I could not resist this dress! It is just so much fun! It's one of those pieces you can wear and you know without a doubt that no one will show up wearing the same thing! It's definitely a conversation piece and I just love it! The tan background and the nude heels are the perfect compliment to the pops of primary colored alligators! I wish this dress really fit me- I pinned it for the pictures! So I'm going to put it up for sale so someone else's life can be brightened by this amazing dress! Check for it on my Ebay page!
This is the alligator that lives in the canal behind my grandma's house in Florida!
This dress is very fun! It's "childish" but in an adult way. Great find!
ReplyDeleteyou are so right, Arielle! It's perfect for those of us who never want to grow up! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteIt's too bad it doesn't fit you because it looks fantastic on you.

DeleteLove this print, that's the great thing about vintage, you don't see patterns or colours like that every day!
ReplyDeleteso true! They don't make em like they used to!
DeleteI ....hate ......those ......alligators.
ReplyDeleteThe real kind. Not the ones on your adorable dress! (I love the yellow belt!)
LOL! somehow they are much cuter on a dress than they are in person!
DeleteThis dress is too cute! Totally goes with all the prints of small animals that are so big right now!
ReplyDeleteyou are so right! I love anything with animals on it!
DeleteYou styled this beautifully!
ReplyDeleteWell I'll be honest, this is one of your thrifts I was hoping would make it to ebay! :o) To be honest a second time, I probably won't win the bid though. I'm a cheap shopper. :o)
