Hiya! Did y'all have a lovely weekend? Things were pretty low key here. We did super exciting things like go to Lowe's to buy new paint for our stairway (we aren't happy with the color we picked originally) and pick out a rug for our hallway. It was pretty much all house related stuff. While we were at the rug store I sort of fell in love with an 1860s handwoven rug until I realized it cost $13,500! Yowza!
This dress is one of my favorites hanging in my closet. It is an Etsy find and in such wonderful condition considering it's nearly 80 years old. Most of the dresses I've found from that era feature some sort of floral print so I love the abstract sea-urchiny print of this one. I've also been looking for a way to wear this hat ever since I thrifted it a couple of months ago. It's getting to be that time of year when I have to give up my wool berets. It hurts a little bit, I must admit. ;)

Gorgeous outfit, love the delicate print of the dress. x
That dress is super lovely! But the thing I love the most is the hat! I thrifted a navy colored wide brimmed velvet hat a while ago and cannot decide whether to keep or to sell it because I don't really know how to wear it but this really gives me lots of inspiration :)
the dress is awesome!!! good find!
The hat tops off the outfit really nicely! (no pun intended) That last picture is amazing too, like a ghost on a summer day.

That is a magnificent hat.
LOVE neko case. LOVE the dress.
i always enjoy your blog!
I have an identical belt that is probably the most worn thing in my closet, goes with every summer dress I own. That is a neat print, I gotta say. Hope you are having a good one and enjoying the sun!
I love that last photo.. and that dress is so pretty!
Neko case has been my favorite for a long time! As much as I love the new pornographers I think I like her solo work more.
That last photo is gorgeous! as well as your outfit.
Gorgeous outfit! I love the dress.
(I also love that Neko Case song, though I think "Blacklisted" is my favourite record of hers.)
Love the dress! I never would have guessed it was 70 years old... It looks to be in such good condition! I love it with the hat, especially.
i am completely in love with the last photo!
i cannot believe that dress is from the 1930s! it's beautiful and in such good condition!
this is so beautiful, i love the felted hat and your cute shoes. i think you also picked the best time of day to photograph your outfit, the golden hour to match that paint peeling door. nice nice nice
You are gorgeous in the floppy hat or in a beret if that eases the adjustment.
Happy Monday,

Love this outfit!
the last photo is so hauntingly beautiful ... one uber talented photographer you've got there ... might want to keep him ;)
stunning dress
the style of the pics with that dress work perfectly, trés trés jolie
I think your hat fits in just right nicely here. And the lovely print and collar details on this dress are magnificent too!
mmm looove that song
Beautiful! I can't wear wool hats though. They give me the EBGB's. ;)
incredible incredible dress...I love it. And a Neko Case post title to boot. love it all! Hope the new paint color works out.
so cute!

That dress is stunning. Literally, I am swooning. I have one 30s dress with an amazing print that I would wear everyday if I could. Congrats on the great score. It looks beautiful on you!

Such an elegant dress--you always wear 30s dresses so well! The hat is really interesting. I think it works!
You always look so classy.
Superb outfits and photos.
