Some 1970s asymmetry.

This 1970s asymmetrical dress is all kinds of awesome. A perfect palette, tons of detail (single shoulder with tie details, a button back, a bum ruffle) but still an overall simple dress. Lovely.

Out-there Dresses.

I generally try to avoid kitschy vintage looks unless there is something compelling about them. Lately, I've been gravitating toward patterned 1960s-1970s dresses. I think they'd make such an interesting look this autumn, with their bold prints peeking out of blazer cuffs and collars and layered over textured tights and the perfectly worn riding boots now living in the back of all of our closets.
