This may come as a shock to some of you, but I’m not a big person for musicals — for theater in general, actually. I delight in it when I am put in the way of seeing any, but my first impulse when seeking home entertainment is to reach for a book, and my second […]

TOP: Caroline Constas (also love THIS affordable off-the-shoulder top)  |  JEANS: Frame  |  SHOES: Tory Burch  |  HAT: Janessa Leone (old, similar HERE)  |  BAG: Cult Gaia  |  LIP: Giorgio Armani (shade 400) The contemporary collection at Saks is a destination I’m constantly trolling since (a) all of us understand that Saks fifth Avenue is, well, Saks fifth Avenue […]

A recent (and anonymous) commenter posted (on the recent “misconceptions” post) that he or she “could have lived without knowing [I was] an athiest.” Why on earth my religion or lack thereof must matter on a blog about dresses, of all things (it’s not like I’m claiming to be a prophet of anything other than […]

Holly of Lucite Box vintage sent me the link to this dress (for sale at Oasis). I kind of love it, but much more as a witty swimwear coverup than as an actual dress, and it’s certainly on the pricey side for something like that ($60, plus $10 shipping to the US). Plus, you know, […]

Whenever I’m feeling lonesome or exhausted there’s always something I remember. It’s not much, but it doesn’t really take much. She was walking home with him after the campus meeting, and he asked her for a date, for next Friday night. “Wear that dress,” he said. “I like it.” She did wear me, of course […]

Cherie at Shrimpton Couture sent me a link this weekend to a different gown (a wonderful red as well as white seersucker with some excellent piecing … however which is already on layaway, as well as I figured, hey, who needs to be taunted more on a Monday than Monday already taunts people), but, in […]

Here’s one more 9929 that’s undergone some autumnizing (autumnizing is not as drastic as winterizing). Also, I don’t believe you can state “winterizing” when there are flowers clearly visible in the photo behind you … How do I try to make a cotton seersucker gown autumn-appropriate? By adding a cardigan, knee socks, as well as […]

Lisa S. sent me this one, as well as isn’t it gorgeous? I love the bronze-y, milk chocolate color with black dots — so much much easier to wear than just plain bronze, since you can always find black shoes. Bronze, not so much. It’s at Cherry Red Vintage, it’s B36/W28, as well as it’s […]
