My lovely sponsor The Attic People sent me this awesome vintage denim dress. I've been wearing loads of red this summer, so I love the little details on this dress. Vintage pieces always seem to have the best details. I was inspired to chop the dress into a mini after watching this video about Elizabeth Spiridakis's (Feels Like White Lightning) style. She doesn't really talk about minis in the video, but she often wears them with colorful tights and crazy shoes. Some people are quite sensitive about customizing vintage, but I'm a firm believer in making changes to your clothes if it means you will wear them more. Although, I might have hemmed it a tad too short for my tastes. I'll probably be adding a few inches back at some point! Still, it's a really fun little dress and we even had cooler weather for a day, so I was able to style it with tights. The whole ensemble reminds me of how I used to dress...in kindergarten.

It's a really gorgeous dress, I love the details on it. I'm definitely a fan of you in red (that bag is awesome). I personally never used to wear it but I'm definitely a convert these days.

ReplyDeletei adore that outfit! maybe for you it's kindergarten, but for me it's like a dress i wore at age 3. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Jeffrey Campbell heels really play well with the vintage denim dress. =)

When I first saw it, I was like, "that's not Rebecca! That skirt is WAY too short!" But I rather like it.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice change. NICE LEGS, might I add! :)

I adore that dress! It's very unusual looking, that's the best thing about vintage :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen so much of your legs on your blog! They go for miles!! Gorgeous, lady :)
ReplyDeleteOh that dress is so pretty! I first thought you were wearing a red shirt underneath the dress :)

Such a pretty dress! I like the print and hemming it was a good idea!
ReplyDeleteHeels are rockin! I totally remember sporting a similar pair in middle school (like 15 years ago - god I'm old, haha). I'm hunting for a new pair!

This tights & shoes combination has me absolutely swooning... I loooove the soft gray tights with the super high heeled loafers. This makes me a little bit excited for fall!

LOVE the dress!
ReplyDeleteIt's like two dresses in one! I also look forward to cooler weather sometimes because I prefer tights to bare legs (looks-wise, anyway...).

That outfit is perfect. If you are going more in this direction (colour/70s/preppy/sorta?) then I'm all for it. So cute! That dress is perfect. I have been looking again at some of my vintage denim pieces and trying to understand how they fit again, and now I get it. And I need those shoes. Bye :)
ReplyDelete"not love"!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is adorable, and I love those heels! Lovely outfit :)
ReplyDeleteAahh, I love the title of this post! My favorite Shakespeare sonnet. ♥
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so cute! I'm always hesitant about altering vintage pieces...but I think, like you said, that if it means you'll wear it more often in the long run, then you should go for it.

What a delightful dress! A lace trim at the hem might be a cute way to add a few inches?
ReplyDeleteLove those tights on you and very inspired to wear my own pair of grey tights. :) You look very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute! REally really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe dress look great on you. Like the mini lenth too :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little dress. I definitely don't think it's too short on you - especially with the cool gray tights. I love those shoes you have on too! You've been wearing them a lot lately and they always look great.
