TRUE STORY: I love dance parties. In fact, I rather wish that my regular life was a non-stop dance party, all the time.
(dress: thrifted j crew; shoes: simply vera for kohl's; trench coat: h&m)
I always think of dance parties when I wear this dress because I wore it to my first real hipster dance party in college and there were plenty of incriminating photos of me mid-dance move so that's how I will always imagine myself in it. I wore it a lot back then, though oddly enough I don't think it has ever made an appearance on my blog! It was also my very first thrift/(vintage?) purchase. The tag says J Crew and I assume it's probably only from the nineties or something, but it has a definite sixties vibe (in my opinion), especially with bouffant hair and winged black eyeliner.
Also, this nail polish is a big fail. I grabbed it at the drug store because it was a pale pastel yellow in the bottle, but it actually looks much more like lemon meringue than banana cream. Oh well, it was like $1.50. I kind of like it anyway--after all, yellow is my favorite color!
60's dancing babe! i love that dress and your hair. Good look lady

Cute dance moves!! Great post, hair and outfit! XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute little dress and I love the shoes! Aren't dance parties the best?
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a '60s vibe going on today! I really love your hair like that!
ReplyDeleteYou'd fit right in at a mod party in that dress! Its so fun! I love these photos, they add some umph to the typical outfit posts.
ReplyDeleteLooove that dress, the stripes are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI often wish that my life were a big dance party too ;) Or a musical! Haha!
M xo
Here's to people whose favourite colour is yellow! (that would be me and you then) ; )
ReplyDeleteI can't think why this dress hasn't been on the blog before. It looks totally 60s (I assumed it was) and is simply the perfect thing for dancing in. And you look great in those colours!
Also, anime is so not my thing either. Really, I only like about 1% of comics/graphic novels. I can only get behind them if I like the drawings as well as the stories, and I seldom do.
love your dancing moves. so fun. your hairdo is gorgeous as well.

You love dance parties??! I love dance parties! Unfortunalty I dont have many friends in CT that like to boogie so I am forced to dance by myself in my living room with the XBox Kinect. Boring. Cute dress.
ReplyDeleteLove the retro feel to that dress.

cute dress and hair, you look so retro 60s and i love it
ReplyDeleteI want to transport to a world where everything can be a dance party at any point, you just have to stand up and start dancing, and the music and disco balls just appear as needed! Sigh, alas and alack, etc. I really love your whole look here, totally '60s and adorable. It's also your fault that I'm currently DYING for a trench coat.
ReplyDeleteword. i am in TOTAL agreement about life being a dance party. if only! i definitely get the 60's vibe from the pattern and colors on this dress, very cute!
ReplyDeletealso, it looks so warm in VT. jealous!
Haha I love this! I totally remember that dress from college - recognized it right away! Also, I love your hair! How did you give it so much volume at the top? Do tell.
ReplyDeleteI love this entire look! Your hair is so cute! And dance parties are always great!!
