Why:
Can you believe this dress if from the late 50s/early 60s? The colors are so amazing and bright— I am totally smitten. This is sort of the sassy housewife look, more maybe even the single gal?  Running around town, forcing attention to her technicolor brights. It felt really good wearing this dress. Its a new favorite. I could even do the green rainboots if I needed to!! Instead I opted from caramel brown accessories and some wacky bracelets that I never thought I’d wear again. Lucky me!

The dress is from Hey Viv! Vintage. She has repro 50s style clothing (think poodle skirts and crinolines!)+ vintage and an etsy store with only super awesome vintage and really really great prices. Definitely a place I’ll be haunting. Let her know Jessica sent you!!
