During a routine stalking/wishlisting of Topshop's clothing collection, I came across this trend of dressing like a 60's Dollybird in fantastically bright swingy shift dresses. I love the great flower detailing at the end of the sleeves and dress hem, as well as the fun beachiness of the crocheted dresses. Personally, I am partial to the orange and blue shift dresses, but I am tempted to get all of them! Who could resist a dress that looks like it came out of the closets of Jane Asher and Jean Shrimpton?!

Love the dresses, but there really is nothing like the real thing!
Thank you very much ACC! Though I can't take credit, I pretty much stole it from Topshop and just did a screen shot of the dresses. I'm awful! :)
xxo
Isn't it Jessica? I think it's that nice (and rare) shade that can look good on any skin tone and make you look healthy ... and NOT like a giant carrot!
Emma B - too true! If my life was a movie, all of my 'costumes' would be vintage pieces!
I am looking at the link to your name Emma and this site is INCREDIBLE!! So many lustworthy pieces of vintage and archived clothing!!
I've just discovered your blog, and now I'm a little bit in love with it. :) I could have left this comment on any of your other posts, but I wanted to say (on a slightly irrelevant note) that I am a huge Tom Petty fan, and it made me very happy to see a quote from his lyrics as the title for this!
Hi Miki!
I'm so happy you found my blog! I adore Tom Petty and I've been waiting to use these lyrics on a post about dresses worthy of their greatness haha!
Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!
