This vintage taffeta dress is one of my favorite dresses ever, but it's difficult to wear without looking like a grandma (even though I secretly love dressing like elderly women sometimes). I bought it in a boutique in Burbank and it was extremely marked down because it has a tear by the side zipper.... I think the tear makes it that much more special though!
Worn with Prada heels and my dad's leather belt.
Getting off the internet now, the weather is too nice to be stuck inside all day!

I love this colour on you! And ur hair looks darker, though that might just be lighting.Did u get a haircut? And I secretly love dressing like an old lady too. Today i'm wearing a maxi dress with a cardigan and im getting sympathetic looks from everyone under 21. haha!
those shoes are to die for!
I think you definitely managed to pull of the dress without looking like a Grandma ;)
I love the dress!! and i love vintage clothes!! :D

beautiful as always!

Why it has perfectly contrasting colours. You look great, it works with your short hair (which just keeps getting shorter..?)
It would be mine
Gorgeous dress!
Nice dress.
Nothing looks grandma when you're wearing heels like that. Such a beautiful dress. It's so classy and classical but not in any way outdated!
oh! you're the only one I know that looks extrymly sexy and chic in grandma's dresses!!!!

im so so so in love with your dress!
I can see why you love that dress but I don't think you could ever look like a grandma. At least until you really are a grandma anyway.
The granny chic look is fabulous, just take a look with what Marni has done with it! I love the color of the dress on you :)

I am NOT loving the grandma dress!! YOU are gorgeous....not feelin the dress and especially the belt. I just have to ask why are you cutting your hair so SHORT? It makes one think--??
Is your hair shorter than your boyfriend's hair? May I suggest hair extensions.
I love your dress!!! it kinda makes me think of one i have that I love but need to wear more. =)
Love the dress && shoes
My co workers make fun of me becuse they always tell me
I have this "granny style" to me
ahh well =)

I cut my hair short cus i don't want long hair... i'm pretty happy with my low-maintenance haircut... can't stand the idea of having to straighten it/curl it/etc everyday...
Beautiful dress! Looks great with your dad's belt! -Angela
Tis is such a great blog, thanks for the inspiration !

There's nothing more that I can say than: lovely.
The colour is exquisite.
I just love it. It's absolutely stunning.
And the Prada heels with that beautiful accordion pleating at the heel? Fantastic!
I don't care what anyone says - you always look cute.
I would really love to know the style number of the Coach Python bag that you sometimes carry. I know that you are busy - but if you have the time do you think you might be able to post the number.
thanks, Elle
Nice outfit!
And gorgeous heels!!
Lovely dress and heels!
The color and print of that dress are lovely. You can always fix a tear,though. :)
Taffeta is one of my fav fabric!
Have you ever tried Minx nails? think it will look great on you.

Hi Karla, i have been reading your blog for a year now. I admire your courage to dress very differently from the others. Your bold taste in fashion makes it work very well. Just being curious, what do you work as? I'm 18 this year, interested in fashion but my country do not have much opportunities for young budding fashion lovers to grow. What do you suggest? Thank you :)
i really love your dress.
and the belt looks nice on that dress.

I think dressing as an old woman is just preparing yourself for the years to come, plus, there are some seriosuely stylish OAP's out there! Love this dress, very old-school and simple. Suits you. :)

This dress doesn't look like it's made of taffeta, unless I'm picturing taffeta as a different type of material. I don't think it looks grandma-esque, it looks great!
Karla we love your style, just class!! :-)
