Today's topic: Vintage.
First item: I am attending a vintage gala event at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on Thursday night, and I am sooooooo unbelievably excited! I don't know what I'm most excited for -- the beautific art galleries, vintage fashion show, photobooth, or hundreds of other vintage lovers.
Or maybe in all honesty I'm just excited to have somewhere to dress all-out retro...the only problem will be choosing just one outfit to wear.
And secondly item: these dresses from ASOS...there can't possibly be another place out there that offers such cheap "knock-off vintage"! For YEARS, I have been looking for somewhere to buy 40s-50s style dresses for dirt cheap prices...and I think I finally found it. My only complaint with the dress below is that it was supposed to be red -- aaaaaand it's actually orange. Blah. Any dyeing tips for me?!

you look so cute! that dress is a perfect rich warm color! xx
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the gala event, I definitely understand how exciting the prospect is of being able to wear full out vintage and not get skew looks from strangers!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous, it's a pity it isn't the color you wanted it to be though.
ReplyDeleteI will admit I love orange!! Red is good too though :) Hair is looking good - she did a great cut! X
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry it's the wrong color. I've dyed a lot of things with Rit and I personally wouldn't reccomend dyeing it that way. It's easier to dye smaller things, but a dress this new with so much fabric - it's very hard to get an even coverage. Maybe a professional could dye it??
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the color looks great on you - you can rock those warm tones!

A vintage gala is right up your alley! I can't wait to see what outfit you wear!

Oh I would LOVE to attend a vintage gala- that sounds just marvelous! I would have a hard time deciding what to wear too...how fun. This is such a darling dress! Bummer that it wasn't the color you expected, but I think this is a great color anyway :) The neutral cardigan is so pretty too! I love the texture of it. Have a blessed day darling!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this dress - I am sorry it isn't the color you had hoped it would be! I think it still looks lovely on you! I have yet to buy anything from ASOS but I'd like to at some point!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was able to go to that event at the MIA on Thursday, I was so excited when I heard about it and then it turned out I had something else going on - I'll be anxious to hear all about it when I see you on Saturday!
love your cardigan over that dress and the pretty snow!

I really love the color of your dress, but if you do want to dye it, I know October Rebel dyes her clothes often. Your hair looks amazing, too! I can't wait to hear about your night at the vintage gala!

You do vintage looks so well! I love the pretty dress and cardigan. There have been a few times where I've bought something from Asos and it hasn't been the color I thought it was, but I'm too much of a wimp to try dyeing my clothes :)
ReplyDeleteThat sweater and dress look so pretty on you. The colors really compliment one another.
