Presenting my second dress in the ongoing series Six Months + Six Dresses, brought to life by Miss Kyla Roma. This dress was purchased at the new Highland Park thrift store, Urchin, which rocks my freaking world. You can find my first entry here.
I highly recommend, should you ever be given the opportunity, to work on a project that allows - nay - encourages AND funds the acquiring of vintage dresses, which you then get to keep when said project is over.
This is not just a fairy tale I have concocted in order to justify my crazy clothes hoarding ways, my friends, this actually happened to me. I know, right?! Although I can't yet announce the project, I can show off the wares.
In addition to recommending involvement in such a project, I'd also recommend that you make sure your slip isn't showing when posing for pictures in one of your favorite dresses from the aforementioned vintage-dress-buying-spree.
A dainty and demure pearl buttoned dress such as this one is best paired with a waist-cinching belt and tasteful yet comfortable shoes, along with a bitchy glare and a tough-as-nails attitude, of course.
Posing coyly and cutely is recommended...
however jokingly encouraging your boyfriend to pose how you were just posing is not (although also kind of is because the resulting photo will make you giggle every time you look at it). 
Sipping jalapeno margaritas at your favorite local restaurant in your new fancy dress that makes you feel like a naughty housewife from the 50's who may or may not be wearing tawdry lingerie underneath her modest frock is highly, highly recommended. 
Getting to wear new fancy dress for a hot as hell and equally stylish boyfriend who ALWAYS opens the car door for you even after months of dating and you insisting that it isn't really necessary is the cherry on top of a wardrobe full of cute new dresses. 
I know this post is supposed to be about my dress, but this guy?...oh my goodness I'm so nuts about this guy. It's been three months and I'm absolutely smitten with him.

So happy for you! And so happy the boyfriend is making more of an appearance around these parts. It's about time!
(I kid you not, my word verification is hothingt! How à propos.) :)
Well done, all 'round!
Nice dress, always been jealous that you can fit into crap like that... the boyfriend too. XO, sister.
Love! Love you, love the dress, love the boy. Squeee!!
OMG you guys are TOO cute. But I can't help but feel you are tempting fate to send rocky waves your way for flaunting happiness. (Yes I KNOW what that says about me!) Sorry be a downer! But the pain of being faced with taking down old photos if it doesn't end up working out would be too much to bear even for us visitors!
