The Script Called for Rain

Something that I truly love about Pittsburgh: the wealth of murals that seem to be lurking around every corner. It never gets old, driving along when all of a sudden your eye catches something bright and vibrant, another mural. They seem to be everywhere and I'm not complaining. I love the mixture of art and architecture here, while it was strange at first, I've come to appreciate the sheer variety of houses, buildings, murals, and serpentine sets of stairs that wind up every steep hill.

Yesterday was one of those days where it was supposed to rain, but just ended up staying beautiful and 80 degrees. It turned out to even be a little too hot for a polyester dress (when isn't it too hot for a polyester dress?), but I wanted to get at least one last wear of this vintage mini in before summer truly hits. I'm in love with thrifting in Pennsylvania, I feel like it's been so long since I found true vintage at a thrift store (not just 80's and 90's nostalgia), this little dress is a recent gem. After wearing mostly midis and maxis as of late, it felt a little funny to wear something so short, but it's good to change things up a bit right?
