The model in this photo, Alexa Chung, has style I truly admire. She has a way of making lace look cool when others resemble "American Girl" dolls. (That's right, I'm talking about Samantha, Felicity, Molly, ... is there another one?)Alexa's style feels fresh and new, yet has an Audrey Hepburn quality that makes it irresistible. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to have those killer legs either...
To recreate this style, check out a vintage shop. I was recenlty in Bygones
in Richmond where I stumbled upon a great vintage (never-worn) shoe collection and some amazing 1920's dresses with detailing similar to the lace featured in this inspiration board. Better yet, each were under $70!
I'm ready for a wardrobe revival, are you?

I love that little dress in the upper corner -- where's it from?
ReplyDeleteOh and I totally had molly. I'm pretty sure that she was the dorky one.
That one is by Modcloth :-)
ReplyDeleteI had Samantha - Was Molly the one with the glasses? I definitely had the matching outfits and everything. Scary.
Oh, the good ol' days.
Hugs,

hehe i had molly too! was resentful as my mom gave my one sister samantha and me molly and i was like umm why can't i be the pretty, feminine one with more dresses?! but i love the black dress, too. i like the simple but unique neckline. i've been looking for things like that that have a solid color base but enough detail that you dont have to wear alot of jewelry. very nice!
