oh hello! i am dressed like a pilgrim on acid. or at least that’s how i like to describe it. i found this little guy at a vintage shop in the mission last weekend hanging up on a wall and immediately knew that it had to be mine. and wouldn’t you know, when they took it down from the wall and i tried it on, it was the perfect fit! i especially love the exaggerated collar and trippy psychedelic print. and for whatever reason, these little shift dresses, no matter how difficult they may be to wear, always find a way to sneak into my closet and beg me to wear them.
anyway, this is what i wore to a bbq/backyard show yesterday connecting with old friends that i hadn’t seen in a long while. the weather was actually warm here in oakland, and i was able to wear this little dress all day long without a sweater! that’s pretty miraculous considering just the day before it was freezing cold and raining. but that’s the way the weather is these days. now i’m off to partake in holiday weekend festivities!
dress: vintage mini dress from mission thrift
shoes: vintage salvatore ferragamo flats

Also, you are the queen of floating in pictures!

That dress is so pretty! I absolutely love the colors in it and the collar on it is amazing. Such an adorable look.
FANTASTIC pilgrim on acid dress (ha ha!)! Have a great weekend!
This dress is absolutely amazing. I make dresses and although I will never be able to find this fabric, I am interested in the collar and shape of this! You look spectacular, brave choice of colour, it totally works!

I love to see you rocking vintage again these days. And those will always be my favourite of your sunglasses. : )
This outfit reminds me of your last vintage dress–your “Velma” outfit–in that it looks like the Mystery Machine!
I just recently found your blog and I love it. I enjoy reading style blogs to help inspire my bored wardrobe and yet there are so many people blogging from the Midwest; not that that’s terrible or anything it just makes it more difficult to find inspiration to get dressed in morning when all I see are shorts and espadrilles from sunny Tulsa while living in the cold and ever-rainy Pacific Northwest. I can appreciate those sweater-and-rainboots kind of outfit posts. :]

Man, you’re making me want to wear shifts! So cute :)
Oh wow, I am so insanely jealous! Haha. I LOVE this dress! Any dress with a huge collar and fun print is a must for me. Absolutely fabulous!
That dress is so crazy! I love it! You look so awesome in it!
‘pilgrim on acid’ is the best caption for an outfit yet!! and you look great.
thank you for your wonderful blog ;)
A pilgrim on acid?! hahaha! I love that!
You really do have a knack for pulling off amazing little shift dresses. Frankly, everything about this outfit is just right, from your covetable Ferragamos to the oversized collar on the dress. <3
Hahaha, this is great! It looks really good on you.
I wish I could wear shifts, I really love the style of them, but they just are NOT flattering on me. Sometimes I can get away with one if I belt it, but that ruins the idea of them in a way. Oh well.
like i said before, i love you in vintage!! seriously, it just works so well with your little bob. all your new dress purchases should be vintage!
Saw the post title and the picture and automatically thought “psychedelic pilgrim.” haha I love it!
Another fantastic print. I’m so jealous of the abundance of good vintage in your area.
You look too chic, dear! Those colors are amazing! I love your sunglasses with them.
Loving that collar.
Amazing colours! And you pull it off really well – I don’t think I’d be able to pull off that much brightmess. I love the collar as well
Cute dress.. I love the print :)
omg you are beyond adorable in this outfit. plus, you have such great legs!
That’s a great thrifted find! I can never find stuff like that where I live unfortunately.
ooooh, totally pilgrim on acid. Hahahah, i love the dress and the shades! (:
Oh! and btw, i sent you the questions for my interview for my blog. Thanks a bunch again!
