today, the weather is perfect for my favorite take on transitional costumery: a summer dress paired with new fall boots!
i loved this vintage dress the moment i first saw it in the brook+lyn boutique, but the last time i wore it i couldn't shake the feeling that the shape could be more flattering. so, last night i hemmed it up about 7 inches (leaving it a little longer in the back for optimum bum-coverage).
i was so pleased with the result that i took the scalpel to a few other summer frocks as well! as the weather continues to cool, i think they're going to look great as minis, paired with opaque tights and my (fingers crossed!) future thigh-high boots...
for now at least, i've got the the perfect boot for bare-legs: the aida in grey suede from coach. you all know i'm a sucker for anything that comes with gold chains attached!
wearing: custom-made hat, coach sunnies, self-designed apparition necklace, vintage dress, belt + bag, la perla bustier, verameat knuckle ring, boot courtesy of coach

I love this outfit. I wish I were able to wear something so light weight up here. I'm away from the city right now for school and it's ridiculously cold already. (50 degrees with crazy wind). =(
this dress is divine
excellent
Do you have the cuff of the boots turned up? Love a slightly higher but not over-the-knee boot!
@ dorge: yes, i'm wearing them with the cuff turned up. i think they're the perfect height this way!
