My red vintage dress

by Elsa Termenon on June 20, 2011

My astrologer in India told me that I needed to wear more red, it was apparently the best color for my personality and I can’t disagree – red has always been one of my favorite colors. It makes me happy! So with that in mind I wore this red vintage dress on Saturday when we were having brunch at a Cuban place and running some errands around town. I got this silk dress last spring and wore it for brunch the day after our wedding and a few times on our honeymoon. It is such a nice lightweight quality and the most intense shade of red and I’ve been looking forward to wearing it again after a long winter.

I love my 60′s and 70′s dresses to death but I can’t resist a sweet dress that flirts with the 50′s. This one is from one of my favorite vintage stores in Williamsburg, New York – Beacon’s Closet and it barely cost me anything.

Do you wear a lot of red? Is it only me or do you have to be in a certain mood to pull a red dress out of the closet?

My astrologer was right, I feel very good wearing red ; )

This hat will always be my favorite. I have worn it so much but I love it only more.

The polish is Essie’s Licorice.

This outfit makes me feel like a mash up between a character in a Godfather movie and a 1950′s housewife. Not necessarily a bad thing!

I’m wearing: Vintage red silk dress from Beacon’s Closet (Williamsburg, NY) and Vintage belt, Ray Ban Wayfarers

Cub Monaco felt fedora and Sam Edelman Cayman Faux python sandals.

    Thanks Sweetie! I love the background too but it was shot in a very rough neighborhood and we tried to do it as quickly as possible so nobody would rob us of our camera (!!!) or worse… Everything for fashion ; )

    coola bilder! klänningen är jättefin på dig!
    jag har svårt för rött, vet inte varför.. har inte hittat min nyans tror jag. hade en röd klänning, sålde den för ett tag sedan, för jag använde den aldrig, men det berodde nog mestadels på att den satt lite halvdåligt och på materialet, gillade det inte. och i och med det har min hjärna lite fått för sig att jag inte gillar röda kläder, haha..:)
