Recently I noticed that I've been really drawn to the colors green and blue. Aqua is a combination of both, right? So I had my cake and ate it too today, in a color sense, and went with this pretty handmade vintage dress that I thrifted last year. The color is great, but what really sold me on it are the little flowers. You can't really tell from the photos, but they sparkle in the light. It was quite the pick-me-up on a dreary day.
The jean jacket is another favorite that I found in a branch of a very popular local consignment store chain. I usually don't frequent consignment stores. The prices are higher than my usual thrifty haunts and they don't have that much vintage (in my experience). I'm glad I wandered into the one where I found the little jacket though. I love how it creates a very specific silhouette. In one of my history classes in college we discussed how clothing changed over time and molded people's bodies into various shapes deemed fashionable and attractive in different eras. I feel like this jacket does just that, emphasizing the bust and waist and making the arms look slim. Thank goodness its made out of stretchy denim though, otherwise I might not be able to wear it for too long:)

Earrings: Grocery Store (random, right?)
Dress: Thrifted Vintage
Scarf: Thrifted Vintage
Coat: Thrifted Vintage

Tights: Target
Shoes: Clarks

The aqua dress with the denim jacket is such a fabulous combination. That two alone created a very nice ensemble then when you added the coat plus the scarf, the result is equally fabulous. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like the cut of that jacket! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is indeed very flattering, and it looks perfect with that dress.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is such a cheery colour! And the jacket has a great shape, very flattering.
ReplyDeletewow what a sweet dress! you so beauttiful!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is absolutely incredible!! I love how the cut of it accentuates the pretty bow at the waist of the dress. Not to mention that aqua/turquoise is probably my all time favorite color. What great finds!
ReplyDeleteWOW I love your dress! The color is stunning, as are the colors of your scarf! I love the shape of your jean jacket as well, it's definitely different, unique, and quite feminine compared to regular jean jackets. I agree, blue and green look great together! They make tons of fun colors, like aqua, teal, turquoise, and more I can't think of right now :)
ReplyDeleteoh I love the jacket, it shapes the outfit so well
ReplyDeleteI love aqua...and this dress is the perfect pop of Aqua color. I like how you paired it with the denim jacket, it's a modern compliment to the vintage dress.
ReplyDelete(Oh and the pic where you're sitting on the steps is gorgeous...shoot they're all really nice)
The color of your dress is so lovely! And the jean jacket is perfect - it almost makes me think of those little shrugs worn in the Jane Austen movies - so romantic and flattering! An unusual silhouette for denim!

Re: your comment. I agree - it's amazing how he's fitted in so much into a small space, but it does work well. I love the old sink in the kitchen and the shiny green wall! The bathroom looks so serene and calm which is a total contrast to the rest of the apartment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great print and I LOVE the cutaway jean jacket!!
ReplyDeleteWow!This dress has an unbelievable colour! And what a luck to have a colour matching scarf! I always find you are particularly good in finding matching items. I'm not! When I buy a dress of a peculiar colour, I will most likely find an almost-but-not-exactely-matching scarf!
ReplyDeleteyour lipstick just seals the deal!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful dress, what a lovely colour. ANd the scarf is really cute, I am a big fan of matching my clothes and I lvoe it when things go together so beautifully like this outfit.
ReplyDeleteI've always been drawn to green & blue so I absolutely adore this outfit!

The jacket makes your waist look TINY!
ReplyDeletePretty! I love the hat on you.
ReplyDeleteMad love for this denim jacket, the way it curves at the end makes it so much more feminine and less hardy. A keeper!
ReplyDeleteOh it does create such a beautiful line, I love it on you. The scarf and colors are gorgeous. You have such a great figure...sigh :)
ReplyDeleteThe last is my fav, though I love the one of you sitting on the stairs.
