pretty tough

what better way to be a pretty tough bird than to embody both while still being incredibly comfortable? ... by wearing this outfit which i am lusting after for a number of soirees that do not even exist yet like a salinger memorial/ literature reading, a wine tasting event with some friends coming into town soon, an outdoor movie screening when the nights warm up or oh say...my imaginary birthday/poetry/champagne party? regardless, it would be less than perfect in very few settings.

the grey leather would be infinitely utile due to its soft nature and color-both less harsh than black and less expected than brown. and what really can we say about the dress? every little girl wanted to be a little bit mermaid growing up and JCrew just made it possible without it being ridiculous.
