the mix, because I do feel like I'm about to take a casserole to a pot luck in the park.

Note: I just stopped by The Pleated Poppy to link up (over 100 participants!), and this week is a thrifting challenge- which, as you might know, is totally what I'm going for here at Simply Step Back.

I'm Wearing:

Sleeveless Button-Down Shirt: Secondhand (was my mom's)

Red and White Gingham Dress: Goodwill, $6

Blue Flats (not pictured):  Savers, $5

Belt: Thrifted by a friend
