This is one of the very first vintage dresses that I bought. I can't believe it's never made an appearance on the blog before. It's funny how certain dresses have specific memories attached to them. Every time I wear this one, I think of the time Tom and I went to a show at the House of Blues in LA. As we were walking into the venue we passed under a balcony where a bunch of biker dudes were hanging out. One of them was whistling at me to get my attention and against my better judgment I actually turned around to see what he had to say. You can imagine my surprise when he said, "Hey honey, I really like your dress!" So I returned with a "Thank you!" Then of course he followed that up with, "Come on up here so I can play checkers on you!" Ummm... no thanks?
Love your outfit here!!!I've always preffered Jeff Buckleys version of the song.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is amazing!! You look so chic and classic! Great outfit :o)

Hahaha! That's hilarious! At least it was a somewhat clever pick-up line, even if unwanted and creepy.
ReplyDeleteI've always enjoyed the Rufus Wainwright version of the song (yeah, it's from the Shrek soundtrack, but it's really good!). Love your dress. It fits you so well, and the pattern is fantastic!

I can't say thank you enough for all of your commnets!
ReplyDeleteI really like Jeff Buckley's version of that song too but nothing beats Leonard! He's one of my all time favorites. I haven't heard the Wainwright or Cale versions so I'll have to check that out.
How many berets do I have? Probably too many! Ha, ha. Really I only have a handful. One in each color that I wear frequently... black, tan, grey and brown. I just found the brown on at a Goodwill and I'm really excited about it!
Thanks again!
You look amazing! What a beautiful look you have going here :)))
