Easter Blues

I found the most beautiful dress for Easter this year from WhenDecadesCollide! It's a 1950s dress by R and K Originals(my favorite brand!) I've started collecting R and K dresses... when I told my husband I'd like to own every dress they designed from 1955-1963 someday he got a little pale(; Hope everyone had a lovely Easter despite the rain! I wanted to take photos yesterday and the weather didn't permit but I just had to commit this lovely dress to film so I put it back on this afternoon(which was not hard to do! This dress makes me feel amazing).

Dress: When Decades Collide

Earrings: 50s porcelain from an estate sale

Three Coins in the Fountain

In December I entered an Instagram giveaway for a free vintage dress of my choice hosted by Sara of Cheshire Vintage and I actually won! I couldn't believe it! This is the dress I chose: I am so in love with this dress! It suits my personal style perfectly and fits me like a dream. Thank you Sara!!

A  while back I did a blog post on wearing vintage in a modern era and I think this is a great example of how I feel vintage can be modernized: I paired a vintage dress with a clean and simple 1960s handbag and modern shoes and sunglasses. I didn't use any jewelry or other accessories to keep the look from going costume-y.

Wonderful photos taken by my sweet husband.

Retro Betty

I'm still trying to find the perfect balance of vintage and modern in my style but I feel like I'm finally in a place that I feel comfortable with. A complete head to toe vintage outfit is beautiful and some girls dress like that on a daily basis and love it. To you girls, keep it up! I just don't normally feel comfortable dressing like that so I mix vintage and modern together. Generally, I either wear a vintage dress with modern shoes and accessories or vice versa. I'm busy photographing a bunch of new pieces for my etsy shop so I decided to take advantage of my backdrop and do a little photo shoot of my own! In news, I'll be selling at a vintage trunk show downtown for First Fridays in April and I am so excited! Stay tuned for more details.
