Mad For Modcloth

I've never really been one for back-to-school shopping or fall basics or whatever. Not that I don't like the idea, it's just I tend to lack the focus and go about my purchases willy-nilly. For example, I've been wanting ankle boots for months, but instead my most recent shoe purchase was a pair of wedges because they were on sale...Regardless of my lack of focus, this autumnal season has brought me plethora of Modcloth items. I'm definitely not complaining since I've basically been coveting their real vintage and retro pieces for over a year now.
The latest addition to my ill-conceived wardrobe, the Side Story dress. I love the pockets and the shape of the sleeves; all in all it makes me feel mildly Mad Men-esque...

This Brick Lane Bag is also new and totally feeding my current green addiction and roomy enough for all the superfluous things I can't leave my house without. I wonder if my newly discovered love for green has to do with the fact that the leaves are changing colors...

Barbro Andersen said...

The first picture is just stunning, great dress and a beautiful location indeed <3 Haha, and I got to say that you got me a little bit confused on upside-down photo :p

My whole closet has an overload of sale-items, I just can't help it. The worst part is probably that I'm to attached to get rid of anything too :p

Corinna said...

simone! said...

This whole outfit just ties together so well. As always, I love watching your little animation/slideshow thinger, too. ♥

Lillian said...

I can deffinetly identify with lack of focus when it comes to a wardrobe. Its like I've still got leftover from my punk phase and my hippie phase and my super colorful raver phase, plus right now my Draw towards all things grey and black. Trying to find a balance between wearing all black and looking like a rainbow threw up on me is considerably harder then one might think.

On a more related note, that dress is Lovely. but I'm a sucker for anything with pockets.

Indy said...

Um, total bag envy! I love big bags...and that one is such a gorgeous color!

hannahlizabeth said...

i love your rings miss!

and that sure is a gorgeous dress - might make a school day more exciting?

Sydney said...

i love everything about this, what a great dress!

SO. said...

hahah it really does make you look like youre one of the characters from mad men and my god, your green bag against the fall leaves is really a nice picture that plays with colors. and like the previous commenters have said, it is NOT a type of green we still everyday. this green shines..

anne said...

love the dress! and all the rings.

Faux Naif said...

Amy said...

This outfit is adorable! I bought a similar dress at UO, and this outfit you've posted inspires me to dress it up!

Emily said...

I love this dress. I wanted to order it in green a few weeks ago, but all the small sizes are sold out. The indigo is just as pretty and looks great on you!

P.S. I think it's great that you and Much Love are hosting a giveaway! I can't get enough of the vintage swan pendant I purchased either :D

Big Daddy said...

Oh that dress is so cute on you, love how your nails match!!

Ambroisine said...

The scenery is gorgeous, I really like the second picture and the one wih the bag hanging on a tree. I love the indigo color of your dress and those heart tights are too die for !

Kelley Anne said...

What a beautiful dress! There are so many wonderful details to love. I especially adore the empire waist, sleeves and front of the skirt. The bag is amazing too. I also always feel the need to bring lots of things around with me:)

lydia said...

i love your dress. these pictures are amazing and your nail polish is too!

caramelizedvintage said...

There are so many great things to have that I think it's pretty easy to get distracted with purchases. I do love that dress from Tulle! The cap sleeves are the cutest. Too bad the green version sold out in smaller sizes.

And your gifs always make me giggle.

Eyeliah said...

hannah said...

gorgeous! what a charming color, i'm totally envious, and your spinning gif is super cutes :)

Oooh, that is one lovely dress and you look fabulous in it! I dig the nails.

Amelia said...

I love the color of the dress and how the skirt is pleated. It looks lovely with the tights.

Haha, that's pretty much how I shop, too :)

umama said...

Your lil motion pics crack me up! Too cute!

indigotangerine said...

your pictures are always so lovely, the setting is beautiful, my favorite is the tights one. And your dress is beautifull in both cut and color. I didn't even notice the upside down one until I scrolled through the comments.

that dress is perfection on you! I've been meaning to mention that I like that you wear a bunch of random silver rings because I do too. I love how it looks.

Alba_Shopaholic said...

Me encantan el vestido. Anda que casualidad yo tengo el mismo esmalte de uñas.

Valencia Lia said...

Mad Men Craze is getting to me too !! Ahhhhhh

And this dress really brings out the 40s 50s look and I love love it so much! The color is so beautiful:)

Plus your green bag is adorable ! Roomy bags always works for me,esp when I always over pack my things when I head out.

Loving dark nails and gorgeous rings !!

Ohhh yes,I agreed what you said on the comments! In this generation,we can be anything we want from any eras!!
Even though I love love the 60s,but other eras attracts me so much too.

I guess we're really blessed to be born now where we have so much freedom <3 <3

Lovely outfit, the dress is darling, and I covet your necklace, rings and sheer tights:)

The second pic is breathtakingly beautiful!

Mary Van Notes said...

Awwww! I LOVE your photos. The last animated one is so fun. You're adorable and the dress looks great on you.

I remember how excited I would get when I went back to school shopping. Not just about getting new things, but more so the building anticipation for the school year... going back to see friends, making new ones. It always felt like a clean slate when first day came around. I kind of miss that excitement.

Taylor Sterling said...

So cute! I love the tights and the purse is amazing!

Miri said...

The dress is such a lovely shade of purple! So unusual =)

patty said...

So pretty! I love how you paired the dress with those tights and flats. :)

tofuscloset said...

that dress is super cute
you always look adorable in everything R!

Maeko said...

I love Modcloth as well. It's just too bad my budget has already been exceeded for fall spree-ing... I ended up buying a few full-priced, or pricier items in hopes of their lasting much longer than the cheaper purchases I've made at ShopRuche or F21... We'll see how it pans out!

IRYC (in response to your comment on my site): I think it’s great he’s doing a full length feature all stop motion. He’s done a few things here and there, like a few scenes in The Life Aquatic, which were all executed superbly. I can’t wait for the full-on colour season to descend on Michigan. I’d say we’re about 50% there.

missDTM said...

looooooove this green bag!!! and your outfit is (as always) fabulous!

K said...

Cute dress! I love the colour. And I love your photos with their gorgeous backdrops, as usual :)

Manja said...

I am kind of the same way. I have been wanting to buy a big purse for forever but everytime I buy a purse it's a small one with really long straps*sigh*

That dress really does remind me a lot of Mad Men!

Miss Head Over Heels said...

Alice said...

Gorgeous outfit, and you accessories beautifully. I especially love the bag and the rings.

I would love ModCloth in the UK, it costs to much to ship over here sadly.

sarathira sukiman said...

i love the cuttings of this dress, it fits you like a perfectly sewn glove. & definitely mad men-esque! what would your alter name be? :)

joelle van dyne said...

i have those same betsey johnson tights! i found them at marshall's, then was so afraid to get a rip in them that i went back and bought a back-up. they're just so CUTE! i like that you paired their cutesy-ness with the more structured modcloth dress. it's a great outfit! ~joelle

Rebecca said...

That dress is perfect!

ZombieLace said...

I think the up-do makes it even more fabulously Mad Men!

Quixsa said...
