Sunday's flea market did not turn up the brass buttons I was searching for, however, I did not walk away empty handed.
Every time I go to the flea market I head straight for the same spot - a clothing stand run by Brittney, one of the designers behind the line
Fremont. Some how she has always managed to compile a collection of the most amazing vintage dresses. I had limited myself to only looking for fall/winter pieces (otherwise, I'm just tempted by
everything). I really lucked out because tucked in between lots of cute little sundresses, I found these two...
The first is a wool mini dress with pleats and brass buttons down the front (OK, so I did buy some brass buttons after all). I'm always a sucker for these kinds of details on a dress. It's also fully lined and has pockets. Pockets!
Next I found this 70's mini dress with a paisley print (looks like it used to be long but has been altered). I love the fall colors and long sleeves. I can't wait to wear this one with tights and boots.

Hi! I love the Fairfax flea market and I too have my usual favorite vendors. I'm trying to figure out which vendor you're talking about. Is Brittney a really petite, super cute Vietnamese girl? I've seen a vendor like this with super cute vintage dresses that have been altered ( i suspect to fit a super petite, super cute Vietnamese girl). I love your blot, btw! I just found it.
Hi Monelle - thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the blog. Well, I thought I was being pretty vague about the flea market stand - I can't give away all my shopping secrets you know. But sounds like you've totally busted me.
hello!
i love your blog and you have a very delicate fashion-taste!
