This dress is like a retro flight attendant uniform and thus impossible for me to resist, especially in such a punchy color. In case you missed the memo: I am a color addict (bright colors, off-beat colors, saturated and faded hues, they draw me like a bee to honey). Pairing the vibrant blue with peachy hues, mustard yellow, and some brown just seemed like such a wonderful mix of shades. Once again, I also seem to be reflecting my surroundings; brightly hued ocean in the sun and sea grasses turning more golden with fall.
*The dress came with a large white bow which I removed; it was very cute, but I think the dress is more versatile without it; it was very easy to remove with a seam-ripper.
Outfit details:
thrifted scarf
Cheap Monday sunglasses
Deux Lux purse
OPI nail polish

Chic Sailor Girl in aqua.. You look pretty.. love your wedges!!
ReplyDeleteI always find that depending on where I'm going to take blog pictures, that will define what I'm wearing. Totally subconsciously! I guess certain places remind me of certain outfits and I tend to lean towards them every time! haha Weird how much your surroundings influence you.

Fabulous dress and shoes, great look!!
ReplyDeleteYou've walked right out of a 60's movie.
ReplyDeleteIf you're ever clearing out your closet, may I have first dibs on your clothing before you post it to the store?
I think we're the same size. (size 2-4, petite 5' - 5'3").
Pretty please?
You're wearing the most alluring colour combo... It's ... so beachy and summery, which I need in my life.
Absolutely stunning. (AND NOT COLD????)

ReplyDeletei wander, i wonder
Oh you look fab and that dress is so retro and lovely! I am a little envious that you're not wearing many layers in these photos. I'm literally wearing as many as possible at the moment!

Totally adorable! Now tell me... how do you manage to keep that head scarf secure and on your head. I always seem to have mine slipping off if I don't tie it closer to my hair line. Do you have sneaky secret bobby pins?
ReplyDelete@Rebeccak, Yes, absolutely! Bobby pins are totally necessary (for me at least). Usually just two right behind my ears. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're in Virginia now?? How is it over there? I've only traveled to Alexandria on the way to DC : P I love those full skirts...definitely Fall. "Fashion (trends) comes and goes, but style is forever." -Coco Chanel
ReplyDeleteThe shape of this dress is superior! I adore the color and yeah...how it goes wonderfully with your red hair. I think I might have to search out a similar fitted sheath, now...
ReplyDeleteThe electric blue dress with gold and the mustardy colored bag is a great pairing.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so cute =) looks retroooo
ReplyDeleteI love the color combo and the bag is cool

This dress is beautiful! It reminds me of an old custom-made dress of my grandmother's that I have somewhere in the back of my closet. I've been checking your blog for the last week or so, and I love it. Where in Virginia are you? I'm in Virginia Beach, so I was just wondering because of your beachy photos. It would be neat to know there's another style blogger around here!
ReplyDeletevery mod!! i love the color of the dress! :D

ReplyDeleteI saw this dress and wanted it so badly! For the exact same reasons, that it looked like a 60s flight attendant outfit!! haha, it looks amazing on you! such a great color!
ReplyDeleteI need to put my hair up every time my partner and I join bazaars. We handle food so putting up our hair is an sop. Nice hair piece. You gave me an idea! :) thanks so much.
ReplyDeletethis dress is perfect: well-tailored, has amazing color which suit you so good, and is feminine as well! gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the color! And the outfit works so nicely with the water behind you, really cute look :)
ReplyDeleteI can't stand how much I love it. I am just a sucker for anything that looks like a uniform. I know there are lots of people like me out there. Why, why?! And I didn't go to Catholic school!
ReplyDeletefantastic dress! the colour is actually heavenly- you pick the best blues! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous dress, it is the best color! It nice to see some bright colors when during the winter all I wear and see is black and greys.
ReplyDeleteI'm also jealous of the weather you're having there!
Very retro, very beachy.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this dress! Your hair looks lovely with it too.
