Vintage Floral

My two favourite things, 50s silhouettes and vintage inspired floral prints. If a dress looks like it could have once been curtains, chances are I'll love it.

This is one of my current work outfits, so it's Sportsgirl of course.

wearing- Sportsgirl Gemma 50s dress $99.95, cafe society belt $16.95,
Betts nude heels



mix of sportsgirl bracelets, old sportsgirl flower ring, lucky star nails $7.95, fuchsia lipstick $9.95


The large floral print on white reminds me of the dress Marilyn wore for a scene in her last film 'Something's got to give' in 1962, which was left unfinished. They also both have a higher neckline with a v in the back.


For those of you that love her as much as me, here's the scene with the dress.

    you look fabulous in the dress girl! You look girly and vintage chic! I love the accessories too, yup, I love curtain material too, but I'm not sure it can look as fabulous on me though. The MM picture is gorgeous, I love the back of the dress, she is so timeless.
