Online Boutique: ShopSosie.com

I find it kind of amusing how everything keeps going around and around in fashion. Fashion does tend to repeat itself. One of the trends that I am loving right now is vintage-inspired style. High-waisted skirts, billowy sleeves blouses, bell-bottom pants, floral and crotchet patterns will give a vintage vibe to any outfits. The vintage-inspired look is definitely coming back strong. Dressing vintage does not necessarily mean that the actual clothing or jewelry has to be real vintage. Many clothing stores are replicated the vintage styles with that modern flare.



When ShopSosie.com has asked me to pick out a courtesy item for PetiteLittleGirl.com, I immediately drawn to this “Sun in your hair prairie” dress. I wanted to style this dress with neutral colors to keep it light and airy. Even though, this dress is a good candidate to pair with some bright and bold statement jewelry. If billowy sleeves, pleats and polka dots don’t scream vintage enough, a red lipstick will do the trick. I don’t normally wear lipstick, let alone a bright red but I think a swipe of bright lipstick completes the look.




What I am wearing:
Dress: Sun in your hair prairie dress c/o ShopSosie.com - size S (buy here)
Belt: F21 Crochet Leatherette Belt (buy here)
Shoes: Gucci Mid-heel Leather Pumps (buy similar style in brown here)
Necklace: F21 Charm Cluster Necklace (buy similar here)
Ring: F21 Oval Ring (buy similar here)
Purse: Louis Vuitton Musette Tango - wore as clutch (buy here)






Disclosure: I received this dress courtesy of ShopSosie.com. As always, my reviews are my personal opinion. I will not be compensated for posting this review on my blog.

Are you a fan of the vintage-inspired trend?

Great pick Sydney; the dress looks very vintage style, but still modern. And despite the long sleeves, the fabric looks very lightweight and airy. It looks great on you :)

Is this the first time the LV made an appearance!? If not, I'm sorry to have missed it previously, but I love how it looks with this vintage outfit. Great styling, Sydney!

@Cee I think this is the 2nd time the LV made an appearance :) I have this purse for almost 8 years. I rarely use it though.

This is really cute! I agree about the lipstick, it is the perfect compliment to the dress!

I feel the dress is pretty plain on its own and you have glammed it up with the belt and the clutch and a little makeup :) Did you twirl in those? ;)

Ping said...

ohh i adore this dress! you look so pretty in it. the accessories are perfect too!

Lei said...

i like it a lot! I sure hope they have size XS on this one, the S would be a little bit longer on me, but I looove it!:)

I think it's so hard to find dresses w/long sleeves. The length fits your arms perfectly. I love the buttons on the shoulder and I think you paired it well w/this belt. me likey.

Hi! I'm your newest follower! I love this dress on you and I might get hooked on the site. They have such cute dresses. That belt is a spitting image of an Anthro belt and it pulls the outfit together.

I love your style so far!

Great mix of labels in addition to the lovely dress; from F21 to LV, that's what defines true sense of style to me. You Go Girl!!
