Wear again? Yes, to one of my many more Thanksgivings at least. The fabric is a bit stiff so it's not the easiest dress to wear, but other than that it's quite comfy. I may make a self fabric belt at some point but it's a pretty busy print so I don't know.
I did a combo of view 1 (collar with trim) and view 2 (pockets!) because I need pockets on dresses whenever possible.
The weather was super nice so I grabbed the chance to get some outdoor shots!
I also wore one of my vintage 50s hats. I haven't been wearing many hats since I got my pixie cut and I'm still trying to find the best way to do my hair with them, but it put me in a super good mood all day so hats must come back into my life!
