Style It - The Zip and Go Dress
Let me begin by saying, I love this dress. The color is great, the peter pan collar is sweet and the ease of wearing a dress that zips down the front goes without saying.
The style of the dress reminded me a lot of Zooey Deschanel, so I've styled the first outfit with a bit of an indie flair. Perfect for a fall day, the suede jacket helps to make the dress a little less "young" and adds a little edge. And how fantastic is that feathered butterfly headband?
The second outfit styles the dress to look like separates. Remove the tie belt on the dress, top it with a v-neck sweater so just the collar is peeking out and add a pretty sky blue belt. The peacock feathered hair barette would look great pinned to one side with your hair up in a messy twist or beehive.

Style It - The Buckle Dress
I've decided I'd like to start a regular blog post that takes an item of vintage clothing and shows different ways of styling it. What do you think?
There are several great reasons to wear vintage, but if I had to pick my favorites, they would be the versatility of vintage items and their uniqueness. However, I've found that some people shy away from vintage clothing because they are afraid of looking dated or costumey.
Whether you style the item in a manner consistent with it's time period, or make it current is up to your taste and style preferences, but either way, it's easy to look fantastic in your one of a kind garment!
Here are two ways of styling the 1970's buckle dress I currently have in my shop.
The first version has a 70's feel without going too over the top. (I would suggest skipping the feathered hair and frosted lipstick if you want to avoid looking like an extra on "That 70's Show" ;) Loose layered waves and natural makeup would be a great compliment to this look.
The second look is perfect for the office or lunch with the girls. I would suggest styling it with a low chignon and pretty feminine make up. (Love how the little horseshoe charm gives it a bit of an equestrian touch!)
