red head

Dress: Vintage (London). Boots: Vintage Fryes (Ebay). Fedora: Trash and Vaudeville. Bag: Courtesy of Coach. Shades: American Apparel (vintage section). Belt: Boyfriend’s rubbish I resurrected. Gold Cuff: Courtesy Ann Taylor Loft. Pendant: Vintage. Stone ring: YSL
This is the dress I picked up when back home in London from a vintage shop. Soon as I saw it on the hanger (and exhaled at the price tag), I knew it was coming back to New York with me.
You know I have a thing about pockets like this white dress posted before here and this all in one poncho I wore here (Can’t wait for winter to wear it again). Takes the stuffiness out of anything when you can tuck your hands in.
ps. Thank you Revolve for the guest blogger feature!
pps. Almost forgot. Yes I’m experimenting with coloured hair ends. (It’s a wash out spray).

    all over leopard print is over the top in the BEST way possible. it’s gorgeous; i love it! and yes, pockets add insta-cool to just about everything. if it has a pocket(s), it’s that much better.
    and the pink looks awesome in your hair!

    the red tips are very subtle, maybe go for more extreme with perhaps grey or light blue? Or bright green if you really wanna go there!

  33. Laura says:

    Fabulous dress I love how you styled it.=)

  34. Malena says:

    Beautiful dress! You look stunning:)

  36. LUU H. says:

    that leopard dress is a killer dress !

  38. fshnonmymind says:

    This hair color is making me crazy (I long to be a redhead, but I’m scared to take the plunge just yet). It looks really cool on you.
    You picked a real gem with that dress because it looks fab on you (and its cool points increased by the fact that it has pockets).
    I love that you didn’t go predictable with the footwear because those boots are awesome and add an extra flair of boho.

  46. Louise says:

    So funny …. just the other day my mum and I were having a massive discussion on wearing leopard print, and since then it has been popping up on several of my favorite blogs! Also loving the red …. I used to change my hair color every month or so and I think being a red head was the highlight 🙂 Also loving the hat …. you are just one of those people who looks so effortlessly cool in a hat … not something everyone can carry off! xxxx

  47. Karoline says:

    Louise – leopard is having a moment. It’ll pass like anything although it’s a print that’s always been around. I’ve got leopard stuff from before I moved to NY! Thx re the hat! Works for bad hair days.

    Anon – thank you!

    Fashion Snag – they’re good here too but I saw so many more over there and their pricing was reasonable.

    Caylee – thanks! I know we have v similar taste : )

    The Fashion Cloud – I’m sure there’s one that would work?

    Girl with Kaledescope eyes – i don’t! the one worn in London was borrowed.

  54. Fashion Chalet says:

    Your hair is RAD!

    i love,love,love it!

  55. WeShop says:

    Love love love the leopard print dress. Am a leopard print addict. Bought a pair of print shorts yesterday and realised I could now dress completely head to toe in the print if I wanted to (not that I ever would!). xx
