floral dresses...an etsy round-up
So I have been known to whet my appetite for the latest lovely frock from Anthropologie with a stand-in, usually more satisfying and of better quality, really, from my favourite vintage proprietors at Etsy. When Eve Franco's En Plein Air dress went online in January I was positively drooling. My official new favourite colour combination of green and orange, in a deluxe watercolour floral print. The only thing that wasn't so pretty was the insane price tag.
I knew that if I waited long enough, the dress would eventually go on sale. But when I saw it sell out at full price online, I figured I should look for a substitute. I actually just missed out on this lovely:
and there were a few potential contenders that seem to have fallen out of my wishlist, but then this baby popped up:
watercolour floral? check. Orange and green? check (even more of an autumnal print, which is nice). And a bonus beautiful vintage detail in the back? check.
Last week the Anthropologie dress actually went on sale and I also scored it with the extra % off during the tag sale from the first store I called. I can't wait to get it in the mail now...
In the process, I found a bunch of beautiful one-of-a-kind green floral/pink/orange lovelies available on etsy.
