The 60's Style Tunic Dress

Firstly, happy Mother's Day! To anyone out there who's a mom, I hope you're being spoiled silly! 
I picked up this tunic/mini dress a few years ago, and simply haven't worn it enough! It's contemporary, by Juicy Couture, but it has such an adorable ruffled colar and a distinctive 1960's vibe - especially when worn over tights! I'm always intrigued by designs that have an era-centric repro look to them, they seem to either completely nail it, or miss the mark entirely. This is one of those pieces, though, that I could have some fun doing a wardrobe re-mix with.

Dress/Tunic: Juicy Couture

Walking With the Ghost


Road tripping in unseasonably cold California has me dressing for both winter and summer! Here's a corduroy dress that I both took in and hemmed up. Come to think of it, I should have reined in the sleeves a little, too. I was altering it for the shop, but got a little nostalgic about the fabric and decided to keep it (for now anyways). It reminded me of a dress my grandfather had sewn for me when I was just a little girl. Well, my camera's exposure was set to another time and place, certainly not the San Francisco fog and cold, but the dress still stood out. I kind of like the way I've been ghostly removed from the photos, but I'll add a few in full color so you can get a decent idea of the dress. I always forget to include outfit details.
