My Easy Portland dress revisited

This is my easy Portland dress. I actually bought it on my first trip to Portland, Oregon four years ago. It was January and I was browsing the Buffalo Exchange, a famous Portland thrift/vintage shop. I remember thinking that it was comfortable and I liked how unique it was. The buttons that line both sides on the chest and torso section give it sort of a nautical look. It has a comfy material and it’s black. You can never go wrong with a little black dress. And of course my regular readers know how much I love a good LBD.

So I bought it in the dead of winter and wore it a ton. I mean this has been my go-to dress ever since. This past year though, it was packed away in a box that I forgot about until several weeks ago. It was like Christmas opening a box of dresses I had forgotten about. I was so happy to have my favorite LBD back in my closet again.

This week, I am exploring Portland, Oregon with one of my best friends. She asked me to plan a trip for her back in February and I said yes with the only stipulation being that I get to come along.

As I was packing, it only seemed fitting to pack my easy Portland dress. After all, why not?
