opened

Dress: Thrift. Necklace: Daha Vintage. Stone & snake ring: East village shop. Wings ring: Random NY shop
I already know that all I want to wear are long dresses all summer long.
This vintage one zips up at the back but I like the idea of adjusting it to expose skin and balance out the front.

  27. I love the dress and I like the way you adjusted it to have an open back. It looks much better with the open back than zipped up all the way. Great colors in the dress as well! xo

  45. I share the same sentiment. I've been searching everywhere for maxi dresses, skirts and crop tops paired with little ankle boots for the spring/summer. I can't really see it any other way ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  46. love that dress, and you should definitely wear it this summer with the back unzipped like that! it looks great!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Leizel B - I saw that dress on their website. It's just my kind of dress too but way too much $$$. Better off hunting down something similar in a thrift shop.

    Blqvixenbeauty - its Pixel Pretty by Sally Hansen. Still my fave teal after getting it last summer.

    Ashley - thx. I wanted to make the pics a bit vintagey.

    Lady Bird - I always miss you when I see you comment and think 'omg she's there!!' thank you. Let's hit some flea markets/second hand shops when I get back in London!

    Styledigger - wow - thank you!

    Joyce - yea it looks a too enclosed zipped up.

    Thx guys. I'll have it adjusted to stay as an open back dress ; )

  56. AMAZING dress.. I love long dresses too in the summer.. and I like that this one has an open back so it does balance the fit of the front. So nice!

    Ediot - thx and same to you!

    Ashley - of course I highly recommend you do. It's addictive.
