What I Wore to Work :: The Demise of Alice

This is my Alice dress. Alice in Wonderland that is. That is, until Sunday. I had decided to wear this frock to work Sunday, which happened to be the day of the Vintage Garage. Bad decision indeed. Why I thought it was necessary to wear a thin Nylon dress to load vintage in and out of a building and my car still baffles me. Sadly this dress is now in much need of repair. And not simple, "oh I busted a seam" repair. More like a giant tear at the shoulder and the waist tie belt is no longer attached. Now I only have these photos as a memory of its late beauty.


Adorable right? *sigh*

What I Wore to Work :: My Dear

The other day I had to head to Detroit, Michigan unexpectedly. Only there for about 36 hours, I knew I had to hit up one of my favorite vintage broads, Lauren from Dear Golden Vintage. As per usual, Lauren was up for a fun visit and full of hospitality. Whiskey Smashes, dinner, and your basic Tom Foolery. And before you ask the obvious question, yes, of course I shopped her inventory. While gabbing and laughing, I was sifting through the racks and I spotted this number. I put it on immediately and did not take it off. Fit me like a glove and it brightened me up rather rapidly!! 

So this "What I Wore to Work" post is all about the dress:) 
Not only did I spot this dress, I also spotted the bag! My "Karyn" perfect handbag, giant, woven and leather. I seriously can not have too many! You have any?? Sell them to me!!! 
Locket ~ Antique Mall in Michigan
Bead & Gold Necklace ~ Gift from MERL
Ring/Bracelet ~ Thrift 
 
Something tells me I will have this dress and handbag for a very long time. Check out the rest of Lauren's inventory at Dear Golden HERE.
