Vintage Holly Homemaker





This dress is old. Years. But, the most modern thing about it is not the full-length button-up back, or the see-through stitching near the bottom hem: it's Pockets!  Two pockets in the front that blend into the dress are my favorite thing and instantly ups any dress's cool quota.  Of course I had to go with a white cardi (NY&Co.) on a super humid day, but I don't mind the length of the dress which is a little longer than what I like.  It has a fitted and flared bottom so it's comfy for things like sitting in an office all day long.  We call it my vintage Holly Homemaker dress at home, since you could do all your housework, chase after kids, and make dinner in it.  My braided white and gold gladiator sandals have seen better days as well, but I just can't give them up yet.

Aqua and Gold



Without thinking about what my favorite color is, I'd have to just say blue in all it's shades since that is what most of my wardrobe consists of.  I must love it a ton, because I often pair blue with more blue and though my cardi looks a bit minty green, it's actually a lighter blue.  I purchase my first piece of gold jewelry. WOWZA.  Like, really, my first piece of gold jewelry for myself, ever.  I've always been into silver. Why not add gold?  This lovely mirrored gold pendant from Kate Spade Saturday is my new favorite thing!  Aqua and gold go so well together, and even though the pendant is larger and heavier than what I'm used to- I just love it!
