Dress it Up, Dress it Down

I just love mixing things that don't necessarily "go together". For example, I bought this LBD specifically to go to a fashion show. Of course, a little black dress is a must have in everyone's wardrobe so I kind of needed one anyways. Anyways, I just love the polished look of a little black dress + black tights. Adding my Dolce Vita booties and a slouchy casual cardigan took the dress in a whole different comfy direction which was perfect for my day off. I literally spent all day today in front of a computer though, so it wasn't the most relaxing day off I've ever had. I certainly prefer my desk to the ones at my college though. I just finished my homework, and here I am still on the computer because I haven't been able to get this sweater out of my mind since I saw it at Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago. Buying and wearing something I've been anxious to wear always makes me very excited to post pictures. There's nothing quite as exciting to me as the excitement I get when I wake up with a cute outfit idea in mind!

What do you think of the dressy meets casual look?
