As you know from past posts, I had done a dress swap with Quincy over at Q's Daydream with 2 fabulous dresses outta of the Dethrose closet. I could not have been happier with the pictures she's taken with the dresses! Quincy and I share our love for the 50's on our blogs and in our wardrobes quite often. So I thought what better than to have her model my favorite late 40's and 50's dresses. Yesterday I received an email from Quincy linking me to her blog and I can't tell you how great the photos are! This Brings me to my Spotlight on Quincy from Q's Daydream ! Although I have never met Quincy in person, her Blog and Shop have such a great energy and joy to them, It feels like I have met her. Thats the great thing about blogging and sharing our passions with others who can understand the love of putting life back in to something once its been tossed.
Enjoy getting know Quincy!
I just adore the way Quincy put the accessories together. Really giving it a sweet Southern feel! Thank again lady for making it look so adorable!! For questions, or if you are interested in the dress email me at dethrosevintage@gmail.com.
