Story of a Yellow Shirtdress

by Joi Smith on January 22, 2017 in the category: ap contributors

I love a good vintage piece, and this yellow shirt dress caught my eye almost immediately while perusing a thrift shop one afternoon. Its bright color seems to instantly pour on good vibes, no matter what the current state of affairs may be. On this occasion I kept its pairings simple so this bold color truly could stand alone. I added my favorite red lippie (Sephora 01), a matching belt, a fun statement bag, and a pair of comfy sneakers. Check out more of my vintage scores here!

Once again, my photos are lagging behind the weather. I was hoping I’d have a few more snow-free weeks to post lovely fall shots, but alas: We got an inch of the stuff last week and it’s sticking around. So here are the last of the truly autumnal outfits. This one both leaf-heavy and comprised of fall-colored clothes and accessories. read more
