Vintage white





Nothing beats the hand-stitched lines of a vintage dress or the ornate buttons that close in the front. Whenever I come across one of these finds in a local store I always feel like I've happened upon something that no one else will ever have. After an impromptu day of vintage dress up I came across one of these illusive dresses and was lucky enough to have two friends surprise me with it on my birthday. The rhinestone buttons, high collar, and heavy white fabric feel so special, while the cut makes it simple and unfussy. Paired with some classic red nails and spotted tights the outfit left me feeling completely polished and unique.

  5. I absolutely love the dress. It is so chic and tasteful - but is it possible to love the tights just as much? I'm a sucker for a polka dot!

  9. How sweet of your friends! Great outfit - especially the tights! I just had a pair that were very similar, but they somehow acquired a HUGE run in them...sad day. :(
