Frugal February: True Blue

Dress: Vintage, via Miss Modular Vintage
Belt: free with Bettie Page Dress
Shoes: Wittner

This is the dress that restored my faith in plus-size vintage shopping!

I almost didn't buy it when I saw it originally, and I'm so glad I did, because it's enormously good fun. I usually team it with pops of red, but I actually quite like it with the white belt... I just have to find some more suitable shoes now.

Last year I did a post on vintage and thrift shopping online but I'd love some new suggestions online and in person - go ahead and leave a comment below if you have any great recommendations.

I'd wear the dress with red shoes. True story. And a red belt. And maybe even red lipstick!

Gorgeous, stunning, love it.

I will suggest for vintage in Melbourne:
-Retrostar in the Nicholson Building (the something-for-everyone shop, so much stuff there)
-Circa Vintage on Gertrude St (Nicole, the owner, stocks all sizes and is incredibly helpful)
-American Rag at Southbank (a bit pricey, but all imported, in great nick and they do free alterations)
