I Rock a Lot of Florals


Like Jess from New Girl, I really do rock a lot of polka dots.  But, I realized today, as I wore my newest floral vintage dress, that I also rock a lot of florals:



This dress is one of the first items I Pinned once I figured out what the heck Pinning was.  It’s from the House of Heirlooms Etsy shop and I knew it would someday be mine.  For the inaugural wearing, I cinched the dress (vintage Donna Toran) with a black leather belt (thrifted) and added my ankle-tie espadrilles (Nordstrom).   And I loved it.  I love that it’s bright, shiny and colorful.  Oh, and floral.  Because, in case you hadn’t noticed, I rock a lot of florals.

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

  4. I rarely wear patterned dresses but if I did, that dress would be it. It's so, so cute. And the dress's colors look great with the black accents.

  8. I thought of you while I was in Minneapolis, Gracey! I was shopping at Blacklist Vintage, one of the first dedicated vintage stores I'd ever been to, and with the dresses I kept flipping through them and thinking, "Gracey. Gracey. Gracey. Yup, these are all Gracey." So many cool florals and 80s patterns that looked Gracey-tastic. Of course, I stopped short of actually getting you anything, but it's the thought that counts, right?

  12. Ever since I saw that episode I've been wanting to title one of my blog posts "I rock a lot of polka dots"!

    That dress is pretty! I bet it would look great in the fall with a cardigan and tights and boots.
