vintage rock

front crop leg up crop dress
Vintage dress: Foley & Corinna. Boots: Emma Cook. Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
I thought I'd show this recent vintage wool find before it gets banished to the basement when it gets alot warmer. It actually hits below the knee but looks much better worn short (I love any short dress with sleeves which aren't that easy to come by I've noticed).
No I didn't lose my head (yet!) and slash it to this length. It's folded under, but it will be hemmed to the thigh to keep it feeling rock chick enough.

  10. Thanks guys for the comments!!

    Lauren B - I'll have to check out your blog ; ))

    Wendy B - The longer length was NOT a good shape. Hugging in wrong places (out at hips then in again to the leg ; (
