I'm a sucker for a vintage dress at a thrift store. The hard part is that my style isn't really that of a vintage dress wearing girl. I buy lots of them with high hopes and thoughts of alterations and then never get around to doing it. Well today Bean picked yet another vintage dress for me to style and while I like what I ended up with it took me a long time to get there. The neckline of this dress didn't look right with anything I own (and believe me, I'm pretty sure I tried every top/jacket in my wardrobe) AND I felt like it was constantly choking me at work today. So guess what? It's out. I feel like the one time of wearing is worth the $2 I probably paid for it. But here's it's 15 minutes of fame:
dress: thrifted, blazer: Gap, tights: Target, shoes: Ralph Lauren (via Ross)
I have to admit, I think the dress looks SUPER great on you, but if it makes you tug and pull, it's gotta go.
ReplyDeleteIt does look great on you! Its too bad vintage is so hard to fit sometimes. I love it with the blazer too. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great on you. I'm sorry you didn't like it way it fits, because it is lovely. Could you relax the collar somehow? I don't know how to hem, myself, but for a $2 dress that I was planning on getting rid of, I'd be willing to experiment.

I think this dress is cute. I think you should style it with some red ... like cork summer wedges made with red. :) (I got some at Walmart for like $1 ;)
