Hi! ^_^ This is a very simple outfit that I wore over the weekend. I received the beautiful vintage floral dress from my clothing swap group. I fell in love with it at first sight. The quality wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but the defects don't bother me that much. I tend to have a higher tolerance for that sort of thing where vintage clothing is concerned. Sometimes, it just kind of goes with the territory. :P

The print on the dress is so fantastic and totally appropriate for the season. It was a gorgeous day, too, so I didn't have any desire to layer anything over it. It has huge belt loops, but it didn't come with a belt. I wouldn't have used it, even if it did, though. I'm not that into large belts. I just ignored the loops and tied a thin woven belt around the waist. I added some understated (but wonderful) tassel loafers and my favorite mint handbag. Then, I finished with the webbed tights for some extra vintage flair.  ^_^

I was just going to call it a day, but I decided to show you guys my backgammon set. Hehe. It was no imposition, since we were on our way to get coffee and I was carrying it. So, I just held on to it for the photos. I think I've talked about my obsession with backgammon several times over the years. I'm such an old. >_< I know. Haha. It's a wonderful game of skill and luck, though. I never get tired of it.
:D <3

Anyway, we used to have a really dinky set. However, a few years ago, we put our pennies together and got a nice wooden board with hand carved pieces.
After snapping some photos, we went to one of my favorite java joints, got some iced coffees and settled in for a best of three. It was a good day! :3

More vintage coming through! :D Apparently, I got a lot of vintage stuff within the last year that I haven't been able to wear, because of cold weather. o_O This red polka dot vintage dress is another gem from my clothing swap group. I had been looking for a go-to red dress for awhile and I finally got it. ^_^ <3

The dress has so many details that I love. Yes, it has shoulder pads, BUT I love that the "polka dots" are actually tiny white ovules that remind me of rice grains. The cut of the dress is very flattering from the front and there's some unique wow factor in the back. :D When I turn around, you see a set of large, shiny buttons and a double "X" pattern. The buttons are not for show, either. They're functional! In fact, I pretty much have to undo all of the back buttons to get into the dress and then do them back up. >_<

If anyone knows a trick to getting this kind of a dress on and off, please share your secrets with me!

So far, I'm unable to wear the dress without having to beg my partner to do up the top two buttons.
>_<

The super cute bicycle tote bag is something I picked up from Forever 21 almost two years, ago. I use it regularly, but I haven't showed it on my blog, too often. I'm still kind of picky about which outfits I'll showcase, because many aren't sufficiently interesting. I love this outfit, though. So, I had to share. :P

You know, I really think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole only wearing one or two pieces of clothing thing. I guess you *can* teach an old dog new tricks. Haha. I hope you're having a good week!
