it’s friday and i’m finally beginning to feel back to normal! thank you so much for all your well wishes on my last post! i’m excited to be feeling better because i’m about to go on a quick weekend trip to the monterey/carmel area to celebrate brendan’s birthday. we booked an historic room designed by julia morgan at the asilomar state park and we have all sorts of fun weekend adventures planned out!
but until then, here is my last outfit of the week: you may remember this dress from my velma-inspired outfit a few months back, but this time i decided to revise the look a bit by chopping off a few inches from the skirt to create a mini dress. i’m always drawn to shorter lengths, so it’s hard for me to resist the urge to snip away at my hems! but in this case, i think less is definitely more. now let’s just see what i do with my hair…
dress: vintage psychedelic print dress
shoes: thrifted vintage heels
bag: j.w. hulme mini legacy bag
sunglasses: karen walker number six

Glad you’re already feeling better! Lovely outfit, I love that 60s inspired shoes.
Definitely love it more as a mini; the shorter length seems to suit bold patterns so well!
I *love* your dress, it’s so cute!! The colors are perfect – awesome find! :)
I agree! I like it at the shorter length, too. The dress is just so darling, and your entire outfit is so cute… By the way, I loved your “velma” post. I saw it when you first posted it, and I found it to be quite funny… I too have been called velma because of my hair cut, and glasses! and well… the guy that first told me denoted himself as “Austin Powers”. Gotta love it…
I love the shorter length! Glad you’re feeling better – have so much fun in Monterey/Carmel. That’s where I grew up. :)
Love this look! I’m glad you chopped off more length. Short is always better in my opinion. Have fun on your trip!
Such a pretty dress, one I would pick up if I spotted it ! I like it a shorter length !
Sugar….Spice…and everything nice….
You look Totally GREAT in that dress…!!
Your hair is looking lovely and I’m glad your feeling better. x

Glad to hear you’re feeling better! This dress looks wonderful on you, lady! It’s such a perfect floral dress :)
Love the pattern and cut of that dress!
I adore this print – the colours are stunning! I’ve been searching for little shoesies just like those to no avail – i love the style and heel height. Perfectly paired with the dress too:)
The length is great, Erin! I, too, have trouble not hacking everything to above the knees, but sometimes you’ve gotta stick to your guns!
don’t cut your hair, it looks so good right now!
Gorgeous dress!! XOXO, http://www.NatalyasCloset.com

Love the shorter hem on the dress. You manage to pull off these 60’s styles so well.

Shorter is always better. I’m the same, I always hem things. it’s because I’m short to start with.
Excellent thrifted shoes!
Ah, I love the way you shortened the dress! It looks so good on you ~ This entire outfit is flawless.
Have fun on your trip!
i love your shoes!!

I love that flower power dress! The print is wonderful and I really enjoy the shape of it too. Cool vintage shoes too!
This is probably the coolest dress I’ve seen in along time! I love everything about it, so summery and funky! Im so envious :)
You’re a deliberate style genius. Velma was always my favourite and I always thought living proof that if I were a guy, she would be the girl with glasses that I would make a pass at :)
Erin, I think the mod length is a classic – a snip to the hem is seldom a bad thing if you ask me. I also find that every girl has the look of a certain era to them no matter what they wear, and I’d say yours is the ’60s.
