All righty, well to cap-off Vintage Dress Week (which seemed to go on for two, but no matter), I present you my new favourite dress:
Dress: Vintage; Shoes: Modern Vintage (the brand); Jewelry: Forever 21; Bag: Coach; Car: my bf's sister's VW ;)
Aside from a few small tears in the dress, I could have sworn this was brand new. The cut, with the bustier like top (actual support here) and strategic pleating, plus silky material make for one hell of a flattering dress. Let's not forget the kicky 60's print of the Swiss Alps, downhill skiers and a happy sun.
Speaking of sun, whooooooboy. Im sure everyone in the Pacific Northwest knows what I am talking about....heat waves like this (being above 30C/86F for more than 5 days with a high humidex) only hit BC 3x a century! This is INSANE heat! But though it is a pain when you are trying to sleep (fans only blow hot air on you!) I am NOT complaining. I love this stifling oppressive heat - it is EPIC! It's fun and I know we will all look back and say WOW now THAT was a Summer! Plus, how can I not feel like I am vacationing in Maui or Palm SPrings?
It's great - especially now that I have set up a Slip N Slide in the backyard!! Spiderman, no doubt. And yes, I am over 12 years old, yes I weigh over 110 pounds and I am over 5 feet tall but those warning signs will NOT talk me out of this one!
Haha, in fact though it was 930 this morning when writing this post (I work from home on Wednesdays) I just had to run out and try it. AWESOME!
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed vintage dress week - I have one more vintage treat for you guys and this time it will actually be up for sale. It's one sweet, vintage romper...but Ill keep you in suspense for now :)
