On our recent trip to New York I ended up buying two vintage dresses. One is the little brown mod shift dress with the lace ruffle collar you saw in the NY photo collage (it's still in my to-sew pile) and this is the other one. Surprisingly enough I found it at one of the many American Apparels that dot the city in their California Select vintage section. I expected to find lots of flashy 80's vintage duds but was quite pleasantly surprised at their selection. I ended up trying on four dresses and felt a bit like Goldilocks. This one's a bit too big, this one's a bit too small and this one is juuuust right. I know that every time I buy a vintage dress I say it's my new favorite dress and once again I'm declaring this my new favorite. With its brown velveteen trim and pockets on the hips, how could I not?

I really like that dress.
How could you not indeed?! So lovely!
i love your very fashion forward look in contrast with the grocery store background. your pictures are always so neat!
Fantasic combo, you really suit the beret, it finishes the outfit off perfectly and the boots keep it current. Perfection !
Oh I really like this one! It looks like it fits like a glove, you do the summer-winter transition so well. If I saw you in the supermarket looking like that, I'd probably stalk you around the isles until I've gotten a good look. I've been known to do that...
Oh, it's all so perfect! I love that dress, and the boots, and the beret... :)
