Coolest. Dress. Ever. (warning: fluffy vanity post ahead)

[eyesroll]

This was the vintage disco dress I was trying to find shoes for. I finally had an occasion to wear it again, and I actually remembered to get a picture (sorry for the low photo quality -- it was all I could do to get it to a reasonable size).



Thanks, everyone, for the shoe advice. As you can see, I found a pair of close-toed shoes that matched perfectly. I will now stop whoring for attention and will resume watching the flame wars.

1. Where are you going all dressed up

and sparkly like that? :)

[eyesroll]

3. I was attending a play.

A campy, melodramatic Webber play.
OK, it was Phantom. Flame if you must.

Still.
I had fun.

2. C'est cool, oui

You have much better taste than Jenna, who would have worn lime green shoes with that dress.

And your smile is much better, too. :D

[eyesroll]

4. Aww...thank you, SS!

I did try on a pair of fuscia shoes, just to see if they'd work...um, no. :D

5. Nice!

Going dancing in it?

[eyesroll]

8. See above.

I did end up at an equally campy bar/lounge after the play...it was appropriate. :-)

12. I bet it was!

Nice shoes, too... I'm not normally too fashion-conscious but I do love when you find the perfect shoes/earrings to go with a nice dress like that. :)

Hercules might get pissed.

10. Hi BabyDoll!

Looks like some of the stuff at my vintage store, so I can say with complete professionalism, that you look great!

11. *ahem*

WHO helped you pick out the dress? :eyes:


And yes, you look smashing in it. ;)

[eyesroll]

13. Thank you.

OK, everyone, yes...whoisalhedges helped me pick out the dress. He even helped me zip it up in the dressing room (before I figured out how to do it myself -- which is good, seeing as how we're not together anymore and it would be remarkably tacky for me to call him and say, 'hey, hedges, can you come over to my place to zip me up so I can go out on a date?' But I digress.)

14. "Lookin' for some hot stuff baby this evenin'.......

I need some hot stuff baby tonight
I want some hot stuff baby this evenin'
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some lovin' tonight......"

I don't know, for some reason the sounds of Donna Summer erupted in my head.

You look great.

[AmandaRuth]

15. wow-great dress

[fluffernutter]

16. i love vintage clothing, you look awesome!

the shoes are perfect - very nice :)

[eyesroll]

18. Vintage stuff tends to fit me better...

I'm only 5'2", and I guess people were shorter a few decades ago or something...

Thanks, fluffernutter (and everyone else). :D

I freely admit I'm trolling for attention today. :puffpiece:

Looks great.

[prolesunited]

24. So, did you where your trench coat over it?

How cute was the sales clerk?

You look fabulous, dahling. :*

[Susang]

25. You look beautiful in that dress

But your hair need WAY more curl, young lady! Don't you own a curling iron? Do I have to teach you children everything?

[RetroLounge]

26. Yow!

Does it work with the vintage trench coat ($35, did I mention that?)

:D
