I feel like it's been forever since I've posted an outfit. I have so many cute new pieces but I'm entirely too lazy to get out in this crazy heat... Unless you get out there at 8am. That's dedication, right? I got this dress at the Pinup Girl Yard Sale and I'm completely smitten. I've wanted a Jenny dress for a really long time but knew I should wait for the sample sale. I'm glad I waited (I love a great deal) but I feel like this beauty should have been in my possession for a long time. It's wonderful!
Dress- Pinup Girl Clothing
Shoes- Steve Madden
Petticoat- Sidecca
Headband- Forever 21
This dress has so many great details. The boning in the bodice is perfect, the adjustable straps are an important touch, and the skirt is so full. Seriously, this dress weighs a couple of pounds. So let the debate begin! Which do I like better: the Jenny dress or Bernie Dexter dresses? I think I'm going to dedicate an entire post to it, but I will say that it really depends on what you're looking for in a dress. As someone who recently decided to make less but more high quality purchases, this is really important!
For all you Americans, I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend. I've been outside this weekend more than I have in years! Bianca also had her first pool experience which was really cute. Now I'm going to enjoy the rest of it :).

Okay, so, now I'm really looking forward to your post on the topic because this dress SERIOUSLY look like it was made for you. So interesting to hear then all the details that allows one to adjust the dress to look like it was sewn just for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you look great in that deep purple. Somehow, I don't feel we see you in deep purple much?
Stay tuned, the post is going up on Sunday :)
DeletePurple is my favorite color and I have no idea why I don't have much of it. I feel like I need more!
Love this dress! It looks like it was made for you, as I see Jamie already said! It has a wonderful Alice in Wonderland vibe to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your early morning dedication, and it sounds like you guys had a really fun holiday!

You look amazing in this dress! So pretty. I agree with buying less, but higher quality items. I only recently started to realize the importance of having quality clothing, even if it means spending $60 on a pair of jeans or a dress!

I just found your blog through Soubrette Brunette, and I enthralled! You have a really fantastic sense of style, and I love your cotton candy hair.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is great, and it's great on you. Wish I could make it to one of PUGs legendary sales, I have a feeling I'd got a little crazy with it.
Cheers!

Gahhh you look fantastic in this Jenny dress! I really love the deep purple on you, and the silhouette fits you like a glove! I have to agree that the PUG dresses have incredible quality (and they're SO heavy!), and the boning is a great touch. And you make a great point about the Bernie/PUG comparison -- it really does depend on what you're looking for. I think PUG tends to win out for dressier options, since Bernie's dresses are cotton, but really, I love both for different reasons. I think Bernie's sizing is still better for my particular proportions, but I know that's not the case for everyone.

Oh my, this dress is perfection! Good thing that you finally bought it! Goes great with your hair!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for that post! I don't own any PUG dresses or Bernie Dexter dresses. I have really been wanting one, but I am unsure which one to save up for! The Jenny dress has a wonderful shape, though, and it looks lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous dress!

Wow! I am still in awe and envy over your Pin Up Sale...it sounds like a marvelous deal. And this dress looks even more amazing on you! That skirt, while a little heavy, looks fabulous. I'm sure it is worth it:)

For me, my favorite feature of this dress is the pattern!

I love the pattern on this dress and the fit on you. Also sometimes (most times) I think that purple is 100% your color.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks so shiny and perfect in these photos (not that it usually doesn't but) what are you using in it?!
I don't know why I don't own more purple, it's definitely my favorite color!
DeleteI've been using Kevin Murphy products but I haven't been doing anything different. I do drink A LOT of water though, that might have something to do with it? It's also super faded and dirty in those pictures LOL
That dress looks so perfect on you! The deep purple and pattern is just too lovely <3
