color escapade

2.08.2012


Vintage Biba dress. Coach bag. Zara sandals. Forever 21 belt. Vintage necklace (from Jules!)

Glad I didn't have to wait till summer to wear this dress. Found it in a vintage warehouse called Rewear Warehouse in Anaheim. The place is decent but only worth checking out when the store is half off (on Wednesdays and weekends I believe).

Definitely into the whole high slit thing right now. And, I can't even oogle enough how much I love the print of this dress - like enough to frame it if there was a twin laying around. No idea what to wear this weekend though. I might possibly die.

I'm definitely a sucker for such vintage dress, but the slit! It is superbly magical way to modernize the whole look. Plus that amazing necklace and neon belts altogether, definitely look of the week!

Cheers,

Love the sunnies as well as the dress, of course! Which brand are they? (sunnies)

Sue said...

That dress is divine. Loving the pop of color on the waist.

Kita said...

As beautiful as this outfit looks on you, I just wanted to let you know that this is not a dress. It is actually called a "Kurti" or a "Kameez". It's a part of the everyday Indian outfit, worn usually with a "Salwar" or "Chudidar". The slits are to help with easy movement.
Also, this is not vintage. If you walked into an Indian/Ethnic store, you should be able to find these pretty easy. "Biba" is a very popular, contemporary store in India. It is in fact, one of my favorites and I have bought several "kurtis" to wear as mini sun dresses myself!

That said, I'd again like to reiterate that you look beautiful :)
