I don't wear a lot of these straight-up vintage dresses anymore, but these warm springy February days just seem to scream out for them! This sweet little violet number was purchased in Austin, Texas several years ago (here I am wearing it in 2009!). I fell in love with the big peter-pan collar and the subtle tribal print, the latter of which makes it kinda perfect for this day and age considering the tribal craze going on! All the more reason to give this dress another outing in the sun. I try to keep from being too costume-y by pairing it with my ole faithful lace-up military boots.
These kinds of dresses exist for simplicity; throw them on with a ribbon for a belt and you are well outfitted for lunch dates with lovely sisters and mothers. These photos were taken right outside of Leon's Full Service in Down Town Decatur. Eat their french fries. Right now. Do it.

I love this vintage look on you!
Not costumey at all for sure, I really like it.
You look so lovely in this dress, and the little vintage purse is so cute.
Have a lovely weekend, gorgeous.

So very sweet, I love it! I always balk at wearing such dresses, mostly because I really think I look like I'm playing dress-up... I'm too damn little, haha.
Beautiful look! =D

The ribbon is a great idea. The cur of this dress is gorgeous-- I love the nipped-in waist and cute little collar.
I'm an avid fan of vintage style, I'm glad you wear the dress than to just keep it in the closet!
