Still Busy...

5th August 09

Thanks for all your lovely comments about the dress - I am currently hoarding a mass of little vintage summer dresses, and I really want to wear them but need to figure out how to make them warm. I have a terrible habit of buying for the wrong season, which I think I've mentioned before - I like buying summer things when its winter and winter things when its summer. The only problem with doing this is that I want to wear everything straight away and then when the weather is suitable for the things I've bought, I tend to forget what I have in the first place.

Does anyone else do this?

I'm still a busy bee at work right now and will continue to be until the end of next week. There has been very little sewing for the shop, but I plan to make some time this weekend as I have some custom orders that I'm very excited about doing - they are my first customers after all.

my grandmother and i used to shop out of season all the time; you get the best deals that way!

i think you make this dress look super cute with the black opaque tights.

i am still so blown away by your shop! i love everything!

That dress is sooo cute! Love how you paired it with the black tights.

You look gorgeous - I love your dress, it's so classy and beautiful!

I never had such experience because I live in tropical country - means we only have dry or raining seasons, and the sun is shining everyday in the whole year! Haha. Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be in four-seasons country... Must be very interesting!

I also buy for the wrong season and want to wear the clothes right away! I didn't know if anyone else did that. haha.
That white dress is beautiful, though, and I love it layered like that!

That's such a gorgeous dress! Love the detail of black edging. I have the same problem as you, and I just generally throw tights on with everything

Skooter said...

Oh I am absolutely in love with your dress!

Rebecca said...

Adorable dress! I also have that same seasons habit - I never seem to want to wear weather-appropriate clothes! You can wear summer clothes in winter if you layer them properly. :)

I love that dress so much!

Sal said...

Oh yes, I have been shopping for winter for MONTHS and it's the middle of summer here! But then, winter is the dominant season where I live, so I think of it as stocking up.

Love the cream and black, doll.

Nadine said...

The dress is adorable.

Jenna and Maura said...

That dress is so cute especially with the tights. I've spent all summer buying winter/fall clothes and waiting for it to get cool... so I understand what you mean about buying for the wrong season!

This dress is beautiful - I love the classic black and white combination.

Emily said...

Beautiful. I agree, the black and white look is very classic. I love the fun details on this dress.

I tend to shop out of season, too. I like to layer a lot, so I usually get pretty good wear out of a fair portion of my wardrobe.

FashionAddict said...

Um ya, I just bought 6 pairs of tights for $1 each, and pry I won't be able to wear them for at least 2 months. So I hear ya!

What a lovely dress, Jen!
You are always so cute.

I keep buying fall things that I convince myself in the moment are actually summer dresses. One was linen, so I thought it'd be OK... but it's a heavy dark brown linen. Argh! But I'm always more inspired by fall and winter fashion. That is a very cute dress!

C.Elizabeth and Natalia said...

I am in love with that dress! It's exactly what I'm looking for at the moment... I feel like I have way too much black in my wardrobe! You look gorgeous!
