Dressing Up

I had an excuse to wear this pretty, vintage dress today. The sneakers were also very practical. Other ladies who dressed up had to deal with their stilettos sinking into the ground!

Well I've to say it's not my favorite.the only thing I like is the color with your hair.

young said...

awfully pretty dress! you look lovely.
and the yellowy tone of the photo is great! but maybe the wall is actually yellow? in which case, a very nice match!

I was planning on buying a vintage dress on ebay... and instead I ended up bidding on a book. In my defense, it's an advanced copy so it's an extra-special book.

Gorgeous dress! I really like the textre.

Blue Floppy Hat said...

That is such a beautiful dress, and you look lovely in it. And I'm all for dresses and sneakers- they're my default look, and not only are they comfy, they're really good for de-sexifying something that would have felt a bit too much for wearing with heels (though I'm sure your dress would look gorgeous with heels, too).

Carissa said...

you're adorable!!

Stephie said...

And I love stilettos! Even if they do sink into the ground... That just means walking on your toes while crossing muddy fields!
