This 1990s dress, my latest Etsy purchase, arrived in the post today - I was so excited to get it that I actually changed dresses to I could wear it today!
I am really digging these 1990s frocks. I used to wear them back in the day, but got rid of them all years ago. Then a few weeks ago: BANG! I had to have one! Thanks to fellow blogger Joyatri for telling me that folks call this a "ditsy" or "ditzy" dress. Think it refers to the wee floral patterns - am I right?
Whooee, I haven't worn a frock this short in a looong time! But if you can't strut your stuff at 42, when the heck are you going to do it??? Check out Vix's most recent post for some killer gams!
Dress: vintage 1990s, Etsy
Blue suede boots: vintage 1970s?, Made in Italy, thrifted in Toronto, Canada
Black velvet elastic belt: vintage, found in Toronto, Canada
Wool blazer: J Crew, thrifted in Toronto, Canada
Leather bag: French, thrifted, story coming soon!!
Wool pashmina: new, bought my first year in Toronto 7 years ago

Here's close up of the bracelet, which was around $35 in a Toronto vintage shop. Pricey for GQ standards but I loved it so much, and it's so distinctive. The blues complemented the blues in the dress today, so it was a must with my outfit even though it catches on every thing!
A big welcome to several new followers - please drop in and stay a while!
