Sugar and Spice | Vintage 1980s pastel Rose 1950s tea party-inspired Dress | Buttons down the back

The story:

Lightly does it says Mary, Miss Contrary. 

Pastels are all too wishy-washy you say? Oh no no no. 

This we feel is a bit of a spice-girl of pastels ;) 

Worn loose fit, with oxford lace-ups, a slip of neon colour showing at the ankles, a boater's hat, and a knapsack to bring some masculinity to the look, this could totally be the bad girl of all things 80s and pastel. 

Has a row of beautiful pink buttons (they remind us of boiled sweets in metal bon-bon tins!) down the back. Yes, ALL the way down! 

Pinned?: No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one.
