Hi everyone!
I hope your weekend was super. I am officially on-the-mend, so I couldn't wait to slip on this thrifted James Coviello silk dress. Honestly, I hadn't heard of him at the time, but this creamy little number guarded in black, sort of smelled designer. It also reminded me of something Marc Jacobs would have done a few years back. And I Love Marc Jacobs' imagination!Though it was a size (or two) too small, I always snatch them up and try em' on. I've scored lots of favorites that way. When smaller sizes fit, that's always a good sign of quality. I'm not sure why? Wealthy people need to think themselves thinner? Cheaper clothes, less fabric? Hmm?
There it is: New York Fashion week 2007
vintage Alice
This dress paired with these F21 leggings reminded me of Alice. I started to look for her in black and white tights, but she must have a huge wardrobe. I even saw her in a green and red dress. The nerve... I did find my mind's eye Alice (finally). Blue dress and stripes. So, I decided this is more of Alice, circa the 1920's...

Wow - gorgeous dress, and I love that you did the sleuthing and found the runway pics too. Thanks for sharing all the beauty with Visible Monday xoxox
Your dad is a great picker of hats! I like how you wore it with bangs.
You are WONDERLAND, any time. LOVE the dress on you- fancy designer on a dime, congrats (or sell on eBay for $$) Love your leggings, and of course how you style things. You always looks fantastic. Like a million bucks! Curiouser and Curiouser!
Is this my favorite outfit ever? Yes it is!!
What a FUN take on the Gatsby/Alice thing. Amazed at the designer find. Love the sweet portrait of you with the camera.
Goes to dig her striped leggings out of the dress up suitcase...
Such a cute/cool outfit - cute top, cool leggings! Looks great together!
I love the pictures of the old camera - how funny! Wouldn't it be great if you could put the digital works inside one of those old cameras?
I just need your address so I can sneak off with this entire outfit while you're sleeping. Honestly, just fabulous!

The dress on its own is great, but with those tights really take it to the next level of awesome! Just don't follow any rabbits down the hole...

I especially like the hat and camera as accessories. You certainly have the eye for quality, Reva, but even if it were cheap, the style is awesome. Glad you're officially on the mend.
You are so much fun, dear Reva.
looking glorious.

Beautiful dress and a very brave combination of it with striped leggings which perfectly worked.
That's a find, no name means nothing to me, either but you can tell it's something special! Love the camera as a prop and glad you're on the mend. xxx
Love these photos, like a fairytale storyline! And the stripes are fantastic with it. Nice inspiration from Alice! Good detective work tracking down the season on the dress. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
Hi Reva~oh so Great Gatsby too! What a score on that dress; it looks adorable on you. And love the addition of the striped leggings--it gives it a modern feel. xoxo
I'm digging the sass of this outfit. I think everything about it suits your personality! I had no idea about the size thing with designers but it makes sense I guess. The dress is gorgeous! What a sweet hat your dad got you too!
XOXO
Now we finaly will get fotos from Wonderland, that's great!
Your silk tunic dress is a marvellous finding and I love how you mixed it.
Sometimes I wish I could swap hairdos like clothes. I would ask you to borrow me yours for a week or so and I would send you mine. In next life perhaps.

I love it! What a darling outfit! I have to say, I am smitten with Alice and sometimes just marvel over the variety of old and new illustrations there are of her. All kinds!
