You made me think I have a couple yards of a fabric really similar to the one used for this dress...these sewing classes are really changing my perspectives!

Mustard is such a good color, and you are one of the lucky girls who always looks great in a hat. (I'm not, unfortunately!)

You are endless inspiration!--in scenery and outfits. What a brilliant mustard shift dress. I also love your collection of wool berets. :}

I love that song! You inspire me to wear more hats. You always look so good in them, and while I can't pull it off all the time, you make me want to try. And your boots...love.

The dress is just gorgeous! and autumn looks like so much fun to me. I never experienced it like that. The leaves are just great. I usually try to find a nice place to take pictures (fields, etc.) But there are nuisances that stop me from doing so (dog poo, sludge from the rain, etc.). Its always nice to see yours though, they brighten up my day :)

i always wonder, do you have to alter your clothes after you find them? every vintage item you wear fits you so perfectly.

great color play... I don't wear a lot of yellow, but it really sets off the leaves.

The color and the style of this outfit look perfect for fall season. I love your boots and it matches with the color of your bag, your belt and your hat.

I love the color of this dress. Way back when, I had a dress of this color in a sixties baby doll style and wore it to see Tito Puente.
I have no idea where it is now!
