Outfit

Back in 2009 when I first discovered both Modcloth and the concept of fashion blogging, I instantly fell in love with a Modcloth piece called the Keiko Lynn dress. I eventually purchased it in my first ever order from Modcloth and got an incredible amount of use from it. This was truly the best dress! I was so sad when, a couple of years later, the elasticated waist and sleeves became so loose that I couldn't wear it anymore. Last year I noticed The Blueberry Muffin dress on the Modcloth website and it was so very similar to the Keiko Lynn dress that I missed so dearly; the same lace detailing and trim, identical colour scheme, similar polka dot design and analogous shape. I knew I had to have it! I was very good and waited until the 50% off sale. When I finally received this dress it was amazing. It was everything I'd loved about the Keiko Lynn dress and better. The zip instead of elastic is much more practical and I like the material more than the silk. The polka dots are much bigger on this dress so it seems more like a white rather than navy blue piece which I don't mind. I'm so happy to have this dress and I expect to get just as much use from it as I did with the Keiko Lynn dress. My shoes are another item I'd had my eye on for ages. I've been obsessed with silver shoes for quite some time now but could never find the right pair. I loved this pair, the First Kiss Heels from Mimco but they were rather pricey. I considered buying them anyway but simply just couldn't justify it. So I waited and eventually they became mine for a wonderful 60% off. It's my first ever piece from Mimco, how exciting. It's so cool how the shoes are silver on the outside and gold on the inside. They are fantastic quality and I absolutely love wearing them.   I'm often surprised by how many comments, both in the blog and non blog world, I get about my hair and why I always have it in the same style. The photos from my last post with my hair down were quite awhile ago when my hair wasn't so thin and flat. I thought about cutting my hair back into that style but I realised it would just take too much time and stress me out each day. My hair is not naturally straight. I can only imagine how stressed I'd be at 6.30am rushing to straighten my hair. I love it how my current style takes less than 10 minutes and I don't have to fix it throughout the day.  I simply don't feel comfortable with my hair in any other way. I felt liberated when I discovered this hairstyle; no more stress!

This dress is so so gorgeous on you! It's such a perfect summer dress. I don't think you can ever have too many blue dresses either. I love how you complimented the blue with that red bag. Great silver heels too!

Alexandra Zakharova said...

Oh, that dress is so pretty, fits you perfectly well:) I must say I like those shinning shoes too, looks so lovely! I also want to say that I'm really suprised that u do this hair bun so fastly, if u give me even an hour I wouldn't be able to do a simillar one. If u feel comfortable this way, then it's really great. I have almost same problems with my hair, they are not only too thin but straight, that I can't even curl them. So I probably wear same hair do all the time too)

Lilli said...

Hi Imogen! What a cute dress, love it! Is very pretty and you look so lovely with it! Also love the heels, the high bun suits you! Kisses dear and happy Monday! xo

I can see why you loved you Keiko Lynn dress so much and ordered a similar one, right when you saw it. It is very beautiful and makes you look like a doll (in a good way) :) The shoes are absolutely fabulous as well, just like the purse :) Oh, and your hair looks great this way! I love wearing a bun for the exact same reasons :)))

The dress is adorable! i think I love everything that has polka dots on! :) And how fortunate that you managed to find a really similar dress to your loved one! :) The shoes are very nice too, I would love to find a silver pair of heels for myself!
And don't worry, wear your hair just they way you want them to be, because it is important you feel comfortable! :)

I have forever loved that blueberry muffin dress! It reminds me of knitted dove one I have with the lace collar. Funny, I think it was seeing Keiko Lynn that got me started with Modcloth too as well as blogging :-)

Sara said...

You look beautiful! I love the detailing on that dress, it looks perfect on you! One of my friends recently told me to never put anything with elastic in it in the dryer, to let it air-dry instead. It helps keep the elastic longer. So I have started doing that, maybe try that if you have anything else with elastic in it?

Ella said...

Lovely dress and the shoes match perfectly!! I love how the dress look on you. ;)

Cute cute cute! Love the mix of 50s and country vibes in the dress! It#s so pretty that it doesn't need any further accessories, so the combo with the chic shoes is perfect! :)

I love wearing buns, especially in the summer. My hair is very wavy and it gets too frizzy in the summer if I try to wear it down. Buns are so fuss-free. Yours looks fantastic! I love your dress, too! It fits you so well!

Cee said...

What a sweet and feminine dress! It's no wonder you loved the similar one so much that you wore it out, and how wonderful that you were able to find a similar replacement - I wish that could happen for us all more often!

This is such a pretty dress - so feminine and lovely. I love the red purse, and those shoes are dazzling! I think the thing that caught my eye the most was the lace collar, how sweet. You are really stylin' in this one, Imogen.

I discovered ModCloth in 2009 too! I'm pretty sure I found them during my daily visit to Perez Hilton at work. I used to scroll through their site, admiring all those pretty vintage inspired pieces but never purchased anything. Think I need to revisit the site again!

Oh, can you believe, I just wrote a comment and lost everything! I said that you look beautiful, your dress is beautiful, so is your bag! I have the same feeling, when I really really love something, I try to find it again and again for years! I do read posts, some people don't - and I noticed that you said that many people commented about the hair! Well, I liked it the previous way too, but this is your trademark now, the bun, and I like it very much! By the way, I also like the shoes silver outside and golden inside! Everything gorgeous! denisesplanet com
