Whatcha Wearing?
Vintage dress available here in my Etsy shop
Earrings from sulu-design / Ring from Day-Lab

I just about died when I found this dress at the thrift store a couple of months ago. Perfect condition and gorgeous! I didn't even let myself try it on until it was already listed for sale in my shop. Unfortunately now I know that it fits me perfectly. I feel like Joan from Mad Men with this on. Well, more like Joan minus some key (ahem) assets, but I still feel fabulous.

I never really wear earrings anymore since my hair is always covering my ears. I don't know why, but I never wear my hair pushed back like this. Maybe I should do it a few times this week and see how it feels since my longish hair might be gone soon. I'm doing another hair modeling job for Vidal Sassoon this weekend, so I'll likely have a whole new look next week!

I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy.
