It finally felt like summer today! Summer in a BIG way too, it was so humid but I'm not complaining, this is what I wait for all year in New England: the magical transition from cold Winter, to tepid Spring, to totally worth it Summer. And on days like today, where it was almost 80 first thing in the morning, there is nothing easier than throwing on a dress and some espadrilles.
Dress: Vintage from flea market ($8)
Belt: Vintage (gift)
Bag: Thrift from Salvation Army Saugus, MA ($10)
Shoes: You Know the Espadrille courtesy of ModCloth
Necklace: Courtesy of NobleTown Vintage
Bracelet: Vintage via Savers ($2)
I love how breezy this vintage dress is (sometimes a little too breezy, I pulled a Marilyn this afternoon, whoops!) and I actually decided as I was getting dressed this morning that all I want to wear this summer are dresses! They are seriously so easy and require absolutely zero thought. Paired with classic espadrille wedges and a straw tote, it's a simple combination that can work for weekend or at the office (which was where I was today). I guess I need to stock up on basic dresses so they are easy to re-mix.
While I was taking my photos, I had a special guest:
I see this cat everywhere! Today he followed me around meewing, I know he has a home though because he's a bit... chubby. So cute though!
-------------------------------------------------So, I hope everyone had a good weekend! I only have a couple of images to share, it was just too nice outside to bother with a camera! On Saturday, Chris and I took a walk through town and down to the beach...
On our way we discovered that the Public Library was having a book sale:
We found "The Little Lame Prince" (a bit like "the Little Prince"...but lamer?), "Judy and Jim" (which has a cute image of a boy and a rabbit on the cover), and "The Princess Diana Paper Doll Book of Fashion" (do I really need to explain this awesomeness? I love Lady Di). The weather was so so so beautiful!
Did you have a good weekend?

Oh my gosh, I completely agree! It was so moist today. I was literally sitting in history doing a worksheet touching my paper and saying "it's moist. Ew."
Lovely, lovely outfit. It has a great vibe.

I couldn't be more in love with your dress. When you're wearing a dress as gorgeous and perfect as that, you are just, like, MAKING us comment. :) perfection
I need to get some more basic dresses too. Over in England the weather is still too dodgy for gorgeous outfits like yours!

You look lovely, perfectly prepared for summer :)
I absolutely adore this dress! It fits so well and is such a great cut... I can't believe it's vintage! Did you have to have it altered?

I love a good book sale myself. And that dress is just lovely - so perfectly springy.
this dress is lovely, perfect for the warmer weather. It looks super cute with the bag and wedges too!!
if you see this cat everywhere, it's probably a sign life sends you saying "adopt him!" ^^
