fast-forwarding a bit to day five of new york fashion week. on this particular day, i couldn’t decide whether i more closely resembled a giant slice of american cheese, or a creamsicle. many people referred to the latter, so i’ll gladly take it. i had actually been eying this dress on etsy for weeks, but kept holding back because i wasn’t quite sure if i could pull off such a bright orange hue. i found myself so oddly drawn to it that i finally decided to take the plunge and just get it. it’s definitely an eye catching color, but i really like the fun, free-spirited vibe of it. and sometimes it’s nice to dress a bit like a silly cartoon character from the 1960s.
wearing: 1960s vintage orange lace trapeze dress, thrifted vintage shoes, coach classics handbag

great dress!!
Such a pretty dress Erin, reminds me of the Brady Bunch :)
Love! The lace/color are to die for and creamy accessories compliment the dress style perfectly. The color really suits your skin tone well too. :)

Love the shape, material, color and best of all because you’re sporting so well!
you can definitely pull it off! you look gorgeous as always :)
My first thought was cantaloupe!
We have a similar frame, and I am always a bit hesitate about shifts, because I am not sure that they flatter my curvy figure/larger chest, but I think you have inspired to give them a change. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
yeah, shift/tent dresses aren’t the world’s most flattering on a larger bust, but i also have a very short waist and am on the petite side, so they work ok for me as long as they are in a shorter length and aren’t snug at the hip. you should definitely try a few styles, you might be surprised to discover that they’re easier to wear than you think! ;)
That color looks fantastic on you so good call buying the dress ;) Hope you had/are having a great NYFW!
You look fabulous and I am in love with your dress, bag and those shoes, they are to die for…xoxoxox
pretty cream-sickle color!!
To me it looks more like a bowl of sherbet than cheese!
haha, both of which i would gladly eat any day!
definitely a creamsicle! i’m also getting velma (from scooby doo) vibes. fancy velma.
ooh, i love that. i think velma might be one of my secret style icons because i actually find myself channeling her quite frequently!
you look absolutely gorgeous!
This dress is just so adorable. That color looks amazing on you and I adore the lace material on the dress.
That’s an amazing dress!

Wow! That dress was such a great find! I love the color…and of course the lace :) This whole look from head to toe is perfect. Those shoes & coach back are a nice complement to the vivid orange. And no, you do NOT look like a dreamsicle! You’re much prettier than that lol.
Just found your blog and I’m now following through GFC and bloglovin.

You look amazing! I love the bright hue paired with creams.
Cutest!
This dress is fabulous! I have a full length lace version with butterfly collar- I’m certain that they could be cousins.. I’m just waiting for cooler weather to break it out.
