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!

Ooh! I LOVE this!

This is what they call a "partner's dress" since you need one to wear it. Ha ha.

All the little details on it make it a charmer and it fits you beautifully. One of my all time favourites of yours. Plus it has pockets!

I love this dress, too, the back looks fantastic! The print reminds me of 70s dresses that I've seen at my grandma's attic when I was playing there as a child :)

As much as I love all your detailed layered outfits, I also appreciate your simple outfits. I'm loving the red dress, especially loving that it has pockets. And that necklace is beautiful!

O.M.G. This dress is stunning. STUNNING! The back detail is amazing, of course. But the detail that really sells it to me are the front pockets! :D Dresses with pockets are, of course, simply the best type of dresses!

I loooved this dress! You are right, at first I thought it was a polka dot dress, but then I saw it shows some "grains" and I loved it! I liked the back of the dress, too, but I have no suggestion on how to put it on without help :) But it's worth asking for help, cause it's a lovely dress to wear! I loved the tote as well! I really love your outfit and I think you look so beautiful and always so very stylish!

Rad! Thanks so much! I always feel really vulnerable in minimalist outfits. There's nowhere for me to hide. Hehe. What you see is what you get, right? So, I'm glad that people are diggin' this simple look. I was afraid that it might not have been interesting enough. :F

At the first sight this dress looks like a simple stylish red dress. But seeing all those wonderful and unique details made me just... *o* WOW!
That dress is amazing! Suits you so well :)
I can't point out if I love the buttons or the fact that the "polka dots" are shaped like rice (or something that you'd decorate a cupcake with :D) more.

I really love your outfits with loads of different pieces of clothing but these more "simple" ones are beautiful too <3

And those sunglasses are so pretty too! ^__^

Hehe. Sprinkles! Omg, I love that so much more. I'll always think of that now when I wear the dress. :D Thanks so much for stopping by, too! It's good to see you! <3

I really like this look! And I quite enjoy the back especially (too bad it is hard to get on/off!)
