How to Wear Vintage: Vintage Dresses with Sneakers

If I'm being honest, it's hard to imagine wearing clothes right now because it's so darn hot and humid. However, clothes must be worn.  Flip flops are easy summer shoes, but they're not very good support (and frankly, I still find them frumpy/lazy, if I'm honest), so occasionally, I've been pairing my Converse with a cute dress. This is a great look for traveling, especially if you're going to be doing a lot of walking. Canvas is lightweight and breathable. Sneakers are also just the thing  if your pedicure is looking less-than-stellar.

From the Shop: Festival Dreams

I am a music fiend, and going to a festival is a big dream of mine (that is nowhere in the foreseeable future, and by the time it is, I will probably be too old and jaded). But SO much style and inspiration comes from this big outdoor fests, so I did a little brainstorm of what I might put together (head to toe vintage!) to rock out to my favorite musicians:

You're probably gonna sway to: Band of Horses, Shovels and Rope, The Lumineers, Lord Huron
What to wear: cropped knit tank, peasant floral skirt, campus boots, leather crossbody bag
Just add:  a flower crown, a wrist full of friendship bracelets from all your new best friends

You'll be bobbing your head to: Grizzly Bear, Local Natives, Passion Pit, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend
What to wear:  key print scarf, striped sweater tee, gray denim cutoffs, chain maille bag, huarache sandals
Just add:  wayfarers, a PBR

You'll be dancing to: Bat for Lashes, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Purity Ring, the XX
What to wear:  black cutout maxi dress, statement necklace, t-strap sandals, woven clutch
Just add:  thick black eyeliner, a lower back tattoo (fake...or real!)

Which look would you take to your favorite shows? (And who are you dying to see live?)
