Dress? Vintage, thrifted
Shoes? French Connection, at the warehouse sale at The Ex
Clutch? Thrifted
Bracelets? Crazy lady at The Ex (a giveaway coming up perhaps?)
This dress totally reminds me of Betty Draper from Mad Men....
...except I've never seen Mad Men and I have no clue who Betty Draper actually is. Please don't shun me...
When I first put this dress on, it was a touch chilly and a blazer could have been a wise idea. But I knew I would be inside and the day would warm up... never mind, I actually just didn't want to cover up the sleeve detail with a blazer. No one puts baby in a corner and no one puts great drapey business sleevage (a technical term, really... though spell check says no) in a blazer. Last year I foolishly debated cutting this dress shorter... so glad that never happened. I love this dress. Love it. Even though the lining is cut super high and tight under my arms and I can't move freely. Vintage dresses always have high arm holes, I guess they never considered that a beefcake with pipes would be wearing this dress in the future. Yes, I'm the beefcake... better recognize.

You look like a modern Betty. And don't worry, I would never shun you.

Drop dead gorgeous! I wish I could find dresses like these when thrifting, I will I will, you'll be my inspiration.
And just curious, I know you work as a landscaper by day, but you only post outfits you actually wear out, so do you wear these out to dinner, movies? If you feel comfortable it would be so fascinating to see what you wear these great outfits to!
The colors and print are magnificent, love this dress!

speechless with admiration and envy!
These colors look amazing on you!! great find!! lucky you to have sun.. we had west coast rain today
What's the deal with high arm holes? I mean, sure people were smaller then but I don't remember anyone saying anything about the positions of our arms dropping...
At first I was, 'No, not Jentine as well with the Mad Men thing . . ' since I have never seen it.But whew, I'm not alone.
Best handbag shot EVER. And I have always loved those bracelets.
Gorgeous colours and sleeves.
um, yes- this dress is stunning! (and I haven't seen Mad Men either... :)

Very Betty indeed! And it looks marvelous on you, lady.
Loooove this dress! And shoes! And clutch! Ahhh! Where did you wear it? (P.S. No judgment, but you really should be watching Mad Men, for the fashion alone.)
Gorgeous colors in that dress, and the details are incredible. You wear it well, Jentine!
This dress is so gorgeous. The colors are so autumny and perfect!
Gorgeous!
I don't watch Mad Men either, but this blog I read called Project Rungay (LOL) has an excellent series where they dissect the fashion of Mad Men, including Betty. You can read it here: http://projectrungay.blogspot.com/search/label/Mad%20Style?max-results=18
The clothes on that show? Gawgeous.
Those shoes are fierce!! And they perfectly complement that dress! Lovely outfit : )

You're hilarious, and I love those shoes. :)
I really love the color and drapiness (is that a word?) of this dress! We all sacrifice in the name of fashion...
love that dress but am really loving the shoes! great photos, too
You look awesome. I love the dress and the shoes! Do you happen to know the name of the shoes? I need those.
I've always thought you looked like January Jones (Betty). You're both gorgeous.
I'm with you on the Betty Draper thing. I haven't seen that show. Do you think we should start watching it since everyone else seems obsessed? Ha!
Dress is beautiful. Love all the colors and it looks so great!
Love that dress. Sorry to be a spammer, but I have a fun contest on my blog. Not sure if you have Victoria's Secret in Canada or if you are much of a football fan but you seem to be somewhat of a sports enthusiast. I think you posted a game day look in support of Norway? Anyways check out my contest on my blog. Thanks!
coming out of lurking to say that this dress is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Wow!
Hi, This is my first time on your blog and I really really like your style of writing, not to mention that you;re very beautiful. :)
I have also been noticing from your archives that you have an awesome eye for scouring excellent vintage pieces. It's almost entertainment in itself seeing your sport your fabulous discoveries.
Love from Toronto, Canada
P.S: I'd love it if we could stay in touch with each other via google or bloglovin. How would you feel about that?
Nice stems betty!
And that clutch in the sky photo, I'm really diggin it.

Hahahah, you are NOT a beefcake. Totally love the dress on you!
CLOTHED MUCH, a modest fashion blog
This dress is amazing! I love the print and the sleeves!
That dress is so beautiful! I love the way the sleeves hang!
Mad props to your hubby with these photos! SO well done! This whole outfit is fabulous!
*sigh* I'm totally in love with this outfit. I just want to put it in my pocket!
Can you say STUNNING ???? This dress was made for you
I do not shun you! I do recognize!
This dress is gorgeous. So glad you didn't shorten it! And you do indeed look like Betty- modern Betty who isn't cold to her children and strangely childlike herself.
My word verification for this comment is "froboyme." That sounds like a verb w a potentially sketchy definition.
How have I not found your blog until today??? Found via What I Wore and I am hooked! You have such great style, and yes look just like January Jones/Betty Draper!
