Outfit Post: Milkmaid

On Saturday I turned 30.  I'm still not really sure how I feel about it.  I keep joking about how "old" I am, but really, I know it's not all that old. --insert the old adage about how "age is just a number" here--

This outfit was meant to be worn to a wine tasting and birthday dinner with friends, but in full disclosure, I ended up doing a quick change right before I left because I felt a little overdressed.  I figured it was still worth posting the photos here because this 50's sundress is currently for sale in the shop!  I don't think people can get a full grasp for how amazing it is, just seeing it on the dress form.

1950's plaid sundress: Miskabelle, crossbody purse: vintage, 

shoes: BCBG, necklace: gift from Amanda

It has pockets!! 

Lyla is always insistent on getting in on the photo-action.  And she definitely brings

 out my best smile, so I am happy to oblige.

I am usually unsure how I feel about myself in milkmaid braids, but on this day I was digging it.  You would think it would be a little "too much" with this dress, but somehow it worked...I think.

Hope you all had a great weekend!  Look for Amanda's post this week about her experience at the very first DC Flea event!

Shop Preview: Spring Dreams

It's a little warm here in Virginia, especially considering it's the middle of January. I'd appreciate it much more if it were accompanied by some sunshine, but I guess that's not to be. I recently found these two beauties, and even though they're not quite seasonally appropriate, they're too pretty to be left inside...

 1960s Brocade Wiggle Dress w/ Crisscross Button Detail

1950s Cotton Printed Sundress with Rhinestones on Bodice (none missing!)

One look at these pieces has me wanting to put on a pretty dress and some heels and go out on the town. But it's more likely that my next date night will involve hats, scarves, jeans, and boots.

Oh well.  Spring will be here before w know it!

Amanda
