cherchez la femme

19 June 2010

I love this dress. I feel like I have been transported back to the 60s (which of course is where I would very much like to be!). I was taking photos for my Trade Me listings (the usual Saturday drill) and decided that I wanted to play dress up even though I will not be leaving the house today. So I paired it with my new sheer polka dot tights and these cute little oxford heels (which you can't really see too well).

I am listening to old records that we found yesterday at the Salvation Army - Dionne Warwick, Connie Francis, Dusty Springfield, Nat King Cole - and wasting away the afternoon all dolled up with nowhere to go - and happy about it!

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

PS. I am currently playing around with my blog template. My boyfriend is going to design it for me! So keep an eye out for various states of change - I'm really excited!

Wearing: 1960s Mod Dress ( RedVelvetArt), Black Sheer Polka Dot Tights (Trade Me), Vintage Black Oxfords (Thrifted)

  2. It's cute isn't it?! No, just bought this dress so definitely not selling it! I love the wallpaper too - my little apartment has floral wallpaper and retro fittings/nooks and crannies right through it - I LOVE it and will be so sad to leave it at the start of next year (we're moving) x

  4. Sweet stuff.. there's definitely something happening with those hair braids, I've seen them on two other blogs very recently! Unfortunately my own follicles refuse to be tamed in this manner...
