Look Book: 70's Vintage Dresses & A Blogger Swap!

Sep 29, 2011

A few weekends ago I attended a blogger clothing swap, which was hosted by the gorgeous Cee of "Coco & Vera!" It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon -super fun & really relaxing! Just what this overworked girl needed. And as if cute clothes and fabulous company wasn't enough, we also nibbled (or in my case devoured) strawberry birthday cake, delicious cupcakes, and sipped pink champagne. We were celebrating a few September birthdays. Adorable!
I decided on this vintage dress, which I had just thrifted a few weeks ago. I absolutely love that it's an authentic 70's piece, and it's so different from anything else I own. Also, it works perfectly with my retro inspired Jeffrey Campbell platforms, which I promise not to wear for every single post. I don't know how they keep ending up in all of my outfit photos this week! ;-)
What an awesome day! I love that I get to see these lovely gals once a month. It's kind of amazing that we've all come together because of our blogs -how fantastic is that?! And the best part is that everyone is so sweet, sincere and super supportive of one another's blogs & endeavors. Amazing! ♥

Outfit Details:
Dress - Vintage
Belt -  ModCloth

PS - Also, a big thank you to Cee's husband for the lovely party & group photos!

    hey now, don't get to putting those awesome JC's away for too long, i'll tell you what - they could be featured in each post and i'd never tire of 'em!! that darling dress of yours was a sensational find Veronika, you've gotta be a beacon for every cool ounce of swell thrifty threads. i don't think i've ever come home with as many incredibles as you source in one day of hunting. the condition of all the pieces is pristine too, icing on the cake!

    i loved seeing you again and all the girls, it was some kinda wonderful day. so awesome how we started small and now it's grown to include a bunch more pals, all of whom are truly inspirational, have impeccable taste and are most kind. pretty special i'd say too! xoox ♥

    Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, i have more fashion disasters on my other blog titled jellybbean if you care to see them.

    I'm sorry that I am answering your question on a post but I'm quite new to all this and my computers refusing to let me email you back. But I thought this way I could kill two birds with one stone.

    Firstly, I love the shoes you're wearing in this post, they are fantastic, I am not really a heel person but I am breaking myself in slowly but surely with shoes with chunky heels, like the ones you're beautifully modelling.

    Secondly, in response to your question. I think I am going to wear the second dress, I'm trying to hunt for my frilly white belt to wear with it. Unfortunately I get too warm out and about to wear tights, but I like your idea of wearing coulored tights with it. i might transform it into a day dress and buy some colourful tights. Can you suggest any colours you think would go well with it?

    Thank you Jess x
