I just bought myself this lovely little blue dress and decided I had to granny-fy it. Or basically take a pretty dress and destroy some of the obvious beauty with things an old lady might wear. The orange coat also seemed so necessary as this color combination felt very Jonathan Saunders F/W 2011 to me. The coat is also new-to-me and I'm quite excited about it's color and shape. Warmer weather might be on the horizon and while I'm very excited to shed my winter layers, for some reason I'm still feeling very drawn to pretty coats.

Love that dress! It would be ideal for a summer evening spent bird watching with my father-in-law. Maybe it would even disguise me enough for the birds to allow me to get close enough for a decent photo?
That dress is amazing!! The best dress I've seen in a long time.

I've raved about the shoes before, but I LOVE that coat! I like the way it contrasts with your hair, and the pattern of the dress is gorgeous too, I love bird prints.
In fact I love the whole outfit...if it ever needs a new home you know where to send it! ;)

Wow! The cut of the dress is so very alluring.
Yet, of course, while you must have done your utmost to grannie-fy it, I think you were an utter failure, darling! :) You look so organic, spring-like and charming. You just need a bit of lace, really.
The coat is gorgeous. Very in with a lot of the trends I'm seeing out of Asia, but with the American flare for color.
Gorgeous.

The fabric is extraordinary!! I love the pretty little cardinals all over it. And the way you paired it with the orange coat is A+. So different and unexpected but it looks great together!

These photos are adorable! You look so cute perched on the staircase, and I looove the bird print on your dress!
Gorgeous outfit. That coat is beautiful, wow.
the dress is excellent!
I usually finding myself taking a very "granny" item and youthifying it! I love the combination of old and young. And some granny things have such a classic beauty.
love the orange & the blue together. i've been trying to work that color combo myself
oh my goodness, I saw someone wearing that dress on a UK tv show and spent hours trying to find it online!
You are my new favourite person! :)
The outfit is adorable it has a really warm feel to it Rebecca!! What other coloured tights would you wear with it?
@Anonymous, I'd wear the color tights I'm wearing with it now; grey. :)
I really love the dress. It's so pretty. The coat is fantastic. It didn't shock me it's vintage.

I love everything about your outfit. It is absolutely adorable! The coat is so unique and gorgeous.
This might be my favorite outfit of your ever! ;O)
Seeing you in that dress on you has solidified my love for it, and I love how you grannified it!
I am so obsessed with birds. I draw them, I watch them, take pictures of them...ok that might sound a little creepy but I love them on fabric as well! The dress is perfect. Absolutely stunning. And you'd make one stylish granny ;).
I love your bird print dress. It's so adorable! You look so sweet! And wow, you really pull off that orange coat.

loooove the orange touches! There's this small satchel bag at Kate Spade right now in an orangesicle color that is so pretty!
You look lovely in that dress! :)

Beautiful coat and dress! I wish all grannies dressed like this! :)
your blog is a constant inspiration for me, thank you! :)
Nice coat! I used to have a similar one, but my boyfriend hated it and called it my "Elmo jacket". Eventually I donated it to a charity shop to appease him. I'd recently thrown away one his old, gross hoodies, so it was only fair.
I love these gray tights. So cozy and cute. I tried on the cutest dress in Anthro yesterday that birds all over it. I loved it! Perfect for spring!
you always look so classy in your outfit posts. oh and that orange is so striking! i like it
You're adorable !
You are wonderfully poetic with your clothes. The detail photograph seem to me like a like a fair well to winter in it's old wool sunset, the doors to new life slightly open.
Oh, I just love that dress! I love bird prints and cardinals and chickadees are some of my favourites!
Love the heeled penny loafers! You look adorable in these shots!
