Sweatshirt: J. Crew, Leaf pin: Gap, Dress: vintage, Belt: thrifted
Sweater tights: TJ Maxx, Boots: L.L. Bean
Back in the early spring (March or April, I think), I snatched up three of the most perfect vintage dresses in one shopping trip at my favorite thrift store. The first was a sweet brown gingham, the second a lovely green & pink floral, and the third, pictured here, a deep green topped with orange and cranberry floral medallions. Oh so perfect for autumn! Can I just gush a little bit over how truly wonderful this dress is? Okay, thanks. The fabric weight is nice and sturdy making it perfectly suited for the colder months. Next up, the length: not too short, not too long, but just right! The full skirt (always fun for twirling) features one pocket. Score! One dress pocket is better than none. Lastly, but definitely not least, comfortable sleeves and a Peter Pan collar. Pretty autumn dress, you're my favorite!
Alright, I think all of that is out of my system now ;)

You look lovely in that lovely dress that is oh so lovely! I am digging your boots too.
I have recently come to terms with the fact that I dislike myself in brown. I love the idea, I love it on other people, but cannot stand it on myself. Who knows why? Guess I'm just too in love with my blacks and whites. And reds, of course.
Love the dress and your boots are most excellent too!
That dress is amazing! It's so autumn-like and goes so well with the rest of your outfit!
I just love Peter Pan collar too! I've seen quite a few dresses at Zara...
I am just like you, I like cinnamon on more or less everything!
Such a lovely dress and a perfect shade of green for you. You look like a creature of the forest, of the fairy variety, not an animal, obviously!
That is possibly the most perfect dress I have ever seen!!
i think if i saw this dress myself in a thrift shop i would think of you immediately!
I am gushing over the cuteness of your vintage dress, too! You have the best luck in thrift stores. Seriously. Love your L.L. Bean boots, too! You may be in New York, but you are sooo New England. ^_^ Miss you bunches, friend!
LOVE your dress and the boots are amazing!!! I've been looking for a pair just like those.
