This dress is seven years old. No joke.
I got it in London while on an unforgettable holiday with my best friend. We had just graduated college and were ready to take on the world– and Topshop, of course. Oxford Circus, represent.
Years later, I still pull this swingy number out for the spring and summer. I love the bright green color and the bouncy fabric. To make it more 2k14, I paired it with my trusty ASOS ankle boots (anglophile outfit: check) and that Michael Kors watch I’ve been wearing nonstop. Final touches: beachy festival hair and lots of eyeliner. Bring on spring!
This is still the perfect day dress, even seven years later. Not giving it up just yet!

I LOVE London! There is something so fun about clothes you get in Europe. This is really cute and the color is fantastic!
Oh I love items like this, I have a few of my own that I’ve had for years and still love them to death. I’ll be sad when I can wear them any more. You look lovely, green is your colour.

Seven years in a closet is practically an eternity these days! Impressive, and such a great color on you! Your makeup also looks really great today- love the bronzey-nude shades on you and they’re a great compliment to the green.
