apricot’s closet: flapper girl.
Dress is thrifted; belt is from long ago; gold granny shoes from Payless; headband from Target; jewelry is miscellaneous.
This is, by far, the best dress I have in my bulging closet. I am deeply infatuated with everything about this dress: the peekaboo holes/flowers (which, if I’m not careful, could expose way more than I would like); the cream — or maybe it’s khaki — color; the detail around the neckline; the length; the pockets, oh! the pockets. I adore this dress. It makes me feel very much like a young woman in the 1920s who flaunted her unconventional conduct and dress; the definition of a flapper. I think the description is fairly accurate for a girl like me.
Also, I’ve been wearing a lot of stretchy headbands lately. I felt like my short hair needed a little more pizazz, so I bought a few in neutral colors & have been wearing them quite often. I have to say that this outfit wouldn’t be half as cute without that cream colored headband.

you are gorgeous! I love the contrast of the dress with your skin tone. There is nothing better than a slinky, light dress in the summer.
