Back to the 90's-Retro Drop Waist Jumper

Hello and welcome, thanks for visiting my blog!

I decided to go retro today,

 in this 90s weskit bodice white dress

I have had this dress for a long time,

 and have styled it on the blog before

It is so well made and well fitted-

 a testament to how clothes used to be made,

even in the 90's and aughts!

 The brand, Boston Proper, is still in business,

 but it's heyday was during the 90s and aughts

It is a bit like Chico's today

This dress is made of linen and cotton-

all natural fibers down to the big brown wooden buttons! 

  The partial belt at the drop waist,

 and the little sawtooth pockets at the hip

are such cute details

 Y2K styles have been a big fashion influence

for the past few seasons

This trend has lasted longer than I thought it would

Possibly because of the turn toward sustainability,

and the public purchasing 

these better constructed items second hand

Have you bought or thrifted any items from this era recently?

 I am wearing a pink and white striped v-neck blouse

 with a tie that fits perfectly in the neckline of the dress

Roger is joining me today

 in a pink polo shirt and khaki trousers

 We look so innocent in candy pink!

For a bag, I choose this pink patent leather 60s clutch,

 because it is such a perfect match with the blouse  

In my hair is a small rectangular scarf

with a lovely feather print 

You can't see it very well in my hair, 

but when worn as a neck scarf,

it shows a pink feather on one side of the tie

 and a violet feather on the other

I forgot to take a separate picture of the sandals

 These are so darling, they are a pearlescent nude color

with a low block heel 

 I don't think these will be staying in my closet long,

 cute as they are, because they are a bit too wide

and my foot slides around making me feel like I am going to fall off of them and twist an ankle!

Here is another time I have worn this dress on the blog,

back in the summer of 2021, in a similar way

I regret consigning those royal blue wedge sandals,

but once in a while it happens!

Hope you all have a good week 

and are having a great start to your summer!
