A couple of weeks ago Astrid posted an outfit with a black/red patterned dress over skinnies with a green bandana-tied scarf, and I really wanted to copy it with my similar dress. Unfortunately I can't seem to find her post right now though.

Anyway, here is my take on it. I like this but I don't love it. I think I prefer Astrid's version. I'm not sure what it is about mine that seems a little off - maybe the jeans are too blue, or the dress too complicated, or the boots too short (I actually wanted to wear my black suede boots, which are taller, but they are out of commission until I find time to take them to the cobbler). What do you think?

By the way, I really only wore the beret outdoors with my coat (it's too warm for indoors) but I liked the look with the outfit so I took a photo anyway.

ETA: I had no idea that either the dress challenge or the scarf challenge was happening today, but this outfit works for both!
