Come On, Get Happy

December 4, 2008 by WendyB

I dare you to be in a bad mood while wearing this vintage dress.

$160 at Dorothea’s Closet

I bet you’re in a better mood just looking at it! Now for some Partridge Family to put you right over the top.

    This dress not only makes me happy, it makes me want shiny white go-go boots!

    your right! you couldn’t be in a bad mood!!
    did you buy buy buy?

    you know what else makes it impossible to be in a bad mood.
    a walrus playing a trumpet.
    that makes me happy forever.

    Yup it says go-go boots to me too. 🙂 I hope it’s not crimplene or polyester. Horror! Cute though. I’m all about vintage dresses from the 60s and 70s!

    hahhaa
    you are so right!

    a kiss girl!

    do you know which are the best vintage stores from NY?
    the best prices + the best brandes?

    Kira, I always send people to Frock on Orchard Street and Allan & Suzi on the Upper West Side:

    I've gotten a lot of great stuff at both of those.

    That’s another ‘artwork’ piece I think. I’m sure some boffins can hide you and the dress in many artworks.

    Good point, Songy. Maybe I can lurk in one of those psychedelic ’60s concert posters.

    Well, now I’m completely happy! I love the dress and the Partridge Family.

    I’d be pretty disappointed if I were wearing that dress.

    fab! that + my bike would have no problem during rush hour 😉

    i don’t think a gal would be in a bad mood wearing this.

    this reminds me of a dress i have! i’ve had it since the ’80s and when i bought it then it was very trippy-flower-child. i wish i still had the purple and black zebra print tote bag that i bought from the same shop around the same time. i have worn the dress only a handful of times but it’s a keeper and might have to come out for a showing with tights and boots. . .

    You’re so right on with that bet. Just one look at it and I was instantly cheered up!
