Little House On The Prairie

Finally, the debut of my third colorful vintage dress! Check out the other ones here and here. Which one's your fave? :-) I can't pick, I love all of them equally! the colors, the silhouettes, the VINTAGENESS, gah!




Now, this outfit is SLIGHTLY out of my usual style. Not noticably so, but usually I go for 50s-60s-70s outfits, while this one does fit the 70s look but in a way that was already retro inspired back in the 70s if you catch my drift. Sorta 70s does Little House on the Prairie, right? :-D LUVZ IT.


Admit it, I could totally be sitting there with those bright faced kids in my dress.
I used to love those kind of shows. Anyone used to watch Snowy River: the McGregor saga?? Australian settlers, including Guy Pearce and Josh Lucas who were absolutely hot. Guy Pearce was the good guy, Josh was the bad guy, guess which one I thought was the hottest?

ok he looks kinda gross in this pic but trust me, he was hot!

Anyway, I modernized the dowdy (I'm totally into dowdy these days) dress with espadrilles and a polkadot belt, but kept the country feel with the straw bag. Kinda love how sweet all of this looks. I've really been feeling ultra soft looks lately, not a rough edge in sight. Am I overcompensating for my prickly demeanor (teehee) or is it just my true colors showing? ;-) 

I've got my first exam this wednesday and I'm totally procrastinating and chilling so I really need to do SOMETHING now, or I'll feel like more of a slacker than I already am.


dress: T2 vintage
espadrilles: River Island
bag: Pimkie
belt: came with another T2 dress
ring: Alex Monroe

PS: I've been trying out some new hairstyles and I'll be posting the first one tomorrow! I really should do a video tutorial but I suck at video editing and shooting  and I put my hairstyles together in the most random, messy ways so I would just advise everyone to try it out and don't be afraid to experiment! Haha look at me rambling on while I haven't even shown you the hair yet. Well, you'll have to wait and see! Hint: milkmaid braids... ;-)

PPS: can someone buy me these please?
 Get them at River Island. So Chanel!

    Mmm hmm, this one is my fave. I love the cornflower blue and it's so wonderfully summery.

    Ik vind de gele heel erg leuk maar DEZE is voor mij de winnaar! Het babyblauw, het zachte streepjesmotief, de kleine knoopjes en als kers op de taart het lieve kraagje... ahh! De kleur staat je trouwens héél erg goed!

    Woensdag eerste examen.. Lots of succes & in de namiddag wacht je een mooie beloning in de River island ;-) x!

    I love this one! But I also loved the yellow one, so I don't know! And hehe, I always think my girly style makes up a bit for my basically evil personality. As my boyfriend likes to say, "you always seem so sweet..."

    Hehe the title is very fitting for this outfit I think :D It's hard to choose, but I think my favorite would have to be the yellow sundress - the brighter color looks great on you :)

    Before I even read the part about Little House on the Prairie, that's what this dress reminded me of (except a sexier more stylish grownup version!) I also love your nail polish colour- I am wearing a similar colour. I'm a new follower :)

    ooo I adore gingham, it's perfect for summer! The collar of the dress/the smocking on the front makes it look older than the '70s... it reminds me of little dresses they would have worn during the Depression (1930s) in America.

    Perfect accessories too, am envious of that straw bag!

    This dress is so cute! I love the little collar and puffed sleeves. I was obsessed with the Little House the on the Prairie books when I was a kid. I liked to dress up in this long-sleeved, floral Laura Ashley dress and a calico sunbonnet that I had.

    I was so totally obsessed with Little House when I was little, that my mom made me a dress with pinafore that I wore to school. I wanted to be Laura. You are way cuter than I was, let me tell you. I think I wore my outfit with sneakers.
