dress: River Island - coat, sheer tights: H&M - purse: Primark - flats: Kimchi Blue via Urban Outfitters - sunglasses: Urban outfitters
I LOVE this dress. I love it so much I bought it in no less than 4 versions (white, hummingbird, apple and this one). After being OBSESSED with Mad Men, Mad style and everything slightly Nouvelle Vague and 60s in winter 2010-11, I developed an equally huge love for the retro promdress shape. I envisioned myself strolling the streets dressed in nothing but crisp, feminine dresses and a pair of flats with a big floppy hat to protect my delicate skin against the burning sun, wearing cat eye sunglasses and having my man by my side in cuffed capris and a nautical striped T buying me some gelato. Yes, my style visions can be intricate like that. You can bet your sweet ass I will be living that fantasy out again this summer, so I got major happiness out of wearing my eiffeltower printed black version out again in the first pale spring sunrays last week. MOAR SUN PLZ
This sort of idea.
What do you want to look like this summer? Btw, I have pinterest now, follow me if you like!
I love this dress of yours!
ReplyDeleteAnnabeth, dit is mijn favoriete look van je tot nu toe! Dat jurkje is echt mooi, zeker met die trench! :) Verfijnd bijna. xo
ReplyDeletebijna?? :D haha dankjewel!
ReplyDeletemooi verhaal
ReplyDeleteI looooove the dress! Ik weet echt niet waarom ik altijd engels hier zit te schrijven, lol. Toen ik mad men keek was ik ook instant verliefd op de stijl van de jaren 60 en uiteraar Betty Draper, can you say perfect? Ja de dames daar zien er gewoonweg om door een ringetje te halen, het haar de make-up, de kleren! Geweldig gewoon dat je zo'n jurken hebt gevonden!
ReplyDeleteik ben helemaal weg van alle vrouwen, Betty en Peggy zijn m'n favorieten. Betty voor de droomjurken, Peggy voor de leuke separates en schattige details. Het haar lukt me nog niet helemaal (zoveel moeite!) maar dat houdt het dan modern, vertel ik mezelf :D
ReplyDeletecute dress and aaaaah-mazing purse! you look super fab <3

Awww the apple version is definitely my favourite, even if this one looks spectacular on you! I love this prom dress shape...and that striped dress!! I saw it on etsy a long time ago...oh how I wish it was my size.
ReplyDeleteLife is a romantic poem
Haha jezus je hebt veel jurken. :-D Ze zijn wel prachtig en ze staan echt perfect bij je! Nu wil ik ook ijsjes :-( Alle prints van die jurk zijn wel echt awesome!
ReplyDeleteIk vind vooral je tasje zooo cute! En die jurk, tja, das jou ten voeten uit hé! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuper leuke jurk! Je doet me denken aan Zooey Deschanel in de film "500 days of summer" :-)
ReplyDeletelovelovelove that dress & the sunnies :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about this shape of dress, it is so flattering and very vintage in look. I'm looking forward to Mad Men returning to television at the weekend! I'm envious of this dress and so much more having read that you have them in different colours, you look such a delight though.

Everything about this post is heavenly! I adore the dress, you've styled it so creatively too. I've been keeping an eye for that Primark dress you liked too btw ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, came across your blog at Esme and the Laneway comment section. I LOVE this dress! So very pretty. On my current "to buy" list is a crinoline and now I know why. I love the fullness of the skirt here and the fabric is gorgeous!
