This is Not a Dress

Today I had a dilemma about what shoes to wear. See, I just wore these ones like 3 days ago and I usually try not to wear the same pair more often than once a week or so. But no other pair looked right with this outfit so I eventually decided to wear them anyways. But if the biggest dilemma I have today is about what shoes to wear, I suppose I should thank my lucky stars and quit whining.

At first glance I think this look could almost pass for a dress. When I was trying to pick a shirt to wear with my new vintage skirt (is that like an oxymoron or something?), I was running into trouble left and right, but when I saw my striped white and navy top I knew it was too good to pass up. So yeah, it's a lot of stripes, but how could I resist wearing these together?

Anyhow, I wanted to share these freaking adorable stickers I got from Miss Courtney of My SoCalled Denver. She posted them on her blog and offered to send a few to anyone that wanted some, and of course I jumped at that. Seriously, I <3 Vintage. Love these things. I love them so much I'm having trouble deciding what to put them on. Suggestions?

Also, as if she wasn't sweet enough for sending me freaking awesome stickers, she also included this super cute little necklace with a shiny gold oval in the front. I am totally in love with the mixed metal look (the chain is antique brass).

By the way, Courtney has a really awesome Etsy shop where she sells vintage accessories. I am madly in love with the vintage clutches and purses she has there, especially these three:

1, 2, 3

Gorgeous, am I right?
