Perfectly Aged Wine


This dress makes me feel like I waltzed right out of the 1940's. I even considered trying to figure out how to do liberty rolls in my hair (I'll save that for another day though!). The perfect wine color, the thin and wooshy fabric... it's just so pretty! I kept it simple with black pump-style wedges, a quilted bag and my "Pilgrim" belt (heh!). They fit so perfectly with the black buttons. I'm not usually one to wear longer dresses like this (they're so hard to find!) but I'm so into this one. It also has a teensy lil' collar! And it definitely shows my "womanly curves"... Hello hips! ;) haha I do really dig this dress though.

  3. Oh my gosh you look perfectly adorable! this dress is so perfect! I am so on the modest side of skirt length & love where this one falls. The color looks gorgeous on you!

    I have a bright blue vintage-ish dress like this with long sleeves but now that I've seen yours I may take my sleeves up a bit.

    happy Monday!

  4. That dress is absolute perfection on you. And by itself. But especially on you!

    I love dresses that show off curves too! It's something to be truly proud of, in my opinion.

    And the wine color. <3 Lovely, lovely, lovely!

    You accessorized SO well!

  10. I'm short so I always tried to wear dresses above the knee so I'd at least appear an inch or so taller but I've found myself loving longer skirts and dresses. Like you said they are hard to find so I've been on the look out for them.

    This is a really cute look and I love the classic take one it :)

  16. The name of this dress is all noted down. I hope it looked so good on me! The bag is super-cute and the dress has a precious color. Also the shoes are a perfect match, how high are they? Ah, and if I ever see you I will steal your belt. Well I'd steal so many things from you... It's a pity you can't steal style ;) Have fun at the flea market and tell us about it! :)

  19. Oh my lordy. I love that dress so much that I basically would snatch it off of you. Ok, I wouldn't because then you would be left naked and sad, but it's STILL so lovely! =)

    Have a great day!

  36. Love this dress so much! Although..."midi" length? It does seem from Modcloth (where I do most of my dress browsing) that anything knee-length is unusual these days, but I didn't think knee-length was terribly long/modest. Maybe you are just taller than I thought?!

    Also I just have to say how much I LOVE the tattoos on your shins. Gorgeous drawing style.

  37. @ Jenny O: I'm not sure i follow the question exactly hehe could be because I just woke up. it's a midi length dress (so says the Motel Rocks website), but i'm only 5'2 if that gives you any indication of length :) I thought it was really short for a midi dress and i'm short myself. it'd probably skim the middle/bottom of knees for anyone above 5'5 :) <3
