In February I blogged about a wool Anne Fogarty dress and the original advert. I mentioned that there was another Anne Fogarty dress that I owned and this is it.
This was another good purchase from eBay and it fits very snugly! I don't know if I will be lucky enough to find any more Anne Fogarty dresses at reasonable prices, many of the recent ones on Etsy have been over £100. 1950s wool dresses are great to have in winter to keep you warm and stylish.
What I particularly love about this dress is the detail on the back - look at those buttons! I haven't seen many other dresses with this sort of detailing at the back.
And here are my Gloria by Miss L Fire boots, aren't they cute? As I explained in a previous post, when the AW14 styles were released, I really wanted the Alpine boots but they sold out in my size in their pre-orders so I decided to buy these ones. They are pretty comfy and keep my feet warm!

ReplyDeleteWool dresses are so hard to find in good condition, you were lucky to find that one!
Thanks Laurence! Yes wool dresses are hard to find but I always try to look for them as they are great purchases :)
DeleteOh your dress is so lovely! The color really suits you, and that back button detail is so gorgeous. I would love to find a wool dress for winter, but haven't had any luck so far. :) ❤

Thanks Bonita! Do keep trying to look for vintage wool dresses all year round, you'll be glad when you find the right one :)
DeleteOooh, the back of that dress is fantastic. The colour really suits you, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mim! Purple isn't really a colour I usually gravitate towards but I just had to have this dress!
DeleteI have always admired Anne Fogarty dresses too - in fact I have yet to see one I don't love! They always have such lovely detailing. The back of that one - those buttons are indeed very special and you look exquisite in it xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy-Lou! There are some designers that I really like and this is one of them - I love looking at the old adverts!
DeleteThose buttons up the back are amazing!!! What a cool, creative touch and extra hit of joy in an already cheerfully fantastic frock - that looks sensational on you, dear gal, I should add.
