Crème de Menthe
Another mention of our local monthly antique and collector’s fair as I'm wearing a dress I bought there last month for $5. Mint colored 60s lace dress in minty condition? Yes, please! Also wearing leather late 60s/early 70s lace up go go boots. This outfit was tested out on the dance floor at a recent Fleshtones/Troublemakers show, and it held up to the boogie rather nicely. I need to be able to move with the groove so not all outfits make the cut!

Goldielocks the cat, adopted us last year, priceless

I LOVE how you put an outfit together- the fact that the ensemble must hold up to real life shenanigans is priceless: can i dance in it? can i drink in it? will it hold my food baby? check. Looking stinkin' GORGEOUS as ever, girl! xo. -Bella Q

ReplyDeletegorgeous, totally gorgeous! Wish I could have been there grooving along too, although you might have boogied me right off the dance floor with boots like that, woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteGreat vintage look!! Bravo girl! And I love mint! :)
ReplyDeleteDreamboat Annie! Once again a superb outfit - can't believe you scored that dress for $5, as for those boots well... *les swoon* xxx
ReplyDeleteI adore those go go boots. They bring me back to my youth, when I lusted after them. With a yearning that can't be described. Back then, I had no opportunity to wear them and that just made the urge worse. I'm happy to see them on your happy feet!
ReplyDeleteGreat score on the dress! I keep missing the antique fair, I haven't been in so long! I definitely need to make it in August...
