My friend bought us tickets to see Gotye, the other night, and it was so fantastic. I saw him back in...2008, maybe, at the St Jerome's Laneway Festival. He was also great to see back then, but this show was a very different vibe as he had other musicians with him this time. Anyway, I wanted to wear something comfortable but that was still fun so I decided to put on this dress - I don't think I've photographed it for the blog before, either.
Outfit details: 1950s hat - Red Ruby Vintage; sunglasses - Lost and Found market; necklace - Fisherman's Wharf markets; bolero - gift; 1950s dress - etsy; belt - Valley Girl; bracelets - various; handbag - Clearit on Brunswick street; stockings - ?; shoes - KMart.
I'm completely in love with this dress - it's so comfortable and I think it's quite versatile, too.
Hopefully you can see my hot dog earrings at least somewhat clearly in this photo. I used to wear a lot of slightly silly/novelty accessories so I decided to trying to integrate a little of that back into what I wear. Hence, hot dog earrings (I made them myself from some charms I bought on etsy).
And, for anyone who hasn't heard of Gotye and has no idea what I was yammering on about, here's the film clip (which is still amazing no matter how many times I see it) for the first single off of his latest album, which also features Kimbra.
Love,
Andi B. Goode

What a beautiful dress! I really love how colourful and vibrant your outfits always are!
ReplyDeleteWow I'm glad I watched that music video. That song pretty accurately describes my life right now. Thanks Andi, for once again introducing me to cool music I wouldn't have otherwise found!
ReplyDeleteLucky girl Gotye would of been amazing :)
ReplyDeleteAlso lovely dress matches your blog header a bit :)
I love the pattern and color of your dress. I also wear novelty jewelry, I think it brings some much needed quirkiness to my outfits.

ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic dress! The pattern and the colours are great and you're so right about its being versatile.

ReplyDeleteYou look amazing as ever! I love the dress and jewellery! And those chairs in a previous post are just the kinda thing my fella and I are hunting for! :) Nice find! :) Hope your weekend has been swell! Zoë x
ReplyDeleteQuite like the song, but I can't get over how much he sounds like Sting :D
ReplyDeleteLove your dress and those hot dog earrings are so cute.I love your bag too.Your hair is gorgeous.xx
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!! I'm really into Kimbra right now and heard that song as a result. RAD!
ReplyDeleteOoh, awesome dress...and i love that song, too. I've been listening to Kimbra a lot lately, too.
ReplyDeletelove your bracelets and the dress.The hot dog earrings are kitsch-tastic!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the outfit (as ever) and I am oober jealous of the fact that you seem to be able to get your curls all the way round your head.
ReplyDeleteHowever - what I like most about this post is the link to Gotye. I have never heard of him. He reminds me of a young Peter Gabriel - from the song you have linked to. *scuttles off to find out more*
I love those hot dog earrings! :D I used to like a lot of those slightly silly type accessories, got rid of most of them, and have been adding some more back in. Because sometimes having a wink in your outfit like that is too fun! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe dress is really beautiful--I always love seeing what pretty pieces you've found! Suits you to a T! :)
Gorgeous frock!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, but the mahjong bracelet is to die for!
ReplyDeleteSo lucky to go to Gotye!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to ask- do you pin your front curls? or do curl them and hairspray them to stay?
Thanks so much for the compliments, everyone! And glad I got some more people into Gotye ;)
ReplyDelete@Dashfield Vintage: Thank-you - I'm really glad you said that because vibrant & colourful is usually what I aim for. :D
@Cheri: I'm really glad you like the song - finding something that describes your situation can be really helpful sometimes (though I am sorry it describes your situation, right now). I've been so out of touch/away from Facebook so I had no idea what was going on. <3
@BaronessVonVintage: Couldn't decide which comment to post so I put both ;) So glad you like this music, too!
@Juliette Rose: thank-you. They're pinned in place - I just roll them down and pin them like I would victory rolls. :D
