In the middle of my moving out chaos- which includes garbage bags full of clothes, sad, soon to be nostalgic walks to Molly's Cupcakes, and a lot of crumpling directly in front of the air conditioner- this dress was sent to me in the mail like a UPSed silver lining. I walked down the stairs to my lobby in my pj shorts, Quidditch t-shirt, and an actual SCRUNCHIE in my hair, when I spotted a brown package wearily. But when I tore into it, sitting indian style on my bed, and this colorful, zig-zag, striped, dotted shift dress flowed into my lap I closed my eyes in thanks. It was almost a religious experience.
So thank you Sugarlips for sending me this Scooter Striped Dress and saving me from drowning in an angry sea of cardboard boxes. When I slipped it on I felt very '60s mod- all I need now if Twiggy's eyeliner and a bright blue scooter.
But, one project at a time.
Dress- c/o Sugarlips
Hat- UO
Vest- Old Navy (recent!)
Boots- Topshop (Recent!)
This striped dress is sooo pretty and perfect with the vest, such a wonderful combination! Moving can be so stressful, good luck!!

Oops, sorry I missed your last post, but your hair is AMAZING. The color is so good (okay, maybe I'm a little biased) and the cut is fantastic. Cute outfit too. The vest is a great layering piece.

ReplyDeletei ADORE this outfit.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is so lovely on you! I adore the colours and the cut out bits in the back! I love the fact that you have a quidditch tee shirt, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who sleeps in slightly geeky shirts, mostly I sleep in a Star Trek one.

First of all OMG you cut your hair! Looks fantastic. Were you scared? Good for you change is a must! Love the back of this dress as well xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect surprise in the midst of throwing all of your belongings into whatever garbage bag or cardboard box that's lying around. Packing can be daunting. I always end up getting distracted in the process, especially if I received a fun dress in the mail.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is amazing ! :)
