Vintage Maggi dress/belt & bangle. H&M headband. 'Love' bracelet. Miu Miu sandals."I've been to Hollywood / I've been to Redwood / I crossed the ocean / for a heart of gold / I've been in my mind, / it's such a fine line / That keeps me searching / for a heart of gold / & I'm getting old" - Neil Young, Heart of Gold
The plastic heart buttons on my 1950s dress earn it the theme song Heart of Gold - they both put me in a sweetly sentimental mood. Red checkered fabric is the perfect picnic blanket or Italian Restaurant tablecloth, but a pink checkered frock is ideal for an alfresco meal. This dress could've outfitted a soda shop waitress thanks to its pocketed skirt, scalloped sleeves & crossover collar; the snappy bow belt is slightly yellow but still lovely in matching gingham. Mid-century magical movie wardrobes: Doris Day in Do Not Disturb, Sandra Dee in Take Her, She's Mine & Grace Kelly in High Society.
Very cute indeed, the buttons are adorable! And the love bangle is very sweet.

What a cute dress!! I love the gingham fabric and the heart-shaped bottoms. I'd love to have one like this to feel like a 50s waitress hehe
