Anatomy of an Outfit: Vintage Dress

A new friend of mine owns a sweet vintage boutique called Mister Rabbit. It's in a small historical bungalow with a kitchen and a claw foot tub filled with vintage pillows. Basically, my dream office. I've taken to bringing a bottle of wine to the shop towards closing time on Fridays. Usually, three of us girls will split the bottle (or two) and unwind from the week while saying hello to the weekend.

And you know when you drink even just a little that your will power becomes zero? Or is that just me? Well, when that happens in a store full of vintage clothes and hand crafted goods I start shopping. Between saucy stories and scandalous tales I'm seeing if I can squeeze my feet into size 7.5 knee-high lace up hippie boots (I'm a size 8).

And when I saw this dress hanging on the wall the power of persuasion was just too much and I had to have it. While I don't shop too terribly much anymore supporting local and buying vintage is the way to go.

Dress: Zip & Dash by Sears (Vintage)
Shoes: Gold T-straps from Urban Outfitters
Pearls: Costume vintage from Grandma
Gold Rose Necklace: Comstume vintage from Estate sale
Bracelets: Assortment, Forever 21
