I finally found it!

I have been in search for the perfect cardigan/sweater/jacket/shrug thingy for about 3 years. So that I can wear these beauties. Drum roll please...

There she is. Isnt she pretty? She is a greyish periwinkle that basically goes with anything. She is linen, light, and also taylored looking. On top of it all she was 15 bucks at Ross. I once found a similar top at Anthropologie and bought it because I knew it was a hard find, but later returned it with buyers remorse...I dont like to spend more than 20 bucks on anything.

Which brings be to this dress. Why did I buy it, you may be asking? I typically dont let my back hang out of my clothing but I got suckered in. It is Diesel with a regular price of 220.00. My price $7.00. I had to buy it and I always hoped I'd be able to wear it, and now...
I CAN! (most likely without jeans)

I can also wear this tank dress
and this and this

and...you get the idea.
So thank you mom for taking me B Day shopping. I dont think I have loved a purchase this much in a long time. (And yes, I did just spend an hour taking pictures of myself in different shirts. I am really bored today.)

I'm so happy for you. now I understand what you have been talking about. This is way cuter than just a simple sweater or something - which is what I would have settle for months ago.

I LOVE it and it really does go with everything!!! I also love that Diesel dress. Where are you finding these bargains, finding bargains makes me feel good about life for some odd reason.

I am also glad to actually see this elusive jacket thing you've tried to describe. It's so much better than the stuff we were all picking out for you in St. George.

FOUUUND!! !!!
Libby- I'm so happy for you. I know this has been haunting you and finally your tank-top/backless dress lovin' soul can rest and know it can both be stylish and modest; the quest we all strive for.
I can't wait to celebrate your birthday this week- and you better wear it every time I see you because you've just proven it goes with everything.

thanks mom for the pictures.
