Styling for Spring Guide: Vintage Party Outfit

For me, going to special events like birthday parties, bridal showers or even just brunch with the girls is a fun opportunity to experiement with my clothes and try something new. The same cookie-cutter outfits (shiny leggings and a loose top are my go-to) can get mundane. So that's why this aqua-blue, flowy vintage dress that fashion stylist Bettina Bati put together at Haute Olive Boutique is such a breath of fresh air! The color and texture of the dress is so great for Spring/Summer - it stands out and is comfortable. The draping neckline is also a subtle sexy touch. And it's also a one-of-a-kind dress! It was tweaked for a modern fit by the boutique's owner. This by the way, is another great plus about vintage shopping which is that you'll find unique pieces with a history. So, here are some pointers to remember when shopping for this style: bright colors, subtlle sexy/feminine accents, and accessories. Also, most importantly, remember that sometimes girls just want to have fun!
