Yes I have spring on my mind – around here it’s been cold, then warm, then 70, then snowing. I’m ready for spring and sunshine! And then I saw this adorable dress and it is just what I had in mind 🙂

The color is great – prettier than lime green, not as dark as kelly. Very flattering and easy to wear. And the A-line cut is classic and new at the same time. I’d wear this with a fabulous pair of earrings (wouldn’t even have to be made with stones from my shop, like these peridot sparklies although of course they’d be wonderful) – but anyway, something big and sassy. And a great pair of strappy high heel sandals – or, well, flipflops! This dress is not Fancy – it’s just got good detailing. You don’t need to do a lot of Stuff to wear it.

Bright red lipstick, though.

I found this darling garment at Life on Mars Vintage which, BTW, the name is so great you should go there just because. But DB, the shop owner, really has such terrific items there, you need to go see, like, right away. Trust me.

(And another thing – the sky blue drapey dress? If it was near my size I would grab it – and maybe would take the sleeves off – but then it would be an absolute STAR. Just sayin!)

Vintage is just the best, you know? So I’m not going to tell you – I’m going to show you. This vintage wiggle dress is so fabulous!

Now I really don’t have to say anything else, because you can see for yourself. But just to mention a few things that occurred to me? This is a year-round dress, for one thing. Add a cardigan or jacket and it’s great for work, winter or summer (you know how cold AC can be). And of course it’s great for date night or church – it’s modest but kinda sexy too.

And! See how good it looks with only a pair of earrings for accessories? Talk about easy! But you could glam it up or down any way you want. And wear it with stilettos or flipflops. This is what clothes are supposed to be – goodlooking, easy to wear, easy to make YOU look good.

I found it in a darling boutique on Etsy, Joules Jewels Vintage. The owner/curator Jillian has a great eye – and some great finds. And did I mention affordable prices? Yes. Go there. You’ll thank me!
