DRRRESSES: WANT

tattoos go really well with sleeveless housedresses imo ... and I just realized I forgot to post to this thread about my LA vacation which was partially spent looking for vintage housedresses. I figured that outside of Florida, LA would have a great selection. Was a bit disappointed tbh but I got a couple gems.

one day I will have tattoos too! But I bought 3 of the same black spandexy pencil skirt a few weeks ago because of my new job (& because I love them), so my wardrobe isn't going anywhere exciting anytime soon.

my LA vacation which was partially spent looking for vintage housedresses
damn that sounds like so much fun
i don't have any tattoos and i think some people expect me to be more square than i am (maybe) but that's their problem

the most noticeable thing about LA vintage stores vs. SF Bay Area ones -- LA stores are so much bigger!

i bet the clothes were really outlandish too -- i love to try on ridiculous costumey things and LA seems perfect for that
i did some thrift shopping in maine and it was pretty great -- i got a shirt + some earrings in belfast and was wowed by the selection in bangor even though i didn't have any room in my luggage :(

i forgot there's a thread for this!

i was gonna ask, do we have a vintage & thrifting thread?

i'm over here in the green section, see you by the hats

thanks!

FB password didn't work for me :(

Bon voyage, blue dress! Have fun in Canada! Enjoy your free healthcare!

tr, did the password you tried end in an e or something else? If something else, replace that with an e.

It works now.

decluttered a yr or so ago, got rid of tons of dresses, but kept a few things i couldn't bear to give to goodwill.

so, posting those on fb now, all mostly unworn, plus a couple of camisoles & a tshirt (new). all women's sizes M or L.

so much stuff i never wear!

ahh I have been so all over the place since we got back from vacation that I have not had a chance to get on here and say CARL! I got the dress and it is beautiful and my exact preferred shade of blue!! :) I have not tried it on yet because my house is a disaster and I almost immediately lost it in a pile of clothes while unpacking but I am going to dig it out this week and possibly wear to a winery* this weekend!

*I really hate wine tasting type activities but sometimes that's what you gotta do on a girls' weekend to be a fun team player type friend

(thank you, Carl!!)

You're so welcome! It would be a good dress to wear to a winery because it's pretty comfortable and uncomplicated so you can get wasted in it without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction.

People would not shut up about how much they loved the dress! I hope you enjoyed my instagram preening, haha. I'll get you back one day! Let me know when Ivy is big enough to wear a women's small tee, because my friend put a Blondie tshirt into a goodwill bag and I snagged it, too sad to let it ride out into the ether

:D

To all of it!

Hey ladies, I got you a dress

The name is ridiculous ;) but to me that really basically is the ultimate dress

that's because you are hot womenposter

true

if it changed color while i was wearing it :D

I'm going to a fancy albeit daytime wedding followed by an evening reception with a sit down dinner in Milwaukee on Labor Day weekend and I'm become deeply enamored with this dress. Appropriate?

i vote yes.

I don't think I can not get it, honestly. Look at it. It's ridiculous and amazing, has pockets, and is on sale.

dresses with pockets are key

God I know. Also I'll be riding in a car from Chicago so something comfortable would be nice, and this fits that bill, too. And it's long enough that I won't feel like I need to wear stockings.

yes vote from me, too

i vote yes but only if you have a somewhat matching hair accessory, otoh i have never been to Milwaukee, a place i imagine where ppl eat ambrosia salad unironically, so

I have no idea about the hair accessories, love the dress, and would like to learn from this by hearing about what kind of shoes should be worn with it.

pretty pretty dress, must get!

I don't know about hair accessories (my hair is really short rn anyway). I have a pair of shoes I planned to wear but I would be very interested in seeing what shoes stylish people would recommend to see if my shoe instinct is anywhere near correct.

you may not have been to Milwaukee, sarahell, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans.

vote yes on the dress! very colorful, i like it.
milwaukee is super cool, ambrosia salad is not otm (maybe other parts of wisconsin but mke is home to some really cool ppl, ppl you would like sarahell!)
shoes? i know you don't like heels (i don't either) but i think you could probably wear whatever slightly dressy shoes you want because the shoes will not be the focal point of your outfit, the print of the dress will. the plainer the better in a situation like that imo.

xp to self, I'm sorry, I always have to do that at any mention of mil-e-wah-kee, that and Delaware. "Hi! I'm in Delaware")

milwaukee is super cool! as is the dress. LL otm re: shoes.

I've visited Milwaukee and loved it. It has a flying art museum (sort of - it has flapping wings), a great market, nice buildings...

I've been to Milwaukee one other time also for a wedding.

I was just in Delaware last week.

I bought the dress btw.
