Spring gets me excited about fashion like no other. Especially in MN, it's hard to rock a cute outfit when its bloody cold out and heels are not an option.
This year I'm feeling drawn to vintage dresses with a 50's vibe, bold colors, and prints. These dresses may require tights for a while yet, but hope is on the horizon! The best thing about 50's styles is how they emphasize shapely, feminine curves with a nipped waistline. Just add pumps for a truly flattering silhouette.
Here are some examples from my favorite bloggers:
 |
| Iris in a recent fave on Fashion Zen. I want those glasses! |

Adorbs-balls Keiko Lynn, whom I am now stalking thanks to my sister in law.

My virtually non-existent shopping budget is a challenge, but I found an adorable sundress at Goodwill for $3 last week! I also scoured the nearby Marshall's for deals and clearance items that can be altered. I'd love to find some frocks like these!
