Where the Sidewalk Ends

June 29th, 2011

Vintage Dress, Free People Sunglasses, Coach Clutch, Pencey Booties

 

After a week of wearing not much more than bikinis and bug spray, a textured dress was a welcomed change. I’ve had this one since last winter (I wore it in this video), but since the pirate-esque sleeves don’t exactly lend themselves to layering, I waited for a cool summer evening to wear it again. I ordered these shoes in hopes that they’d arrive before our trip, but decided that the box waiting by the door upon our return was far more fulfilling. And since I wear these perforated platforms far too often, I’m excited to have a new blush-colored pair that has a great ’70s vibe.

    Love the dress! When you buy vintage, do you end up doing a lot of tailoring, or do you usually luck out with finding things that fit well?

    I absolutely adore those wedges! I have so many pairs of heels but have never really worn any of them! I just can’t seem to take off my moccasins, they’re so comfortable. How do you manage to walk around in heels all day?!
