| http://www.etsy.com/listing/40432500/vintage-60s-kitten-heels-chocolate-latte I realize I am woefully inadequate at keeping track of my obsessions. Here I am, ostensibly all about the green dresses, and yet...nuthin'. Having recently realized just how rare a good green dress is, I thought I'd do a round-up of what's out there. Turns out part of the problem with green dresses is it's so hard to accurately capture the colour in a photo...er, but yes, the last dress is a golden yellow, thoughI loooooove it so, and as you can see my greens tend toward the acid anyway. Fortunately some of these are out of my size, and some out of my price range! Check out the lovely shoes- they're from the same Etsy seller as the first image, and actually more coffee coloured, but gorgeous together, I'd say! I actually read an article recently about how difficult a colour green is to manufacture, even since the poisonous fabrics of the 19th century, and indeed that any "green" publications using the colour green in print just aren't, since all industrial uses are rather toxic! Hmm. Oh, and I wore a gorgeous 'eames print' green fifties dress the other day, but as per usual haven't accomplished any picture-taking yet. sigh. |

That Betty Barclay dress is in my favorites loist on Etsy too. If only it were a little less pricey, I would snap it right up!
ReplyDeleteI am looking at your Zooey Deschanel recommendation though. I worry that it is too small, but it is more in my price range.
Oh yeah- I love how much body the fabric has, especially the sash. really architectural. It's so hard to tell what exact shade of green it is though!
ReplyDeleteThat striped green Betty Barclay is amaaaaaaazing. I am so in love with the concept of green dresses too, whenever I see your blog title it makes me smile. So happy to see you list some of your favorites!
ReplyDeleteI'll try to curate some for you...might be better than feeding the fixation. The only "cure" is to pass it along!
