Friday was one of my busy days so I decided to wear my flowered browns and blues day dress. It's easy, comfortable and looks good with flats.
I paired it with brown and mushroom oxfords (here's a
DIY on painting your own spectators), vintage brown bag, vintage brown leather gloves, lace necklace gift from a reader, filigree steampunk earrings gift from another reader, and my pen necklace.

I paired it with my velvet flower hat.
I know it's a really silly hat, but I kind of love it.

Retro Rack is also on
facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.
