Hooray! The weeks are just flying by. Not sure if I'm very pleased that my life seems to be uneventfully zipping past me, but today I'm just happy that it's Friday and the sun is shining!

(dress: thrifted; shoes: seychelles)

Keeping it simple today with another favorite dress that may be on its last legs (threads?). This was an early vintage purchase of mine and I gave it to my friend S at one point because I didn't find the dropwaist particularly flattering. But then I decided that it was too awesome. And I requested that she give it back to me :) There are a couple of small holes on the back, and one of them seems to be getting bigger. I'm not sure how to repair or if it's even possible. The fabric is really light, probably polyester. I feel like I just need to be able to fuse the fibers together somehow, but that'd be magic.

My hair was inspired by the mod spread in Vogue this month, and although my bangs aren't quite long enough to bobbypin to the side, I did wrap a couple of strands around my ponytail! It's all about inspiration, right? Not imitation.

As for the weekend, I'll be a bit of a busy bee. Still not sure what we're going to get ourselves up to this evening but it probably won't be terribly exciting... maybe a movie, maybe some nachos, maybe not. I'm craving spicy food and mindless entertainment. You?

  4. TGIF indeed. I even work tomorrow but still feel sooo happy it's friday.
    I love your dress, it's a really pretty colour and fabric, I have a few dresses that I don't necessarily like the fit but the print/fabric are too amazing.
    You make me wish I was growing my hair out still instead of cutting some of it off. Gorgeous!

  5. I too am very pleased it's friday. Gorgeous dress. I hate it when favourite items start to wear like that. Don't know if it'll help but you can buy 'invisible' mending strips which are basically glue which you can iron on. They had them in my old sewing shop.

  6. Eeee, I love the yellow nailpolish. I once asked a friend for something back after I'd given it to her, but she'd donated it in the meantime. Sooo annoying. Good luck working that magic; and have a good weekend!

  7. I am happy for Friday too. Your night of nachos and a movie sounds about like mine except replace the nachos for Thai food. :)

  8. i love this dress on you! i think drop waists are really hit or miss depending on your shape. on me, they look fine since i don't really have a lot of curves.

    my weekend: sleep, buying plants for my garden, maybe seeing that movie with ginnifer goodwin! ah! i love weekends!

  9. What a cute dress! Too bad it's falling apart. At least you gave it a good home for the end of its little dress life, right? Mmmm nachos and movie night! Two of my favorite things.

  12. O my gosh I wish that dress was mine. It looks lovely on you, anyhow. It really flatters your skin tone.
