ways to wear it: bird print Andie dress [remix]

I ordered so much of this printed jersey knit when I came across it, and I'm glad I did because these bird print dresses were a hit in the shop.  A good black and white pattern is a good base for easy print and color mixing and this one did not disappoint.  With the addition of a few layers and accessories, it can be dressed up or down for work or play.  I loved this dress so much on the mannequin that I made one for my personal wardrobe and I wear it at least once a week; it's that good.

If you're interested in snagging one of these versatile dresses for yourself, I still have 1 available in my etsy shop (size small).  If you like the bird print but not the dress silhouette, I've got a few kimonos in my local shop and online as well (one size fits all).

day to day: wearing vintage

Out of all the tasks that come with running the shop, my favorite is styling the mannequins.  It's always a fun exercise in creativity to mix prints, patterns and textures, and it gives me a chance to style up pieces that I love before sending them to new homes.  I try to document as many outfits as possible (on my phone) so that I can look back and remember the really special items later on.  This is just a small selection of the looks I've put together over the last year.  Most of them are neck-to-knee vintage with handmade jewelry, and there are a few handmade dresses thrown in (often mixed with vintage pieces) for good measure.  I love the look of vintage clothing styled in a modern way; it's eclectic, unique, and endlessly cool.
