Bohemian Farm Girl
I thrifted this 1970’s dress over the weekend, when my husband and I were on our overnight Valentine’s day trip to Port Townsend. Other than the fact that I love slightly over-the-top vintage, I primarily bought it for a hopeful future photo shoot with a few friends, as I want to stage a fake bride-and-bridesmaids woodland wedding shoot in the summer. But the other day, as I envisioned the shoot, I thought… why not pull it out and do my own photoshoot, right now? And then I wondered: why don’t people wear stuff like this all the time? Because, you guys. I felt pretty fabulous. I think I need to…

Apparently he used to live here, and now he lives across the lawn in the other house on this property. I adore him.

Princess Leia’s Pregnant Bond Girl Bridesmaid
Things I love about this dress: 1. The color. Oh, the color! It is that perfect bright coral that I just want to soak in for hours and never take off. 2. The length. I can’t resist floor-length gowns. Especially not when they’re this color. 3. The innate 1970’s of it all. It is, through and through, a completely 70’s gown. The length, the high neckline, the sleeves; it’s a product of the late 60’s ladylike-ness coming through to an early 70’s hippie. 4. Obviously, that it really IS a late 60’s/early 70’s evening gown. I can’t resist a vintage piece, no matter how whacky it may be. (To wit:…
