Harmony in My Head »

I'm especially excited today because we had our second Etsy sale, and it was the first vintage dress we've sold on the Etsy store!

This piece is particularly girly and pretty for an 80s dress, since it's got the crazy sleeves and heavy damask pattern. Leah fell in love with it upon finding it, and purchased it for herself even though it's a size too large.

She then passed it to me, and alas, it was too small. So, though heartbroken neither of us could fit into it, we listed it on Etsy, and it became one our first items on Meri Vintage. Now, it will have a lovely new home in Canada.One Shoulder Prom Dress

This sale is a big milestone for the store. We're always complimented individually on our styles, and we knew this store could work. Now, you're all showing us some love and helping us get this puppy off the ground. :)

I teamed up with Chictopia to do this post on "My (Adventurous) Day in Cotton." Friend Annah, (who is not pictured) and I headed out to Fisgard Lighthouse for an oceanside day of delight. I was very grateful to be wearing this light 1960's day dress that I snagged on Etsy... for it was a very hot day, despite the refreshing sea breeze.view more

As my readers know, I am a fan of - see: perpetually in - vintage dresses. With all of the era silhouettes and colours, I love browsing the vintage dress section on Chictopia for inspiration with styling!

A few days before I moved, I snapped some outfit photos at my job with a friend and co-worker. Caitlin is lovey, well-dressed, and a talented artist to boot! She constructed me this cute sign for our farewell photo shoot.

I am not huge on dressing for summer weather. I'm happy in a sundress, but trying to throw on blouses when it's sweltering and humid isn't much fun. Maybe this is an opportunity to get better at dressing for hot weather... or maybe I'll just hide in the shade!
