Ah, novelty prints, one of my weaknesses. I would say my only weakness, but let’s be real!
This one, however, is a bit different than the prints I am used to. A friend remarked on it best- the colours are very…vintage.
And as I looked at, it I decided that they do have a certain Chuck Jones feel to it. The slightly unusual design, the somewhat eclectic choice of colour, it all seems to point to a more vintage than pinup feel, and, at least to me, gently nudge in the later 50’s than I usually wear.  It even has a somewhat 60’s feel to it.<\/p>\n

I’ve recently gotten over my fear of mixing shades of the same colour, and mixing and matching colours in general, so this was a perfect chance to see how various shades of blue would work together in one outfit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I have to say I am very very pleased with how this turned out. The shades of blue work well together, enough to not make me miss owning a greenish-yellow cardigan to complement some of the owls on the pattern. I’m pretty sure that colour would make me look too sickly anyway.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The material itself is similar to satin to the touch, though not as shiny, and  I found it very comfortable to wear. It was my dress of choice to wear to work on my birthday, and I even paired it with a petticoat, which is something I rarely wear to work, even though I wear most of my vintage dresses every day.<\/p>\n

until next time!
