Enjoying a rainy morning in the so-called "Sunshine State" in a vivid pink dupioni silk vintage shift with scooped neckline, side split detail, tie belt & gorgeous matching "corsage" detail. The roughly woven material was the perfect camouflage for errant raindrops, as shown in the picture below:

As a stylist & blogger, I particularly love kitschy, sweet design details. This "corsage," fashioned from the same material as the dress & with a beaded button in the centre (perfectly matching the button ends of the tie belt) is the ideal accompaniment to a cocktail-style dress from the 1960s era, adding that touch of je ne sais quois. 

Retro-style black patent Mary Jane heels were the perfect accompaniment to the look, mixed with a funky, modern print clutch & chunky chrome bangle.

Just seemed like a Simon & Garfunkel kind of day...
