Outfit of the Day: True Vintage Weekend

I decided to do something a little bit different this weekend and wore all vintage dresses.



Outfit of the Day:
Friday:
On Friday my husband and I took Tim's mother out for her birthday. I wore this gorgeous true vintage dress I found on ebay. What initially drew me to it was that the print seemed similar to Trashy Diva's Cool Watercolor print. What I loved about it even more when it arrived in the mail was the pseudo necktie detail and the cute vintage button there. This dress even came with a belt! It was pretty yellowed with age when I got it but I gave it a good soak in oxyclean and that made it bright again. Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done for the color fading that also came with it though.

Saturday:
On Saturday Tim and I went to our friend's baby's first birthday party. I wore a vintage butterfly (and moth) skirt I recently found through an ebay sell group. I wore it with a crinoline (my first time wearing one out of the house) and paired it with an old shirt I had from Forever 21 and basic black flats.

Sunday:
On Sunday Tim and I took a trip to the river to go tubing with some friends. While I wore my bathing suit for the tubing part of the day, I threw on a vintage blue with blue polka dot buttoned and collared halter dress. I found this dress on Etsy a few years back and was happy to find the perfect occasion to get it out!

  3. That butterfly skirt looks so great with the petticoat! I don't own a petticoat yet, but I really need to reconsider. That butterfly prints looks so much like your TD butterfly dress print!!
    That polka dot halter dress is too cute! Love the neckline. It looks so nice on you!

    1. Thank you Bristol! Since the butterfly dress is only with me for a while while I've been borrowing it I was so happy to find a butterfly print to keep as my own <3 This was the first time I wore the petticoat out. I have to say, it makes dresses look so lovely but definitely takes some getting used to! ;) And thank you! I love that polka dot halter dress! <3 I don't wear it too often since the back is super open but it is a fun one to wear when I do get to wear it out :D
