A white, knit, sheath dress. Mr. ETB blurted out, "Are you going to wear it without underwear, like everyone wore that sort of thing in the 70's?" I suppose it is a bit vintage looking. I will indeed be wearing undergarments, and am presently looking for a full-slip in the correct length. I do not, however have a clue what sort of shoes/boots one is supposed to wear with this sort of dress. This is likely why I've never gone for winter white. That, and I live on a farm. I wonder how long the dress will last before it gets splashed with mud getting in or out of the car? I paid $4.00 for it (new! How fantastic is that?) so I suppose it wouldn't be a terrible loss.
My fashion sense still firmly rooted in 1972, I bought this dress. I need a large, straw bag with flowers on it. Maybe a floppy hat. This dress set me back $7.00.
I hadn't really invested in clothing since Danny was born, as we had so many other expenses, and who needs nice frocks to have a child spit up all over them? He spit up an awful lot. Really, and awful lot. Still, I was starting to look a bit shabby, so I've slowly been replacing the shirts with frayed collars, worn shoes, and moth-eaten sweaters. I think my $11.00 was well spent, but if he spits up on any of them, I'm going to be annoyed.

The white dress would look great with some leggings and a pair of boots. I would wear it. Vintage is chic!
The second dress is oohlala.
But what colour? Anything dark would show through. Maybe I really should forgo the foundations ;)
Boots would probably look better than my old, grey pair of Chuck Taylors that have, "LEFT" and "RIGHT" written on the toe, eh?
All these dresses are really long on me as I'm not-quite 5 foot 2.
My fashion choice usually includes throwing a men's flannel shirt over everything. Actually that might work with the Chuck Taylor's nicely!
Be warned though this advice is coming from someone who wears orange shoes and carries purses from the 40's.
That white dress looks like the one Lindsay Loughan wore to court....
So that's it-I'll wear the dress with a few too many pints...and a lawyer ;)
BTW, I *love* that Peter Max looking dress. And with a floppy straw hat?! Perfection! I'd be proud to go out shopping at the Farmer's Market with you (as long as you dress me up in some equally chic period coolness).
Cool-do I get to give you a perm?
Haha! I never thought of that, but OK. Then put me in a dashiki and I'll look like Micky Dolenz from The Monkees (white-guy 'fro (in 2nd+ seasons; they gave him a straight-hair wig in Season 1) and hippie clothes).
