Today is all about this sweet little vintage sundress. Why? Because even though the calendar says September, it's almost 90 degrees and 80% humidity outside today. That means it is still sundress weather; and, of course, that means it's Vintage Sundress weather!
This super cute little vintage sundress is late 70's to early 80's. Double layers of fine light cotton in the bodice and the skirt keep this romantically boho vintage sundress from being too sheer while still nice and light.
Of course, once the weather turns cooler, that doesn't mean you have to pack your vintage sundress away 'til next year, it just means it's time to get creative with layering!
There are so many cute things you can do with a vintage sundress to make it wearable for most of the year!
A basic cardigan over the top, with a little belt is the simplest way to add some warmth to a vintage sundress.
This vintage sundress would look great with a vintage blazer or leather jacket as well.
Add a t-shirt underneath, plus tights and boots for a really cute and trendy look!
Some fun ideas on wearing a sundress in the winter follow, they come from the website: http://www.collegefashion.net/.
I love the long cardigan in a coordinating color with the skinny belt! The black belt and black tights tie it all together and the brown riding boots add an element of unexpected whimsy, plus practicality that really works.
I love this look too!
A little dressier, it's still a very practical way to wear a vintage sundress in cooler weather. Pink and black are always a great color combination and she's kept her sweater light enough and booties streamlined enough that along with the black tights and belt, it anchors the flirty, ruffly sundress without weighing it down.
When dealing with a print sundress, a classic gray cardigan, along with a solid red scarf, black tights and tan boots will keep it from being too much, while still showing off individual style.
Here's an idea if you want to add a bit of a rocker vibe to your look. The sweet & somewhat frilly pink sundress provides a real contrast to the motorcycle influenced black leather jacket and boots. Accessory choices are yours, of course, but the patterned tights and feather earrings add a touch of whimsy to the look.
So there you have it, some fun ways to wear a vintage sundress. Have fun, experiment with your own combinations, that's what makes vintage fashion so fun! So get online and find a vintage sundress you love, then wear it all year long!
