What NYC Recessionista Wears: Charlie Brown dress

I think I’ll probably always call this my ‘Charlie Brown dress’ from now on … it’s exactly what the zig-zag stripes across the front remind me of.

It’s really called the ‘Static Character dress’ and it’s one of my all-time favorites from Modcloth. I love the combination of the navy and the orange together. I love the retro feel of it, and the contrast sleeves. And I love the flattering fit — for a sweater dress, it still has a good structure to it.

I also got these new boots on sale at Clarks and they might just be the most comfortable pair of boots I’ve ever owned … I’ve been eyeing them since like August 🙂
