My February ModCloth Year of Dresses frock arrived just in the nick of time for me to sport it on Valentine’s Day evening. It’s high time I shared it with you all!
In the spirit of love, I chose the Day after Day Dress in Hearts by one of my favorite designers, UK-based Emily & Fin. I have to confess I knew I would adore it well before it arrived, because I already own it in another print! One of my favorite things about this dress is that it is often mistaken for actual vintage. I love vintage garments with all of my heart, but they can be very fragile due to their age. I’m tough on my clothes, so I’ve learned to save most of my delicate old treasures for special occasions. But what am I going to wear the rest of the time? Sturdy, comfortable, washable Emily & Fin dresses are just the thing to fill my retro needs.
it’s hard to wear a frown alongside a dress this unabashedly joyful.

And this dress has spunk! What may look like polka dots at first glance are actually tiny white hearts on a bed of hot sherbet pink. While the print makes it perfect for the Valentine season, it’s going to be fun frolicking around town all spring & summer in this darling feminine number. It’s hard to wear a frown alongside a dress this unabashedly joyful.
Bottom Line: Forget clapping. If you’re happy & you know it, get this dress!
since it’s too cold to shoot outdoors, we brought a bit of nature inside for this blushing bride-esque shot.
(BONUS FASHION SECRET: I’m wearing a child’s cardi from Uniqlo – great for us high-waisted girls!)
