There just ain't no cure. It may be only January, but I am already itching to get out the pale blue cotton frocks of sumer.
This is a 1950s R & K Originals dress I thrifted in November. It cost me $5. Oh yes, it's in wonderful shape and fits me just perfectly. Featuring rhinestone buttons, a pintuck bodice, and a built-in crinoline, I can't wait 'til it's warm enough to wear it!!
Then this late '60s cutie is from the lovely Dandelion Vintage store. I got it in late summer, and didn't get enough chances to enjoy it while the weather was appropriate. It reminds me of something Sissy Spacek might've worn in Badlands. Here's a couple li'l snapshots from greener days:
Clearly I've made a grave mistake by remaining in such a cold climate all these years, hehe. Well, as soon as I'm done with college (oh, and have some dough to spare), I think it may be "goodbye, Northern land" for this cold-hating weakling. Though I will say this for our cold Vermont winters: they are spectacularly pretty, and they make one appreciate the summer's sweetness all the more.
Look at all of those pretty dresses!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of you back in the good ole summertime. Summer is always my favorite. After living in Maine for so long I'm happy to be in Tennessee :O)

Love that five dollar dress!! You get the BEST prices xxxx

ReplyDeleteI can't wait for summer. It's been suprisingly mild over here which has started to make me long for spring as it feels like it's coming already ( wishful thinking).
ReplyDeleteYour Blue collection is lovely and that scenery behind you in your summertime pictures made my heart skip a beat.

What a thoroughly charming collection of indigo hued summer frocks you've amassed - I'm swooning over all of them (love the Eddie Cochran song title reference too, Summertime Blues has always been one of my favourite warm weather tunes).

That dress does remind me of Sissy Spacek a bit, although I think of it more of when she was on The Waltons. haha. GORGEOUS dress!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of all the dresses hanging together! Gorgeous finds.
ReplyDeleteOoh so much loveliness, can't wait to see you wearing all these come summer! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty collection of dresses! I'm starting to miss the warm weather too.. and it hasn't even been that cold lately! I just am tired of having to cover up my outfits with bulky coats.
ReplyDeleteI think you should consider Nashville, I read your blog all the time and I admire your dedication to your 'style'. You would find like minded people here. We still have winter but nothing like Vermont!! Chin up, spring will be here before you know it.
ReplyDeleteI still wear my summer dresses during the harsh Chicago winters-- just with wool tights underneath and long coats over them! I'm envious of your blue dress collection, it's my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteOh look at all those glorious blue summery frock, I love your pics of life in Vermont so much! I'll miss them if you move, but one must explore the world! Oh I love Dandelion Vintage too and buy little treasures from Carol whenever I can too:)) xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat positively pretty dresses! Your collection is just the dreamiest. You would love it here in the south, in Georgia it's been pretty warm most of the winter! I have been 'cheating' by wearing my cotton summer dresses with tights and cardigans. ;) I guess it is one of the perks of a snow-less winter!
ReplyDeleteYour dresses are beyond adorable! Love the pictures:))
ReplyDeletei love those dresses - the first photo is my favorite!
ReplyDeletei could get green with envy because of all your amazing dresses... i don't just love those blue ones, i adore the purple dress from last post so much and i'm totally in love with the new-years eve-dress. i would love to have them all in my closet... ;)
