It plays so nicely with everything from beige to cocoa, grey to dark denim, as shown here. Hopefully more repro/vintage inspired brands will release pieces in it as time goes on.<br /><br />Many hugs & cheerful Wednesday wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-44153266978786278852016-08-03T11:42:02.384-07:002016-08-03T11:42:02.384-07:00Just popping in from today's post featuring Do...Just popping in from today's post featuring Dolly & Dotty clothing.<br />I love the color combination of this outfit :)<br /><br />♥Hope<br /><br />Mrs. W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14183720450645314598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-2854087270964745532016-07-04T23:28:45.785-07:002016-07-04T23:28:45.785-07:00Hi lovely Sanne, thank you very much for your comm...Hi lovely Sanne, thank you very much for your comment and kind words about this outfit (even if it does contain something, pants/jeans, that you're not personally wild about in general). It sounds like you had an absolutely marvelous vintage shopping trip. Wow!!! Congratulations on all of your wonderful new pieces - the silver brocade (I adore brocade, too) dress that you picked up to wear for your auspicious upcoming anniversary. 25 years, what an incredible and commendable milestone to reach. I'm as happy as can be for you both and hope that your celebration is a magnificent one. <br /><br />Big hugs & many thanks for all of your recent blog comments (each of which I sincerely appreciate),<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-3678362341078271302016-07-04T23:23:52.434-07:002016-07-04T23:23:52.434-07:00Thank you so very much, sweet Ann.

I've said it before, I'm not a fan of pants, but you look so sweet with your red hair and the green stribes. I'm just like you (again!), I adore stribes on others, but never wear them myself, and I really don't know why. I'm more fond of plaids and gingham of course, the latter I've been shying away from lately, since I think it is a bit too youthful for me, sigh. I will take a look at D&D and keep it in my collection of European links. BUT, I've just come home from a wonderful (except for the weather) mini trip to Jutland (still Denmark), where I visited a vintage shop and bought a fifties silver brocade dress (for our silver anniverssary), a black early sixties dress (still fifties style), a black skirt with buttons, and a very different silk top. I am SOOOO happy. It will pop up on IG every now and then, of course. So no more shopping for me for the next many months,. Wishing you a lovely day, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-591325703294984522016-07-03T06:12:24.381-07:002016-07-03T06:12:24.381-07:00I'm loving a green and blue combo, as you'...I'm loving a green and blue combo, as you've probably guessed, and the colours really suit you!

I love surprise/hidden details like that, especially since I tend to dress (by 21st century standards) on the more modest side of thing and trend lightly with keyholes and cutouts on the front. On the back through, a lovely little one like this is fun and playfully cute, so it's a-okay with my personal (fashion) comfort level.<br /><br />It's cool that we've both grown fonder of stripes in recent years. I'm excited to see what other sorts of striped piece might come my way in the next half of this year (and beyond). :)<br /><br />Many hugs & sincere thanks for your great blog comments this weekend,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-46826325566580431902016-06-26T15:54:55.190-07:002016-06-26T15:54:55.190-07:00Oh no!
