My Perfect Little Black Dress




A couple weeks ago Jonny told me that when I reached my 100th sale in my Etsy shop, I could get a very special dress. Well, I took this very seriously and started searching for that perfect dress long before that sale approached. Then I stumbled upon a new and wonderful little shop called Adeline's Attic. There were so many beautiful dresses I was overwhelmed! Dresses from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, ahhh, what a dream! Then, popped up this little 40s number, and that was it, I was in love! My perfect little black dress. Jonny was sweet enough to let me order it before my 100th sale. The funny thing is, is that it arrived in the mail the day of that sale! Perfect ;o)

Coat: Banana Republic
Purse: Chanel, I think, but I dunno, it's beautifully made.

    You're right, it's perfect! I love the collar, and it all suits you so well. Nothing beats the classic red/black/white combo, you look great. Awesome job getting to 100 sales also!!

    Little black dresses are the answer to every, ‘what should I wear to the’ question, from cocktail parties, night-clubs to the theatre.

    Love the outfit and the coat.

    Your dress is amazing (and your etsy store is amazing as well!) I can't get over how perfect and super cute your hair is! It reminds me a little of Selma Blair (her early years when she was still the cutest thing ever!)
