double trouble

Disclaimer: Double outfit post! Picture heavy.

Just got this delightful dress from ModCloth, it's such a fun print and a versatile cut. Had a little bit of fun today styling it up in a more retro, vintage way and then again, in a more modernized, casual way.

I bought this one tube of red lipstick last summer to be Snow White for a costume party, and I never would have foreseen how many times it's come in handy! See two posts below, wore it for the 20s themed party also.

Hope you've having a relaxing week.

    Lovely! The first outfit was like the sophisticated mother and the second was her fun-loving daughter... haha.

    Love that dress (I can't even keep up with the amount of dresses I want from ModCloth)!

    The yellow coat is so stylish and chic in the first look and the keds give a cool, relaxed vibe in the second look. Overall, you're right, that dress is really a fun and versatile look.

    I love the vintage look of the first outfit! I've been lusting after that dress for a while, and now I've got some ideas of how to style it! :) I also really like the second outfit, a little more casual but still darling. :)

    That mustard jacket is adorable! I live in New Zealand and we are just coming into Winter at the moment and I have been looking for something similar to get me through the colder months!

    I love that you've got multiple stylings going on! The bright pops of color are great (the jacket is a winner in my book). But know what else is a runaway favorite? Your amazing shoes.

    Love this :D I actually just did something similar. Though both of my versions of a dress are pretty girly and not super casual. That dress is so amazing. I love it paired with the cute yellow jacket :D
