What are you wearing today??

[ClaraB]

I really like this dress but rarely wear it as I always feel that it looks a bit frumpy on me.
It was a bit chilly today so I paired the dress with a blue sweater which matches the blue in the dress just about perfectly. The sweater and the dress came from the same owner and I imagine that she wore them together as well.
No tags or markings on either so I'm not sure of the date.

I assure you, there is nothing frumpy about that dress on you...

Absolutely enchanting ClaraB, certainly not frumpy at all! Just utterly wonderful.

I love the floral pattern, it's hard to tell from a far, but looks like midsummer flowers to me: daisies, poppies, and mountain bluets

I do believe you are right Cherry Lips! Here is a close up just for you.

And thanks to the gents, Gutshot and Pip, for their kind words. I will wear this dress with more confidence now that I know neither of you find it frumpy! Thanks!

Clara, I can understand why you might think that, but on you that ensemble looks great!

You gals keep this up and I'm gonna have to have a pacemaker put in... (not a good sign when you're still, if not by much, on the south side of 30... )

Clara-
The dress looks great! Very classy yet casual and the sweater goes great with it too!

Clara,
My dear you are a divine vision!

I was right haha! What a dreamy dress. In Sweden we celebrate midsummer and dance around a midsummer pole:

lol It's a very hedonistic tradition

Thanks everyone! Tess, I had them sewn up after a pattern I got from Shrinking Violet. I can make a double for you.

I would love that! Thank you!

Not the greatest picture of me in the world... but:

I just got this hat last week from Panama Hats Direct and it's quickly become one of my favorites. I had to invest in another new Hawaiian shirt in it's honor.

No clue what "frumpy" means, but I can only echo the previous statements made above. Very nice indeed

Man, I dig those trousers:eusa_clap May I ask where you got them? Are they vintage or repro?

Very nice Djgo-cat-go. Are your boots Red Wing Iron Rangers perchance? They look it.

You have soft lips?

OK, you have Gubbig style.

Well done.
