MUST HAVE! | Gardenia | Vintage 1950s 1960s Multicolored Plaid Dress

This dress is green. But we want to think of it as white. We don't know why exactly, but it just does. 

Perhaps it's because it contains so many of the colours of the rainbow and as you know, together they make white. Like a ray of sunlight without actually having a hint of white in it. It is a little bit like the reflection of a good life, perhaps? When people of all colours come together, they are powerful, like a ray of sunlight. Bright, sometimes glaring, but it shines and no one can ignore it. 

We like that this dress speaks volumes, that way.
