Easter Sunday is great because it means you get a new dress and wear as many pastel colors as possible and everyone just thinks you're being festive instead of ostentatious.


Dress: Custard Heart Vintage, Jacket: Vintage, Bag: Vintage, Shoes: Thrifted, Tights: J. Crew, Hair flower: J. Crew
I expect you'll be seeing more of this funny little jacket in the coming weeks, it's one of the few in my collection (I don't know, I keep buying cropped jackets in vintage stores that clearly once belonged to a set from which the dress is long since separated, thinking I'll wear them with everything and then I wear them never or hardly ever) that I can picture with at least two other dresses. It's made of a scratchy material that makes a really horrendous noise but look at the funny sleeves! And the print has hot pink in it, and impressionistic flowers!


My favorite thing about this whole Easter-egg ensemble though, is this shoes. The heel is scalloped and they actually, in a miracle of the kind I have not witnessed in an age, fit my ridiculous feet. Also they were twenty-five cents. I can barely conceive of it! I have that feeling where I want to wear them with every outfit, but I'm afraid of wearing them to smithereens.
Happy Spring!
Hooooooly buttons, I want to steal errthang.
ReplyDeleteThis is the dress that is like the dress you got! So we should coordinate someday and be really, really twee!
DeleteDEFINITELY. And then walk into a Dunkin' Donuts XD
DeleteOh I love this so much! I am crazy about all your pattern mixing lately.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! I've been really just, I feel lately like I just want to wear nothing but patterns.
Deleteyour hair and those lilac tights are to die for!
ReplyDeletedo you rag-curl your hair?
I do! I keep meaning to make a tutorial or something, but I just do it on dry hair (I usually wash my hair once a week and use a curling iron on it the day I wash it, and then I rag it the rest of the week)!
DeleteYou have experienced a shoe miracle! Those are fantastic, and I love your festive/ostentatious outfit. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you! I still can't believe I found them!
Deletethose shoes are perfection! love the scallop detail
ReplyDeleteIt's the best right? I keep looking for new shoes with that detail on them, I need more!
DeleteAh, the colours! They're magical! You should dress like this all the time.
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to try to! I was trying to be kind of, I don't know, cool for a while there but I think naturally I am more twee.
DeleteI adore your ensemble! It's so delightfully colourful!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to find nicely cropped jackets and cardigans to wear with vintage full skirted dresses. I need to take a leaf out of your book and keep buying them when I see them! :)
I just can't leave them behind, it's like I need to take them home and love them.
Deletearen't you a little easter doll?! i love the pattern mixing and the cute colors of this outfit!
ReplyDeletehappy easter!
xx
Thank you ever so! Happy Easter!!
DeleteI love your post title! We stuck some bunny ears on our pup today and I kept calling her Little Bunny Foo Foo :)
ReplyDeleteAs for your outfit, it's gorgeous. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
I have no idea where I learned that song, but I love it! I just think it's so funny, and how often do we really have to sing it?
DeleteThank you dear <3
Yay for mixing patterns.. and that dress! What a dress! The details on your shoes are just delightful too :) Hope it was a happy easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you had a lovely day as well!
Delete25 cents! That is so amazing!! I love the floral on floral combination, must try it out one day:)
ReplyDeleteWe're a bit scarce on actual blooms lately, so I've got to wear them all at once to make up for it!
DeleteThis outfit is perfection from top to toe. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHayy Easter.

Thank you so much dearest!
Deletebeautiful.. i'm in love your entire outfit, but that dress is to die for
ReplyDeleteIt really is, I bought it as a form of intense retail therapy and thank god I did!
Deletewohoho, this outfit is adorable in so many ways! the tulip dress is perfect, the little jacket is sweet as pie and those shoes... 25c?! a-mazing! love this.
ReplyDeleteThank you ever so!
DeleteGorgeous shoes - and a bargain to boot! And love your dress. Everyone seems to have been wearing tulips for Easter. Florals doesn't surprise me, but I was never aware of there being so many tulip patterns. But I got myself a new tulip dress which I posted about yesterday, and I've just seen that the Fiercest Lilliputian wore a tulip blouse on her blog. They are the flower for early April, I guess! And I like that all the patterns/outfits are all so different despite the tulip theme.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is I am so very allergic to tulips! My mother is too! It's really weird. My city is kind of way into tulips, we even have a festival for them that I've never been too except once when I had to work an event at the park a few days before it, and I was so sick afterwards, I had the worst sinus infection! So I figured this way I get to enjoy them without getting sick.
DeleteI adore whole outfit and the mix of patterns and color palette, but my faves are dress and shoes!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thank you!
DeleteWow those shoes were a fantastic find!
ReplyDeleteI was blessed, hopefully the luck keeps up!
Deleteso great! these colors are all so amazing, and great job with the print mixing!! and 25 cent shoes.. golly, the best!!
ReplyDeleteI used to be soooo suspicious of pink, but now I want to eat it all up and wear it!
DeleteLove this spring outfit! Makes me happy! Happy Easter x
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter as well, thank you so!
DeleteYou are the cutest & sweetest.
ReplyDeleteOh bless you friend <33
Deletelooks fabulous! love spring prints!!
ReplyDeleteI think I die all winter without them.
DeleteOh that dress is too die for! So cute and brilliantly vintage! exactly the type of thing I would wear, beautiful!

I'm really glad I made a snap decision to grab it before someone else did! I am so in love with it!
DeleteMy mind is blown. HOLY PASTEL. I want all of this, you look delectable.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear!! I think I'm making up for all the lost time I spent not wearing pink.
Deleteyou look picture perfect in this outfit. Its like you just walked off the set of Mad Me.
ReplyDeleteIf only! Thank you so much!
DeleteAgghhhh this dress was one of my favourites on Etsy! I am so jealous but it does look absolutely stunning on you :) If you ever get bored of it in the future I will happily buy it from you xxx
ReplyDeleteI had to grab it the second I saw it. I think I might have thought for about half an hour and then took the plunge. There is another dress on etsy from another seller that is sort of from the same family, and someone snatched it out from under me, I'm really hoping I see it on another blogger soon though!
DeleteI like your purse, I used to have one almost exactly the same. See it here; http://www.stylesymmetry.com/2009/07/28/tristesse-joie-cest-comme-ca/
ReplyDeleteAhh it's the same! There is another one on etsy, in black, I guess whatever kit this one was from was quite popular back in the day! Twins!
DeleteI just discovered your blog! You have such cute and amazing style I love it! And this little floral ensemble is absolutely darling! Following your blog now! Can't wait to see more posts from you in the future! Check mine out!

You have got to be kidding me. The heels were only .25 cents!!?? That is amazing! They're so lovely and so is the tulip print on your dress. Tulips are my favorite flowers! You have great style! :)
