Holidays... a time to go over the top

A lot of times, I feel as though regular fashionistas and casual girls just don't know where they would wear some of the over-the-top vintage dresses that emerge on the market. Sure, that's a beautiful 1950s dress but where on Earth would you ever wear it!? For me, the answer is always holidays and special occasions. And in this case: Easter! Easter is the perfect occasion to don a beautiful spring dress from an era long passed. Tea length and knee length dresses are perfect, and beautiful boho maxi dresses can be a great option, too!

Today I chose a beautiful 1950s dress with pretty pastel pistachio silk organza that's embroidered with pretty flowers and interspersed between pastel blue floral cutouts. The sleeves and neckline are darling, with scalloped-type edges that go with the carefully placed flower petals. I'm not sure where this dress was made, or by whom, but the time and care put into it is astounding. I've been holding onto this one for months just to wear it today.

Holidays make it so easy to get away with dressing up and dressing darling. Why wear a cookie-cutter dress from the mall when you can get something one of a kind and so chic?

We had a lovely Easter lunch at the in-laws house and I got to see some blossoms sprouting up out of their flowerbeds.  We had delicious Greek bread made by a local Greek grocery, lamb and lots of other delicious goodies.

The dress will be for sale in the shop soon, but in the mean time you should daydream up your next holiday outfit!

SHOP UPDATE: Simply DOTTY

POLKA DOTS are in this season! Bold, and certainly readily accessible, this is one trend that will constantly be in style. Polka dots are timeless and easy to pair with more muted fabrics. Have a dull black sweater that you still love because it's just so cozy? Spice it up by adding a little polka dot underneath. Go big and bold with a polka dot statement piece. Play with color. Invite it into your growing nautical wardrobe. Let it flutter in the wind on a summer day.

Despite the insane amount of winter coming our way here in New England, I'm just ready for SPRING to come! Photographing these beauties makes me long for the days of 70 degrees and sunny skies. Longer days and shorter nights and more outdoor adventure sounds right up my alley.

When I am out shopping for the Foxburrow Vintage Spring/Summer collection I'm looking for silks and light weight polyesters and rayons. Floaty fabrics and delicate knits. Pastel colors and pretty details. Nautical themes and classic pieces. Chunky shoes and wicker basket bags. Leather belts and pretty scarves.

On the men's end of things, I haven't been able to do much hunting for the fellows... but it's on my to-do list!

Tomorrow I'm off to an exciting looking estate sale... a pile of 50s hats caught my eye and sealed the deal. We'll see what kind of gems I find!
