Autumn weather has definitely arrived in the Bay Area. The days are still quite warm (as evidenced
by the frigid temperatures in the office thanks to the ridiculous air
conditioning) but the mornings and evenings are very crisp and cool.
So the last few weeks have been the last opportunity to pull
out a few summer dresses that did not get any wear this season.
This is one of those dresses that I have owned since high
school.
It makes me feel a bit like Sandy in Grease. Come to think of it, that movie is probably one of the reasons there are quite a few
1980s does 1950s “vintage” dresses out there. And I love this particular one so very much, I just may have to make my own version one of these days!
Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Colin Stuart
I know it reminds you of Sandy, but I'm seeing Alice in Wonderland! Also, Netflix just added Grease and I've been putting off watching it; I think I'm ready to watch it now.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, Laura, it's just magnificent! One of my very favourite 1980s does 1950s dresses is a strikingly similar shade of vibrant, cheerful blue. It's such a great, skin tone flattering, wonderfully fun colour. Your really look spectacular!!!

Jessica – I actually thought of you when I pulled this dress out of the closet – it reminds me of some of your lovely frocks!
DeleteWhat a beautiful dress! And such a perfect shade of blue. Looks like a crisp blue autumn sky.
ReplyDeleteIt's just amazing that not only you still have clothes from highschool in wearable condition (which tells a lot about the quality) but you can also fit into them... big sigh! because I can't fit into most of mine :-(
ReplyDeleteThe only garments that still fit are roomy around the hips – I would never be able to fit in a pair of old pants (not that I wear very many of those)!
DeleteThis is adorable! I love it!
