In This Outfit:
Dress: Vintage via Beacon's Closet ($32)
Top: Vintage c/o Pineapple Mint (2010)
Shoes c/o Lulu's (back in stock!)
Bracelet: Vintage (Swapped)
Tights: AA (old)
This has been one of my favorite outfits lately. It feels rare to find a vintage mini dress that fits in both the bust and hips, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, let alone a leather mini dress. I died a little when I found this beauty at Beacon's Closet. Actually, I just did a dorky little dance in the dressing room. I've been on the hunt for a leather dress forever, and I'm so happy I found it vintage. If you follow me on Instagram, I posted the tag- Zig Zag- last week. Judging by the typography and label, I'm guessing (but it's just a guess, so if anyone knows any different let me know) that it's made by the rolling paper company of the same name? I kind of hope so. Lately, I feel like I've fallen in love with vintage again. Maybe it's because I've had some great luck thrifting/vintage shopping, or that I've been rediscovering the vintage items in my closet and finding new ways to wear them (this shirt <- two other ways it's been worn), but I feel motivated again to hunt down unique items.
And on a completely separate- but no less important- note, thank you all SO MUCH for your comments on yesterday's post. I don't often write super personal posts on here, mainly because I have difficulty writing about myself. I can write a dress description no problem, but when it comes to writing in the first person, I clam up. It's something that I'm going to try to change in the coming year.
Happy Thursday!
Oh, and P.S. it's March 1st, RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT!
(do you play this game, it's a fierce competition in my family)

What? You mean the Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit thing is for real? My best friend does it every month and I've been telling for years it's just his crazy family. Ok, mind is officially blown.

Your tights look incredible! What a fantastic colour.
Love everything about this outfit particularly the pussycat bow!
wha is the rabbit game, I'm intregued. In my family we just said white rabbits, although I am not sure why.
your shooooooes....ugh.
This color combo is to-die-for. I've been jealous of those shoes since the first time you posted about them! I love how they pull the whole outfit together.
You look super lovely with your bangs pinned back!
Love the colored tights! I've been wanting some for a while now, but I just have to find the right thing to wear it with. Check out my blog!

I LOVE THIS!! Also, my family is VERY serious about the "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit." Though, we say "bunny, bunny, bunny." Interesting. Everyone is supposed to say it for good luck at the beginning of every month. March is not looking good for me I didn't say it first thing when I woke up. ;)

It sounds like you found the perfect vintage dress! I don't think I've ever found one I didn't have to alter. This one looks so lovely, I really like the shirt underneath and the colourful tights
Since I discovered sewing and vintage patterns my urge to thrift is almost nil. I went into a cute little hipsterish vintage store this week and couldn't find a thing I liked. SO hard to find the right mix of fit, colour, and non-polyester. This week I'm whipping up a mod 60's mini tent out of a beautiful blue wool - the chances I could find something like this in a vintage store are zero. But you look amazing! And you seem to have great luck finding one of a kind pieces that actually fit you.....
How cute!! I really adore the use of polka dots :) It compliments the dress perfectly. Love it all!!

That dress/vest is so hot you pull it off well with the coloured tights. Me like :)
Lovely! Polka dots with that cute dress - you look gorgeous and really fresh. Still love those shoes - they look so versatile))

I am just really happy to know that I am not the only one that dances in the fitting room when I have found something great, lol.
Your mini leather is pretty amazing as are your shoes.
I don't know if you're doing the same but I'm growing my bangs out so I have been rocking this same exact hairstyle lately. You look beeeeaaauuutiful :)
I love your shoes! they are fabulous.
What an adorable dress! I love the satisfaction of finding the exact right piece in a vintage/thrift store. It's the thrill of the hunt, I suppose!
Just found your blog and love it! you have such great style!! happy to be your newest follower! xx

Wow this outfit is so beautiful! I love the 70s vibes about it!
oh i freakin' LOVE those shoes from modcloth. they're so incredible.
Your thrift finds are what I wish(!) I could find at my local thrift shops. That dress is to die for, and I can't believe it's a thrift find! Lucky you (: I keep reading your blog in hopes your thriftiness will rub off on me ><
