Buffy | Vintage 1950s 1960s cobalt blue solid Color day dress

 The story:

Like a bolt of blue. Sometimes we need something to just jolt us out of the constant, even if the constant were something great. 

This pretty blue dress doesn’t seem to have all the bells and whistles of the gloriously printed dresses in her time, but it doesn’t make her less worthy as a gem from then. 

Love the colour, bright but not over the top; the simple lines she cuts and the one large single textured button she wears like a badge of honour.  

Pinned?: No.
