Vintage Linen

This vintage Ungaro wrap dress is so good, but it’s hard to convey its awesomeness in photos because it’s all about the fabric. It’s a double-ply (is that a thing?) linen with the weight and drape of a heavier fabric, but with the usual breathability. And there is no worrying about it being see-through, even with the cream colour. I’m not crazy about the collar, but I love everything else about this dress. I paired it with a thin black turtleneck because it was a windy day, and added some 90s-inspired accessories to match the vibe. Loved this so much, and it was so comfortable.

Notes: Ungaro dress (thrifted, $8.50); Oak & Fort turtleneck (retail, $40); Napoleoni shoes (thrifted, $7); Marc by Marc Jacobs backpack (consignment, $170).

La Favorita

It’s always nice to pull out this dress – it makes me feel instantly put together. I dressed it up with a velvet blazer and an old jeweled (but not too jeweled, if you know what I mean) belt. This makes me want to go back to hunting Dries on eBay … sigh.

Notes: Dries Van Noten dress (eBay, $300); Zara blazer (thrifted, $9.50); BCBG belt (thrifted with dress, $7); shoes (Winners, $40).

Vacation Style

My husband and I took a little weekend trip to Calgary (sans kiddos) this past week. That is usually the cue for me to line up some interesting outfits, except this time I prioritize comfort above all else. Luckily, this linen maxi dress delivers both comfort and some serious style. Nun-on-Vacation style, that is. I can’t tell you how much I love it. I’ll be wearing this non-stop this summer. The lace-up flats add a little bit of extra polish, without having to sacrifice any comfort. Win win.

Notes: vintage dress (thrifted, $14); Anthropologie necklace (retail, gift); Tommy Hilfiger jacket (DIY embroidery, original retail, $80); Napoleoni shoes (thrifted, $7).

5 Comments on What I Wore: May 19-26, 2019

  1. I wonder if you could dye the Ungaro dress? It looks lovely but I know what you mean about the color…it just wouldn’t work for me.

    That Dries dress is always so lovely!

    • I don’t mind the colour. It’s usually a problem only if the material is see through, but that is not the case here because it’s so nice and thick. (Sorry if that wasn’t clear!)

  2. Love your flats in particular and the Dries dress and blazer! I would love to find a linen dress like that.
