Music To My Ears

Hey, there! This will be a short post since I'm only wearing a couple new things. The brown wrap coat is from ModCloth and I was lucky enough to get it on final sale. It's BB Dakota and it was called the "In Full Force Coat" on the website. I always feel a bit like a ninja whenever I tie that black belt. ^___^

Admittedly, it isn't the warmest coat and I would have preferred a thicker, heavier coat on this bitingly cold and windy evening. However, this is the only brown coat I own and I felt the vintage dress underneath required an earthy color as a compliment. Black and grey could have been too boring.

You may remember the vintage fur hat from this previous post. My hands were pretty icy even in my gloves, but my ears were nice and warm thanks to the hat. :D I love pretty much all things from the 80s, so of course I adore this little beauty. ^_^ It's for sale in my Etsy store, too! Click here for more details!

I believe this plaid dress is from the late 50s, early 60s based on the brand tag
and overall style.
I received the dress earlier this year from a girl in my swap group. I have to say, she has impeccable taste in clothing. The dress is very well made and the colors and patterns are so perfect for Fall.

The navy and maroon colors remind me of the sky when the sun is setting. I don't know why, but they just do. Sometimes garments exude certain emotions and I pick up on those feelings. I guess it's a little bit like when people say such and such "spoke to me." Well, I really like what this dress has to say. ;D

Great combination! It's simultaneously really twee and really urban.

The coat and the dress...SWOOOOON. I need more peter pan collars. Also, I need more plaid.

I must say, after every post I become more and more envious of your swap group. You have received some truly amazing items (I still think about that amazing vintage 80s blazer...). The dress is simply stunning.

I have 2 BB Dakota jackets! I don't wear them as often (one isn't the most amazing quality and the other I used to wear constantly but has just fallen out of rotation). They do make cute and very inexpensive jackets.

That dress is just perfect. I love the colours. Good call on the coat as well. It definitely brings the whole outfit together. I find myself in the "This coat is too thin... Gonna wear it anyway!" dilemma quite often actually. ;)
