Wardrobe | A Genius Little Dress
How does one wear a little green dress, pair it with tights, and not look like Robin Hood? I suppose leaving behind the feathered cap I tried on helped a bit. (No joke! I thought about wearing this feathered cap. That is actually what tipped me off to the overtly Robin Hood-like characteristics of this outfit) Nixing the bow and arrow and riding my bicycle instead of a horse helped a bit too.
In the end, the addition of navy tights, navy oxfords, and a navy beret made me feel decidedly less like a rogue Earl of Locksley and more like a pretty girl from the mod 1960s. Oh, and please check out the pockets on this dress! They are made from vintage fabric and have a genius placement on the back of the dress. Now I kind of want to sew pockets on the backs of some of my old and tired dresses.

Cute! And how darling are the blue buttons on your dress?! My favorite detail. :)

Ooooooooooh! That dress IS genius. Cute pocket detail. I don’t think you look like Robin Hood at all–unless Robin Hood was a much more stylish dresser ;-)
great!

Adorable dress! I love green. Today I’m wearing a full on green dress, and my hubby called me his st. patricks girl… not exactly what I was going for. So kudos to you for making the green dress fabulous!
These pics are gorgeous! Perfect location for a super cute outfit!

Love it! My husband is from Sebring so this all looks so familiar :)!

I absolutely adore your style. <3
What a cute outfit! Those pockets are darling! Perfect with the tights and hat combo, just perfect.
Embrace your inner Sherwood outlaw :). But I’m really bad for turning getting dressed into dressing up…
I am in awe of your thrifted shoes, I can never find anything a) that nice that b) fits my totally un-vintage sized feet! Really lovely outfit, and the composition of your photographs sets it off really well – the colour of the shop front is a perfect backdrop. x
I’m a little in love with that dress right now.
You look adorable! I love that dress!
oh goodness you do look like a female robin hood but it’s awesome!
