Sunny Florals

 

I'm trying to look on the sunny side of life in this yellow floral dress from Revival Vintage's Socialite Collection. I really love the bright and cheerful yellow floral of this print, there is something so happy and cheerful about it. It really fits my current mood too. Right now, the snow is melting, and the sun is starting to come put more regularly. Spring is on its way; I can feel it and see it when I look at my calendar. I can't believe it's February already! 

With this dress I paired it with black. Vintage black beaded necklace and earrings and 1940s black patent pumps. This is going to sound so silly, but I am loving the luxury of being to buy clothes. When I first got into vintage making my own pieces was the only option. Real vintage was vastly out of my budget or size range and reproduction stuff was something I did not know was a thing. I started getting into wearing vintage way before I had internet access! Before the internet, my best resources for vintage were local shops, my inspiration came from books I got from the store or school library. Fast forward a "few" years and now I have the great fortune to afford and have access to amazing reproduction clothes like this dress. Thanks to the internet, I also have access to being able to find real vintage too giving me a vastly wider selection to choose from than just my local shops. Ahh yes, it's the little things in life. It's nice to be able to buy a pretty cotton shirtwaist dress that doesn't cost an arm and a leg inste4ad of having to make one.
