Have I mentioned how much I love Etsy? (Clearly the answer is yes, found here and here). I admit I’m by no means a vintage connoisseur, but inspired by some of my favorite bloggers, I was in the mood to peruse the vintage Etsy shops earlier. I came across the one-shouldered taffeta number above ($195) – how cool does she look?? I was immediately drawn to the cotton candy pouf detail and 80′s vibe… and then, it hit me – of course! I was drawn to this dress because it looks strikingly like the Thread Social number I posted about last week (and I wonder why it always seems like I have 10 of the same thing in my closet…). Anyway, I sorta fell in love with Girl On A Vine, the Etsy shop where I found it…

Vintage St. John dress ($270)

Someone please, PLEASE buy this so I can stop lusting over it. The chiffon ruffle sleeves are ridiculously great and its that stretchy knit material that St. John does so well. I’d need to cut almost a foot off the bottom… but it’s timeless and it looks a little big on the model which means it will probably fit me perfectly so why isn’t it MINE???

Red Silk with Jacquard Print ($65)

I think I was most drawn to the way this dress was styled, but then I read the description and discovered that the shoulder detailing is actually bows… and I was sold. The matching sash is adjustable and can be worn for an empire silhouette or dropped waist.

Vintage Pastel Pleated Dress ($125)

Who knew combining pleats, ruffles, ruching and a floral print could produce something so airy and chic? The adjustable wrap top and full skirt would be flattering on almost anyone, quite a lovely vintage find.
