Something Old, Something New

Tookie Does Tartan

I had the honor of going and covering Memphis Fashion Weekend.  I was only able to attend Saturday night, and this is what I wore...The day of the event I found this dress in a big bag of old clothes given to me by the older cousin.  I thought the dress would be perfect because it was comfy, and it was my Something Old.

I'm sure my cousin has had this dress since the late 1980s, but it was still in near perfect condition.  The fit was great, and I didn't need to do anything to it other than add gold accessories.  What do you think of the look??

And because I am a big dork I actually did research on the "tartan" that i'm wearing.  This pattern was first recorded in the Scotish Tartan Society/ Scottish Tartans Authority by the Wallace Clan in 1842.  It's also known as Wallace Red, and it's used by 3M on their Scotch tape.

Hey guys, since i'm home sick and furloughed, I figured I would be as productive as possible from my bedside with SOSNU.  So let's get right into this outfit.  The first thing I loved about this outfit was how it easy it was transition this look from work, right to my dinner date with my bf.   He said I was giving a little punk rocker attitude with this look.

I got these awesome ankle length pants from Target.  I got the sz. 2 because I think that might be the smallest size they carry.  Nonetheless they fit great, and I was very impressed with the double sided design.  Although the white panel is in the front of the pants, I do intend to wear them throughout the winter.
