Earth Angel Dress

I'm just a fool, a fool in love with this dress.

I'm just a fool, a fool in love with this dress. With its delightfully retro silhouette, three ruffled tiers of flounce, and shimmering, chiffon-esque contrast over the silky, seafoam green fabric, the vision of its love, loveliness, inspires me to put it on and step back through time to a 1950's high school formal. I'd get a pair of cat-eye glasses, put my hair in a high ponytail, and find some really keen fellow to slow dance with to that classic tune by The Penguins. This is what any bobbysoxer would wear on that special night when a girlish crush turned to true love. Back in my time machine again, and I'm in '62, doing my best Betty Draper at a chic Manhattan cocktail party, wearing long white gloves, classy pumps, and a faux-fur stole, and this dress is still fabulous. One more time and I'm at a wedding in '79, rocking out to Cream on the dancefloor. My hair is super straight, and I've paired this dress with funky statement jewelry and rows of bangles. Before I can catch the bouquet I'm back here in the 21st century right where I was before, coffee mug in hand, dreaming of the perfect formal or semi-formal excuse to pull this dress out of my wardrobe. -Emily, Fashion Writer
