And This Evening I Have A Dream

outfit
Dream Shop vintage-inspired tea dress / Off-white Chrysalis pumps / Vintage purse from my nana

This is what I wore today - for a little dinner outside the house. Something simple and sweet, with a beautiful 60s-inspired dress from Dream Shop. I love the color and all of its little floral prints, a very feminine look in a simple way (I like when my outfit seemed modest - with a taste). The reason why I choose to style myself this way are : a) I'm not good at layering, and b) my mom always said that pretty dress already speak of its own majesty without needing too much efforts from the person. So being a total opportunist I also decide to pick an easy series of accessories that has similar tones - in pale off-white shades - from the necklace, goes to the belt, and ended with a purse. My very precious find while wandering around my grandmother's closet! It was from the 1950s when my grandma was on her early teenage spirit ("We used to bring such purse everywhere, even for the disco!" - she said). Everything seems perfectly romantic back then on my grandmother's terms. I've told you I should've born 47 years ago!

P.S.: There are still some days left for joining the Auburn and Ginger giveaway here! And for the braids, I'll post the tutorial tomorrow. See you soon! :)
