Dress: Vintage 1960s
Heels: Elie Tahari "Yvonne"
Purse: Vintage
Earrings: thanks to INPINK {similar here}
I'm so excited to present my first ever Week Of Vintage! What does this mean? I will have a post for you everyday this week featuring vintage clothing and/or accessories, tips, and tutorials! And the blog received a li'l retro makeover for the week, too. How swell! I've always enjoyed fashions and hairstyles from the WWII era, but lately I've taken a liking to '60s and '70s garments and have been expanding my collection to include those decades - perhaps it's since I started watching Pan Am and Madmen.
Today we're starting off with this bright mod floral print dress. This is certainly a statement making dress, so I paired it with neutral heels and purse. I was lucky enough to barter this dress for some hemming services - it originally belonged to my friend's grandmother! It is a little bit too big throughout the shoulders and waist, but cinched with a belt, I don't find it to be much of a problem. I may get around to altering it one day, but for now, I'm fine with the way it is. Readers, what do you think of this wild dress? And if you like my '60s inspired bouffant bun, I made a YouTube tutorial on how to do it - see it here!
Stay tuned - tomorrow we will be talking about minor altering modifications to another mod print dress!

What a great idea Mary Ann! And I don't think the dress is too "wild" (is that because us bloggers become somewhat immune to out-there fashion?) In fact, I think it's gorgeous and the demure cut makes it classic. You look beautiful as always!
