This dress I call, 'Orange Blossom' is probably one of the cheapest dresses I have. I bought it in a small vintage store in Harajuku, Tokyo. It was probably about 10 dollars. A true smart buy! Sometimes price doesn't mean anything, specially when buying vintage!
It's now my basic vintage dress. It's so comfy, yet girly and pretty. I can wear it to anywhere. I can make it look effortless so easily.
So, I wear it with my Alannah Hill white lace tights and as you know my leather ankle boots. I think the white floral lace pattern goes well white lace tights.
If it's sunny I'd put my heart shaped black sunnies on.
I like vintage but I don't like to wear all the way vintage. I love mixing vintage with current trends or something of another era. Also, I like having my hair down like a wild rock'n roll girl with my proper ladylike vintage dress. Because you know, in the 50's they would have their up, in a perfect bun with this kind of dresses. And they'd have matching bags and shoes, everything 'perfect' and matched. Too perfect is boring.
Too ladylike is boring for me. So I named this shoot 'Vintage & Raw'.
If you like vintage pieces like I do, I'd advise you to mix it with different styles and raw it up well.
Also, pay attention to the details of your vintage piece, so you don't over do it.
For example this dress has pearls on the neck, I don't need any earrings or necklace, perhaps I'd only wear a little pearl ring.
Lots of love,
XOXO
