First, the good news.
My friend Kendra, is having a May Day Sale at her Etsy shop, House of Heirlooms. You can get 20% off by
entering the code MAYDAY when you check out.
And you don’t even have to have a Paypal account; Kendra has direct
checkout so you can use your credit or debit card. She also has adorably awesome vintage stuff,
so go check it out.
Now for the less good news; it’s May 1st and I’m
wearing tights. I resisted returning to
tights as long as I could, but it’s only been in the low-50s lately and that’s
still a bit cold for bike riding. However,
it’s not too terrible because they’re
hot pink tights:
I paired my Macys-clearance hot pink tights (Hue) with one
of my several vintage day dresses (thrifted) that got taken up during the Great
Hemming Spree of 2012. I added wedge
booties (Nine West “Peekaboo” via Piperlime), hot pink drop earrings. And my
vintage bracelet (Ray’s Ragtime):
I have to say, I love the cut of this dress, but I also love
how very 80s the white triangles on the black background are. Also?
Pockets:
Speaking of my love for the 80s, 80s prom is in 10
days! I am so excited!! I promise to share pictures of my velvet,
off-the-shoulder dress, but, the lovely Thrifted Shift gave me a fabulous idea
for you guys to share some prom photos too.
If you all (or just a few of you) are interested, I’d like to do a post that includes your
prom pictures as well as mine. I’ll
either figure out how to do a linky-thingy or, and this is more likely, I’ll
have you all send me photos and I’ll post them here.
In summation: Visit House of Heirlooms. Let me know if you want to share prom photos
with me. Have a happy Tuesday.

I adore that dress, Gracey. It fits you so beautifully! And the sleeves are amazing too. And the tights. Well really just the whole outfit is amazing. You look great!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they're pink makes up for having to wear them at least a little! Now, are you talking about sharing photos from our own 80s prom? Or photos from actual-factual high-school prom? (Forgive my confusion--I am easily muddled.)
ReplyDeleteTiny triangles! Also dresses with pockets are the very best invention of all time.
ReplyDeletei adore the pink tights!!

I love this dress. The shape is fabulous on you and the pink tights are so perfect. I hate my legs in bright tights but you always pull it off. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great outfit on you- I'm all about the coloured tights (although am also wishing it was warmer out!) and that dress is adorable! Can't wait to see the 80 prom pics!
ReplyDeleteLike our original prom pictures? You'll get a real laugh out of my homemade frocks. Love the look of the pink tights with this dress.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Can't wait to see your 80s prom dress! Also now I'm confused, too. Would you rather have us remix/rewear/alter our prom dresses and wear them today for real and send you photos or do you want photos from our actual prom nights? Are both of those right answers?
ReplyDelete--TS
Those hot pink tights are so much fun. Bonus points for scoring them on clearance, too. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that dress is adorable. I love the print.
ReplyDeleteBut those tights? AMAZEBALLS. Love!
This outfit is perfect on you.. I love you hair up like that also, it looks beautiful. AND those pink tights are the best with this outfit!!! 10 out of 10 girl!! LOL xoxo J
ReplyDeleteOooh I'm adoring this dress, lady! And hot pink tights look fan-freaking-tastic with black and white. I think I need some, myself.
ReplyDeleteAlso all of your vintage dresses have inspired me... today I'm wearing (though it won't be posted for weeks probably) an 80s dress I picked up at a clothing swap months ago. Feeling pretty sassy in it! Though it probably needs a bit of a hem.
Anyway... GORGEOUS. That is all.
Hot pink and black and a great print! This is a really fantastic outfit, Gracey. Sorry for the nasty weather, but you did get a wonderful look out of it.
ReplyDeleteSuper super cute!! Hot pink and black are a favorite color combination of mine!

ah - this is super cute. 80s triangles!
ReplyDeleteAt least it's an amazing way to wear tights again!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress on you - dresses with pockets are the best.
This dress are reasons why I continue to shop vintage. It is a perfect fit, cut and 3/4 sleeves are my favorite! It looks so comfortable and looks great with the pink tights. Kudos!
