haute grandma

This dress used to belong to my Grandma Karnas. I have a handful of her old dresses, and I love them all. Not only does she have great style & taste, but it's just more fun to wear something that carries sentimental value & just happens to look stylish & current at the same time. Also, this dress is a little bit western with the bib front and patchwork print, with a touch of Asian inspiration in the mandarin collar, bamboo buttons and floral/bird print. Bizarre, but it works.

Dress: vintage, shoes: Frye, bag: Marc Jacobs, earrings: Eve M. Metalsmith
