Hey! Remember this vintage dress from Tuesday's post? :DDD I've been dying for things to warm up around here so I can style some more items from my Etsy and Storenvy shops. Seeing stuff on a mannequin is cool and all, but I think that some garments require a live soul to bring them to life! :P
It was a gorgeous, sunny day and a slightly chilly wind was blowing. It was a nice breeze, though. It felt so much like Spring and I love when the wind picks up the flaps of my coat and swirls my dress. These motions make for awesome photos. Hehe. ^_^ Anyway, yeah, I decided I needed to plant my soul in this dress and show you guys just how wearable it is. The design and color scheme speak volumes. It's impossible to wear this dress the wrong way. All I did was add a coat, simple belt, boots and a hat.
The dress will shine no matter what you do to it, really! :D I think it would look fantastic with a super over-sized and slouchy black sweater or cardigan in Fall/Winter. Houndstooth would look killer with this, too! Don't be afraid to mix prints! The material is wool, I believe, so early Spring/Fall/Winter are the best seasons for this dress. The material soaks up sunshine and does a wonderful job retaining warmth.
I can't say enough good things about this dress. Haha. Now, I'm feeling conflicted and I kind of want to keep it. I dunno. I might. It's just that I've been saving up for my teaching certification since the inception of my Etsy and Storenvy shops. I want to get certified this Summer and start teaching law abroad by next year. I'm short on funds, so I've sold quite a few things that I love, these days. >_<
Priorities, right? Priorities. Hehe. Anyway, I felt like such a bad ass strutting my stuff around town in this awesome dress. Stares galore, bro! If you want more details, check it out on Etsy and whatnot.
The musical inspiration for my retro outfit and the title of this post. Old school! ;D
Man, I am so ready for the weekend! I'm pumped to go for a run and not have to fear totally wiping out on an ice patch in front of everybody. Haha. I hope you all have an awesome rest of the week! <3
