Retro



So I wore this outfit to church a few weeks back and several ladies (and a few guys) stopped me to say that I looked "like a girl from the 1940's going to a school dance!"  We're just gonna take that as a compliment because that's the only way to take it when someone says you look retro. It's always a good thing.  (unless they say you look like you're from the 80's. That's almost never a good thing...)




Sorry I only have four photos today. It was as cold as Elsa's frozen heart from the beginning to middle of the movie. Very cold, guys. Very cold. 

Dress: made by me; Sweater: J.Crew; Shoes: Vintage; Necklace: BCBG

  2. Love your dress! I have to agree with you that it is never a good thing if you're dressed from the 80s... At my school we had a retro day for our spirit week so I dressed up like a 50s girl with a poodle skirt and everything and one guy asked me why I was dressed like I was from the 1800s and I was just like ".....you are a dumb uninformed person who doesn't know anything..." And then he was like "well you're wearing a collar and a long skirt" and I was just like "...."

    1. You have my full support to flip your hair and walk away from that guy and never talk to him again.

    2. I totally did! And then I took a picture with some friends and posed it on Instagram and then he went and LIKED it (and he rarely ever likes my pictures) and I was just like "noooo I am not taking this as an apology"

  3. Love the tied sweater. Did you make that dress from the McCalls pattern M6745 that you sent me a picture of? Absolute cuteness! :)
