Dot, dot, dot

I tell you - they got it right back in the day.  High waist on a dress?  Perfect for a growing bump.  I am in love with this vintage dress I picked up at the last Tandem Vintage sale.  What's not to love?  Polka dots and aqua?  The fact that this perfectly matches my white leopard print shoes from last fall?  Check, check and check!


The top of this dress is actually really fun and would be great on a warm day - but one, it's not that warm today and two, I need to give it a little love, it's missing one button and while my, ahem, "girls" are getting a bit bigger, they still don't quite fill out the top of this guy.  So I'll give it some alterations and it'll be perfect.  I know I'll get use out of it next summer too!

Dress - Tandem Vintage
Sweater - LEI, thrifted
Necklace, bracelet, earrings - swap with/CC
Shoes - Xhilaration, Target 


And go figure, it was cloudy and looking like rain when I was leaving the house today, so I said, fine, I'll just take my pictures at work today.  As soon as I got in - total sunshine outside.  Yep.  Oh well!

  2. So loving this dress on you, Beth! I totally know what you mean about the high waisted style. I LOVe it so much because I have a really short waist and those really flatter my shape!

  11. We had crazy weather changes today too. Stupid nature forgetting it's summer and it should be nice and sunny!

    I love the honesty on the dress - not fitting quite right up top, missing a button. But if you love it, glad you're wearin it rather than letting it languish in the closet!

  12. What a beautiful dress! The color is fantastic. I always love high waisted things anyway, but I'm sure they're especially great for pregnancy!
