Dress - vintage from flea market, belt - flea market, shoes - Target, bracelets - thrifted/flea market.
I think I decided I have to attempt to make a pattern from this dress and try really hard to make it in cotton. I love it post-alterations. Oh, awesome, I could probably get a roll of paper to use to make the pattern from my work. Sorry, that's just a mental note.
This belt is from a dress that cost me $1 at the same flea market. Seriously, I need to fit it in my schedule to go July 11/12. But I think I work both days... glorious, eh? And I get paid the 13th. Ah, oh well.
So yeah, I didn't actually wear this anywhere... more just wishing that I had somewhere to go where it would be somewhat appropriate. Meaning somewhere air conditioned, because polyester is awful.

PS I entered the I Love the 80's contest on Chictopia. I do not doubt that this dress is from the 80's, same goes for the belt. I also want to enter the bike contest because I could really use some exercise and I'd love a cute bike. Sigh.
PPS I want to try out a cropped top, but I wouldn't have any idea where to wear them without feeling scandalous and self-conscious. Any ideas?
That dress looks amazing on you! x
ReplyDeletethat dress is beautiful! love the belt as well :)
ReplyDeletei love the dress! thanks for the closeup too .. it went from looking pretty to awsome just becouse i can appreciate the belt and the little grain things on your dress and i love the diagonal ruffles
ReplyDeleteYour style is tremendous and I wish I frequented the flea markets more. The ones closest by to me aren't as good gold mines as they used to be, granted it's been a while. Bummer...
ReplyDeleteOh, and thank you for the nice comment in return. :]
what a cute look....I like that its short =)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is a change from your usual wardrobe. I like it!
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe you could try wearing a bodysuit with the cropped top? Personally, I feel kinda weird wearing a crop top, because it's a shirt, but it doesn't cover all of what it's supposed to... If that makes sense.
great dress ! love it :D hope you win the chictopia contest :D
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest outfit ever, I love the length of the dress.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the dress! So cute and I adore the pink colour. xo
ReplyDeleteOhh great dress! <3
ReplyDeleteomg seriously this dress is amazing , i want it hahah
ReplyDeleteand that belt too.
i think if you wanna go for the cropped top make sure your wearing some highwaited skirt or shorts so that way you dont feel that self conscious.
i think you will look really cute with crop top.
xo!

Yikes! I've never owned a dog in my life. For a while I was allergic to them, too. Thankfully, they never ate my things, especially bears [or homework.] Sorry yours did.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed my entry. I feel good when I know I've made someone laugh or be amused.
I looove the shoes! And the dress!
ReplyDeleteYou totally scored with that vintage dress!

i love the dress, the belt, the shoes.. u look sensational darling
ReplyDeleteIN LOVE WITH THE DRESS! And the belt is perfect with it. You should try a crop top going to the beach or getting lunch with a friend in that kind of area. Unless you're like me and haven't really gotten yourself to the beach...perhaps on a very hot summery day at a flea market?
ReplyDeleteOh and my jacket was from my mom's closet, though I do love Forever 21 :)
The cut of that dress is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteAnd about the crop top.. you could try layering it over a bodycon dress?! That's what I do sometimes!
xx
LOVE this outfit!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is the cutest.
ReplyDeleteI've found that cropped tees feel most appropriate on the beach.
