I found this amazing pencil patterned dress while sorting clothes in my new shop! It's a little too damaged to sell, but that's fine with me because I really, really wanted to keep it anyway! The pencil pattern is so cute! I'd love to know who designed it and if there are other similar dresses floating out there in the universe. Also wearing… vintage hat and belt and canvas shoes from Urban Outfitters. XO.
PS. the blog re-design is coming along swimmingly! as you can probably tell, there are a few finishing touches we are still working on…. it'll be shiny & new in the next day or so! THANK YOU for all the kind words. I'll do a big post to explain the new design and features after we put the cherry on top!
