It's been a while since a real post--hopefully I'll get back into it soon, I'm afraid March was not a great month for me, so for now I'll post a slightly older outfit until I'm feeling more myself!
Remember when it was eight degrees out? That was weird. During a normal early spring I would be perfectly happy with these current somewhere-in-the-fifties temperatures we've got going on, but now my frame of reference for warm weather is all off. I keep running around with bare legs or no socks, my toes freezing by the afternoon.
Dress: Vintage from jessjamesjake, Shoes: Chelsea Crew, Bag: Aldo circa summer 2011, Belt: J. Crew circa 2009, Glasses: H&M 2011
These are from one of those warm days, two weeks ago now, when I couldn't wait to wear a new dress out and about. Ages ago, in middle school I think, I had a sailor tunic type thing that I loved but never wore. I've still got a soft spot for anything sailor-esque, especially vintage, although most of the 60s and earlier dresses that I love are often way out of my price range. I find most of the dresses from the 80s and 90s have collars that are so large all I can do all day is imagine Flying Nuns.
This one is perfect though. It's been sitting in the closet again now that it's chilly, but I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing it all summer.

you are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! I had a sailor-stuff phase when I was a kid too, but that was because of sailor moon.
ReplyDeletethis dress is seriously perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt was all a dream. Now I'm wearing flannel. You look amazing, as usual.
ReplyDeletethis dress is perfection! and I know what you mean with the temperatures - after some super sunny days, today it SNOWED. I hated it.
ReplyDeleteThis one really is perfect! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful find. I love some of those 80s and 90s dresses because they mimic some of the earlier fashions while still being affordable!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - I think that might just be the perfect sailor dress. You look lovely :)
