'80s Love Club—No Shoulder Pads Allowed

Over the weekend I met the truly awesome and stylish Mai from the San Fran blog the Fashionist. We were at a crowded event, in a group of 100 or so bloggers, and what made Mai stand out right away was her chic, longish, vintage '80s floral dress, which she was wearing with a low side ponytail and pointy pink suede flats. The outfit was really good, one that you could imagine working for a variety of occasions and since meeting Mai, all I can think about is how to replicate her look and how many '80s dresses I can squeeze into my closet. This robin's-egg blue number has a cute slashy pattern that kind of reminds me of Built by Wendy. I love the graphic (though stealthily feminine) look of this puff-sleeved floral style—wouldn't it be great for spring with bare legs and round-toe boots? And finally, I kind of need to wear this ruffly version to every party I'm invited to until fall.



















Were you attending a "DESIGNING WOMEN" convention?
I can sit in front of my computer allll day long looking for just the perfect floral vintage number. My watch list must contain at least 20 dresses right now! Lol... Let me know if you want to exchange seller names :)
Hello Jennifer,
You mentioned that you were at an event full of bloggers, was it a convention or fashion show? I am interested because I am always on the search for events geared towards bloggers.
Thanks!
