sweaters | too cool for middle school

Whew! 31 days of dresses and selfies is complete! It was not easy, but I’m proud of myself and all the other “dressemberists” for completing our goal. The days isn’t quite over, but so far we’ve raised $404,000 for the International Justice Mission to use to rescue girls from sex trafficking and to prosecute brothels and pimps. It’s an amazing cause and I love that so many women have come together to simply wear a dress and share photos to raise awareness for the campaign. We are powerful, beautiful, stylish and effective. We are world-changers! Participating in Dressember is always a great way to end the year focused on global issues and social justice.

Dressember is also a fun fashion challenge, so here are all of the dresses I wore this month. I wore about 20 different dresses, but you could definitely re-wear the same dresses more often than I did. After participating last year I made a conscious effort to stock up on a few affordable dresses throughout the year because December is a terrible time to buy dresses for some reason. They are all sparkly and New Year’s Eve-y and nothing that I would wear on a regular basis. I buy almost all my clothes from Target, Forever 21, Old Navy and Marshalls (I should really branch out), so every outfit in this post is affordable if not downright cheap. Scarves, boots, sweaters and tights really complete the looks and make them more interesting. Scroll through and hopefully you will be inspired to join me in Dressember next year!
