I'd thought the Big Cardboard Box of Vintage Stuff in my basement had been depleted. Apparently not... I found this yesterday and immediately started freaking out.
Bought by my grandmother at Lake Erie in 1964. It's perfect.
I got all excited and did that trippy 60s makeup with the line around your socket and white underneath. Pity I have no false lashes...
I convinced my dad to drive to a nearby railway and snap some photos — thank you, Dad!
dress and yellow bracelet: vintage // socks: Target // shoes: thrifted // peacoat: Forever 21 // clutch: vintage (probably also my grandmother's, from the fifties I think)
A little loose in the waist and hips, but who cares? It totally made my day.
xoxo, lovelies!
PS: I was featured here. Fun blog to see other teen's outfits from the world over!
I have ALWAYS loved vintage. I am 30 and used to go to vintage stores when I was only 14 and 15 before people were really doing it and people LOVED to make fun of me for it. But I have always been unique in my clothing and my small town in TN was VERY behind that I knew lol. Love your style and always stay true to it.
ReplyDeletelove it Olivia!!! You are sooo fortunate to have that amazing vintage box to peruse. :)

Beautiful dress! I don't know whether Topshop in America has as good stock as here, but they're selling a gorgeous sixties-inspired dress with little white daises sewn on in floppy silk. It's really textured and looks gorgeous, and reminds me of this dress.
ReplyDeletegorgeous. I need a big cardboard box of vintage stuff ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is such a beautiful dress. You look great in it! :D I just discovering this blog and I am LOVING it. I can't stop smiling. :D
ReplyDeleteYou have such a pretty smile. :) I don't think the dress looks too loose. It looks really nice on you. Choosing the railroad for the shoot is totally awesome! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteOlivia, you are probably the ONLY person I know who can take something vintage (in your case something from the 1960's) and make it actually look cute and stylish.
ReplyDeleteThe red knee high socks? Love them. :)
