I decided it was time for some color! It's so easy to be sucked in to a bevy of neutrals and earth tones during the winter -- and though I love these, sometimes it just becomes boring after a while! Since the snow thawed a bit this week (it got up to like, 50 degrees on Thursday) and it actually felt springlike, I decided it'd be a good time to wear this lovely vintage find. I love the color and pattern of this dress (it doesn't really remind me of Monet, but I had the same visceral reaction to it as when I look at his paintings, hence the blog post title), and I do love any vintage dress that comes with a matching belt!
I had yesterday off, and had planned to work some more on my room... but I ended up kind of wasting the day. I really want to get a little bistro cafe table to paint, but I'm not sure where to find one. I've looked on Etsy, so probably my best bet is a thrift, antique or estate sale shop. I wish the weather were nicer so there would be garage sales! I guess it'll just have to be a work in progress until I find one. Maybe I can convince my mom to take a trip out to this antique co-op on the other side of town... they have tons and tons of stores, and I've found some real gems there before. It's a little ways to drive, but it could be worth it!
Enjoy your Saturday!

such a beautiful dress! i think i've said it before but it doesn't matter for me what time of year it is, if i feel like dressing in bright or pastel spring colours in the middle of winter i'll do it because sometimes you need it for a bit of cheering up.

Such a gorgeous dress and I love that ring! It is fun to remember color in the winter- it's so easy to get sucked into dark neutrals, you're right!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, this whole outfit is so sweetly, appealingly pretty. I love that you've partnered a vibrant floral with soft grey. Doing so really wrangles the dress into feeling more like winter in such a fashionable way.

Your dress is a beautiful contrast against such a stark wintry background! I LOVE your shoes too!
