Tiggy Floral from Joanie Clothing

This month I'm bringing out a 70's vibe with a new style from Joanie Clothing.  The Tiggy Floral Print is just gorgeous and completely feminine!  I don't recall wearing a burnt orange color and I'm absolutely loving it.  The fabric is polyester and has a full lining.  The style is perfect for windy spring days.  The sleeves are also a nice change!  The whimsical sleeve with the fitted wrist band is a really great touch.  The midi dress falls mid calf and has a very full skirt.  The neck is a crossover style and does plunge pretty low, so you may want to wear a cami if you aren't comfortable with the cut. The wide fitted waistband is flattering and the zipper is in the back. I love a pretty floral print and this Joanie Dress has it going on!  It has just the right amount of pattern if you are someone who doesn't particularly gravitate towards florals.  The white and different shades of green foxgloves on the orange background is gorgeous! I think this a dress you'll be happy to have in your collection. 

Joanie Clothing offers sizes in UK 8-22.  I would go by the clothing size chart when ordering and for this Tiggy Dress I recommend sizing up as there is no stretch.  Since 2015 Joanie Clothing has been dedicated to making high quality vintage reproduction clothing that women can feel great wearing.  Whether you are looking for a casual style or a wedding dress, you'll find something at Joanie to wear! I have always been pleased with the quality and friendly service! Joanieclothing.com has it all, so head over to the site and prepare yourself to fall in love! 

I chose to accessorize with green and orange, a combo that I would normally not think about, but I like the way it turned out!  My earrings are from the 'everything going green" collection from Retro Verte. They are 1940's inspired bakelite replicas. Her earrings are available in clip ons too. You can Retro Verte on Etsy. There you'll see authentic vintage clothing, reproduction items and of course fabulous accessories!  The necklace is a vintage piece from For Guys and Gals, I love the orange and white! I wore green and white heels from Lola Ramona to tie in the theme.

Cobalt Green Birds- Lady V London

Lady V London has really outdone themselves with the new Spring 18 collection!  This Hepburn Dress in Cobalt Green Birds will have you looking looking like a million bucks!  The pattern is just stunning!  It features peach and pink flowers, cobalt blue flowers with bold green leaves and pastel teal background.  The combination is a true beauty!  The Hepburn style has a high rounded neckline and a fitted bodice.  The skirt is very full and I wore a petticoat with it to add to the fullness.  I love the length as it falls below the knee.  It has a zipper in the back and comes with the pretty pink detachable waist belt. This dress is so feminine and modest, it can be worn anywhere.  It would make a great bridal shower or date night dress.  Wear it anytime you want a pick me up or to stand out in the crowd! 

You can get this dress is sizes from UK 8-28. It does have some slight stretch to it, but check the sizing chart on their website.  Lady V London is always a top choice of mine!  Their quality and style is top notch every time. 

I had fun putting together accessories for this look and just decided to use all the colors!  

I wore my Aria Bettie Page Shoes in Peach.  They are the perfect heels for comfort and style!  My bag is a vintage reproduction from Lola Von Rose and it is always a fun piece to accessorize with.  I wore a mix of bangles from Splendette in pink and blue.  They are glitter and carved fakelite styles. I brought the green out with green and white glitter Sweetheart Rose Confetti Fakelite earrings from Retro Verte. Finally, my amazing hair piece is from Shazam Pin Up Hair Flowers.  They are a Special Edition Rose Peony Cascade Tropical Tiki Pale Pink & Pale Green.  It's a stunning piece for sure! They have a whole collection of the cascading styles and I highly recommend one.

Mint Maritime for March

Spring is just around the corner and bulbs starting to bloom. The leaves are coming back lush and green and you need a new dress to make you feel great after the long winter season!  The Mint Maritime Modern Dress from Karina Dresses is just what the doctor ordered.  You can call yourself the doctor!  This Katharine Dress features a new Karina Signature print for 2018.  The modern print is something that I don't wear often and I really liked it!  The green and white geometric pattern with tiny blue accent dots is a gorgeous combo!  It literally screams March!  I love the modest style of the Katharine.  It has a fitted waistband with a tie belt and a very full skirt.  It falls at knee length. The neck is also nice as it is a high rounded neckline. I feel great wearing this dress! You can also get it in different prints, but I think this one is perfect!  You'll also be happy to know that the Karina Dresses are all wrinkle free and can be your best travel items.

Helena Dress- Trashy Diva

If you are looking for a dress that turns heads, look no further than the Helena from Trashy Diva.  It's a stunner!  You can dress this up as much as you would like or you style it more casual.  The halter design features an open back with straps that you can tie in multiple different ways for many different looks!  It's like having several dresses in one!  I love the feel of the soft rayon material with the Helena.  It has a concealed back zip.  The ankle length and full skirt make for a very dramatic look that I love as well!  I recently wore this to a red carpet event.  The Helena is available in several prints from polka dots to tropical.  It's also available in wide range of sizes from 0-22.
