Tantalizing Teal

A vintage 40s style dress in a lovely shade of teal

 

Vintage heels with a fun bow and just a hint of teal

Accesorized with this ultra glam beaded necklace, with shades of orange and teal and a pop of purple.

Vertical Vertigo

Stripes have fun on this dress from Sportmax.

 

Balance all those lines with some simple circular jewelry.

And this "Lizze" pump from Lola Ramona ties it all together - stripes on the heel and circles on the bow.

Summer Festival

Start with a pink leopard-print patent leather pump from Jimmy Choo.

 Add a retro white-and-black polka dot dress.

Front View - Back View

Accessorize with a chunky necklace that brings together the colour scheme and adds some lime green pop. (I had to crop the pic of the necklace because the original had a truly hideous charm attached to it.)

Like Bees To Honey

I adore this dress from Unique Vintage! It's so retro-chic with a houndstooth pattern, empire waist, and Peter Pan collar.

With houndstooth-and-yellow pumps from oh...Deer!

And a bumblebee bracelet from Etsy and a bracelet with black Swarovski crystals by Alyssa Smith.

Archimedes Would Be Green With Envy

On the TV show thirtysomething, my favorite character was Melissa, the insecure rebellious artsy photographer. Melissa had a fantastic apartment and she wore an unforgettable winter coat that was emblazoned with numbers. When I saw this dress by Ischiko, I knew I just had to create an outfit. (Unbelievable as it may seem, this is a $300 dress!)

In looking for a jacket or sweater to add a splash of colour, I found this handknit bolero. Numbers and handknit? This outfit is an elementary school teachers dream.

As proof that anything can be found on Etsy, I present this necklace that incorporates the complete numbers/green theme.

And to complete the outfit, green shoes by Kathryn Kerrigan (which also, suspiciously, look like something an elementary school teacher might appreciate)

Sunset Romance

Sentimental, romantic, and dreamy. This dress by Betty Jackson conjures fantasies of dining at an elegant restaurant, sipping wine on the deck, watching the sun set over the water.

With silver sandals by Chinese Laundry

And this ultra-feminine rose quartz necklace (from Etsy)
