Dress- 1960s Vintage, via Fancy Fine Vintage:: Bag- 1980s Vintage, via San Francisco Vintage Expo:: Shoes- Thrifted:: Necklace- Vintage, Thrifted:: Tights- Target
This outfit incorporates some of my most beloved pieces in my wardrobe. While I generally wear dresses with a fitted waist, I have been recently drawn towards shift dresses from the 1960s. This frock is particularly special since it reminds me of a relic from the atomic era with a bit of galactic inspiration. The bag, with its subtle Southwestern detailing and braided straps, incorporates a muted color palette that is quite fitting for a rather cold San Francisco Spring. And while I always have had a penchant for costume jewelry, this gold art-deco inspired collar is my favorite piece that I own. I recently found it for $3.00 in a tiny thrift store in Las Vegas. It was tucked behind other oddities deep within a jewelry case, and I giddily purchased the necklace along with a turquoise sterling silver bracelet and a Donovan record. For other thrifting connoisseurs, Las Vegas has some of the best thrifting in the West. I can't wait to return for more goodies in late summer.
wwooooooah! That dress is so cool. I was just having a freakout in my room last night, wanting to throw out all of my fitted, floral dresses in favor of geometric / mod stuff like this...
Sterling was all "what's your problem?" and I was like "I'd rather be cool than be pretty!" and he was all "you need to go to bed."
You mix such great colours together, the tights are great and I love the bag, details, tapestry, colours. I think mad men is making me want more shift dresses maybe based on Meghan Draper's wardrobe.
This shift dress is so awesome! I've been feeling quite 60's inspired lately, so I'd love to have one like it. The print is so cool. I really enjoy your necklace with it.
YOu look lovely! I especially love the shift dress. I love dresses from the 1960s! I kinda wish I had been born back them to indulge in those pretty fashions and all that good music.
Another fantastic 60s dress! Love the necklace too. I'm curious to know where you got it--I live in Las Vegas, and I have the worst luck at the thrift stores out here. I usually just wind up at Buffalo Exchange. :)
According to my friend, very Southern California is ALSO a great place. You're making me want to take a trip to Vegas just to thrift, though. (It's okay because it's cheaper than gambling, right?)
ANYway. I love this muted ensemble with the KILLER shift dress. You look amazing. (:
I've noticed you do a 60's shift well. That necklace is amazing;I don't suppose you would consider a post on your Las Vegas thrifting experiences? I'm going to be there in early July, and would love a wee Vegas shopping guide.Last time I was there, I didn't have enough time to explore past The Attic and a thrift store down the road from it;this tinme I'll have a few days...:)
LOVE this dress on you! and your shoes are just perfect - shape, color, and texture. and i love the mixing of that western bag. great thrift finds, i'm jealous!

Just lovely! I love the fitted waist usually too, but sometimes a shift dress just does the trick to comfy and stylish!
