A good amount of mental debate went into the purchase of this dress. On one hand: it was vintage, blue, adorable, and on sale for less than $10. On the other hand: it was too adorable, as in something a child would wear. This went on for quite awhile and then I decided to choose the dress. I marched up to the cash register with it in hand, moving quickly before I could talk myself out of it. The lady checking me out said it was "pretty" and asked if I was going to display it. When I replied that I intended to wear it, she gave me the oddest look...like, "are you crazy?" Which of course made me question the victor in my rigorous mental debate, but at that point it was too late and she was cautiously putting it into a bag and handing it over to me, dubious expression still intact on her face.

So, here I am wearing a vintage dress that fits as if it was made for me, but was probably made for someone significantly younger. Oh yes, sometimes I would like to dress "mature" and be taken seriously, but mostly I just want to wear pretty dresses that appeal to my eye (and make ridiculous gifs).
