A little brown polka dot frock caught my eye amidst the crammed rack of dresses.
I had just found IT.
The vintage dress of my dreams........in my size........eeeeeekkkkkk..........
The tag.......
The bow, the pleats, the belt......
Will I ever wear it?
Hmmmm. Welllll. That remains to be seen. It would require a special occasion.
Like being an extra on Mad Men maybe?
Not likely, but.....
It does do something to me when I put it on. It makes me want to twirl.
And when you're left to your own devices, with a self timer on your camera, in a sea of leaves, strange things happen.......
Did I really just post a picture on the internets of me twirling in my backyard?
I did.
That's what finding the perfect vintage dress will do to you.
Be warned.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Who would donate that dress? I love it. It fits you like a glove. It does have a Mad Men/I love Lucy kind of a feel...and I love it. I hope you find an excuse to wear it often!!!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... How on earth did someone else ever give up such gold !!! It's just delicious ! Pretty sure it must've been an accident, because even if I got chunkier and couldn't fit into that dress, it'd be my motivation to lose weight ... ... jealous does not even begin to describe !
ReplyDeleteHow DID someone decide to part with it!?!?! I feel like the stars aligned!!!
Deleteohhh my word you hit the jackpot! Finds like that are one in a million and feel so good when it happens to you! I love how it goes to your knee ad has large polkadots. Looks amazing on you! I love your style!!
