yes, on the toes of yesterday’s post about tomboy style, i am totally wearing a girly, lacy vintage dress with a bow on it. (though i did balance out the femininity with a sturdy hat and loafers…) but when i laid my eyes on this amazing vintage dress at tender vintage, i knew it had to be mine. it’s a shift dress, but it’s the perfect type of shift because it has darts at the bust and it subtly narrows at the waist before flaring out to a slight a-line skirt. that care for details is what takes a dress that could easily veer into maternity territory from frumpy to a very sassy little number indeed. and it’s exactly the type of detail that i look for when i’m shopping for a little mod dress.
and while i was waiting for this darling dress in the mail, i happened upon a photo of mia farrow wearing a slightly similar dress with a cute little topper, and that’s how this particular look was born. it’s my very best “pilgrim chic.” well, maybe it comes in second to my psychedelic pilgrim look from last year!
hat: vintage ’50s equestrian hat
dress: vintage ’60s mod dress from tender vintage
shoes: vintage loafers from pretty penny
lipstick: nars lipstick in fire down below

Mia Farrow’s hat is too perfect. As is your dress! It fits you like it was made for you. I always love when that happens with shift dresses : )
yes! i feel like it’s a rarity, but every once in a while, you find a shift that is actually flattering and it’s the most exciting thing in the world.
I love your style! XOXO
You look adorable and in love with that dress!
I love this dress! Perfection!xo

Gosh, you are so darling! One of my very favorite outfits from you!
That dress is amazing! My favourite details from my favourite era! I purchased a yellow piece that is almost exactly the same the other day… except it is yellow and has fuzzy polka-dots instead of lace.
ooh, i can’t wait to see you post it. sounds dreamy!
Fabulously styled! Love it, Erin! :)
So cute, Erin!
You look so cute!
Those are my favorite types of shift dresses! Right on.
I love the pointy-toe loafers with that dress. But, then again, I almost feel like no matter what shoe you wear with that dress, it’s the dress that is just absolutely amazing! Good job on finding that! I would have to agree with Natalie Jean – totally also my “Favorite outfit yet!”
this outfit is just darling! I am loving your mod styling in this look and will definitelty need to give a look like this a try! thanks for being such an inspiration

this reminds me of a little boy from 1900 who chases a hoop with a stick. hahaha, i dont know if these kids had names, because i tried googling it to be more specific, but perhaps you can imagine.
hahaha, yes! a fancy lad!
