Doo Wop - A Thread Share Post

 Outfit Details: Dress: Vintage (last seen here)// Sweater: Thrifted // Bow: Modcloth // Brooch: Antique Mall // TIghts:  Modcloth // Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell




Hello there darlings, 

I'm back with another thread share post and today Amanda, from Salvaged Strawberry, and I are remixing my vintage plaid dress.  I was feeling all 50s and doo wop pairing it with my red cardi and big bow and as I walked I could nearly hear "Blue Moon" or "At the Hop" playing in the background (or in my head at least).  How's that for a blast from the past?  Now hand me a strawberry milkshake, grab me some skates, and let's call it a day.
Amanda took a completely different route with styling the piece and I can't help but just love how she layered it up and pulled from the more neutral tones.  Shimmy over THIS WAY to read more on her blog.


Have a loverly Thursday darlings!

 Love Bunches,

    Haha skates on that outfit would be amazing! I love how you just 50-ed this out, especially with the bow and mustard tights. And I really like what Amanda did with the layering- you two went completely different routes. Yours is super colorful and hers is neutral and toned down. It's amazing how different that dress can look!

    I love this idea! I bought a very similar dress in the summer, both of you look great. I love it with the mustard tights. You always look so radiant, how do you do it? I would ask to join in but its bloody freezing over here. xxxx
