tied the knot

December 24, 2010





Vintage dress and belt. Rebecca Minkoff clutch. Proenza Schouler shoes. Banana Republic necklace.

A couple weekends ago I attended my co-worker's wedding and last-minutely picked out this vintage floral dress complete with ruffles from the shoulders all the way down to the hem. I tried to play off the apparent 80s vibe with more modern accessories like this lucite necklace from Banana Republic that makes everything look ten times fancier. Love that this dress is so flirty with movement, can't wait to wear it more casually.

Never really been to a wedding outside of my family, so it was pretty amazing to attend a winter wedding with a leisured reception that included a list of games for all the guests. A part of the night included me running around trying to find an item a woman wears but doesn't show in a twisted game of musical chairs. I lost because I refused to take off my panties until I realized that the other players were coming back with deodorant. Running in these shoes isn't that easy either.

  31. Is the dress Anna Sui? I'm almost sure it might be because I have a VERY similar one but with a shorter hem, (It is Anna Sui ) and I love it!

  32. You're so beautiful! I love the way you've accessorized this dress, especially the belt!

    Much <3,

    I've been reading your blog for a while now, and I must say that dress is so adorable that I just had to comment. I love the sleeves and the way that you paired it with that belt.

    scarlet letter style

  49. Oh my gosh! I seriously thrifted this dress a few years ago.. and then I think I re-donated it to another thrift store.. wouldn't that be funny if I bought my dress. Probably not, but now you are making me wish I hadn't given it away.

  50. Lovely vintage dress, is it vintage Diane Fres?
