yellow

After seeing this

recently, I started obsessing over yellow dresses. Probably because I'm so jealous of people who can wear yellow dresses and look pretty. Yellow hates me. But I love it so. Anyway.

Here is my favorite yellow dress of all time:

Michelle Williams wore this to the Oscars when she was nominated for Brokeback Mountain. She didn't win. But the dress is fashion history.

And we have this beauty:

"Lady in Yellow Dress"
Painted by Max Kurzweil, 1899
Lovely, but where are her feet? I think it would be neat to have some black heels peeking out from the hem of the dress.

And this cute one:

I love the yellow shoes. I might could pull off yellow shoes.

Love the pale:

"Lady in Yellow", painted by Thomas Dewing.
If I wore this I would look like I had jaundice.

And from one of the prettiest movies ever filmed in color:

The always beautiful Catherine Deneuve in The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (and I know she's wearing more of a coat-like garment, but we can pretend it's a dress).

And a little vintage advertising:

I totally dig the dress. But not Pepsi with dinner.

christmas in june

I had a saved-up gift card from christmas so I decided to buy myself a present. These:


I really wanted this too:


But did not have the dollars. Here's hoping that a girl who likes green, lives on the Georgia coast, and is a size six buys one and then changes her mind. She then will donate it to the local thrifty thrift where I will happen upon it and make it mine. For $3.99!
