I do like the red, white, and blue color combo. How nice you have such a healthy lilac tree (I never had any luck with them there). Don't they smell just divine?

I am useless at joining these linky things, and I'd have to post everyday to manage them all, so I don't mean offense when I don't join in!

The cotton dress, the vintage metal flower brooch and your longer locks are the my favorite parts!

You look so cute. Completely the part for the fourth of July. Lovely outfit. Especially like the big flower on your cardigan/jacket.

I found your blog via VaVoom Vintage. I was asking about blogs of 40+ vintage fashion and I ended up here.
So - you don't look like "40". You look young and sexy. I am 39 and I feel sexier than when I was 20, far from being old and dead. So thanks for our blog.
Also - I got a few retro inspired dresses and I was second guessing if I look like a fool and if I should just wear "age appropriate" clothes. It turned out I got the same dress as you from eshakti. I call it Popeys dress :-)
You look amazing in it! I am so happy to see it on someone my age.
