The dress is 70's, but the shape and the collar does give it a bit of a wartime feel. I very rarely wear red because of my hair, but I thought this dress called for it so I went and raided Primarni to find a cardi. I'd check the shop I bought the dress from out if you're in the UK and in to vintage as she's got some lovely bits and bobs up there - this was only £18! Alright, still quite expensive for something that someone probably died in, but whatever.
You look elegant yet kickass :D
ReplyDeletenot at dinner lady like, naughty dad. it looks very classic pin up from the 40s xx
ReplyDeletelook simple and classic....:)
ReplyDeleteYou do that vintage look so well. I love the whole look. :)
ReplyDeleteI really dig the purple color of the dress!
ReplyDeleteWahhh Y U have such good style? D:
ReplyDeleteYou look bloody gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You look gorgeous! Very classy and your hair is just amazing with the colour on the dress!
ReplyDeleteRed look AMAZING with your hair. Fact.
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOOVE it!! The red cardi really makes it a wow outfit. I dig your style in general, you pull of the classic/vintage look so effortlessly. I know it is not suited to me but I admire those who wear it so well! <3
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable. That is all. *steals dress*
ReplyDeleteYeah but a FIT dinner lady, like on a cruise liner in a black and white fourties movie, and then they put down the soup ladle and start dancing about to some cool Andrews Sisters tune. And is the hair darker too? I think what I am trying to say is you look very nice. x
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome in that outfit! Lol at someone probably dying in it, I always think that about second-hand/vintage stuff, but whatevs :p
ReplyDeletecat eyes are the best!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. The sweater is such a good touch :)
ReplyDeleteMy first thought: SEXY LIBRARIAN FROM THE FIFTIE'S WHO MOONLIGHTS AS A WAITRESS. >___>
ReplyDeleteBUT... that isn't a bad thing. I luff it. <3
I love it, it's very "I Love Lucy"
ReplyDeletelove the OOTD and the LOTD
ReplyDeleteOh God this is stunning! I absolutely love it. It does seem wartime-ish. Much more pin-up than dinner lady :P
ReplyDeleteHot damn, woman! Someone should make an emoticon for that cartoon wolf whistling with the bulging eyes. (Or I could go find a gif of it, but I'm lazy.)
ReplyDeleteOMG! You do look very wartime pinup, I LOVE IT! Also, pairing the red cardi with the dress = brilliant. You have such an awesome sense of style.
ReplyDeleteDads sure do make the most useful comments about fashion. My dad always used to say "Where's the rest of that outfit?" whenever I was wearing anything less than coveralls, lol!
