This week’s “What to Wear Wednesday” features a dainty, vintage, half-sleeve dress speckled with a colorful abstract pattern. Wear it to church or on a casual stroll to your local Saturday market.

Style tip: The key to pulling off vintage is context. We know it can be difficult to envision yourself in a style from a bygone era…especially when all you can conjure up are images of that stodgy old relative you once met at a distant family reunion. To overcome that mental juxtaposition, try pairing a pretty vintage dress with something familiar to you such as your favorite shoes or perhaps some jewelry that has sentimental value to you. After all, what may not work for great aunt Ruth could look perfectly adorable on you.

What to wear: Vintage Dress $17.5 | Skinny Belt $4.5 | Boots $14 | Earrings $4 | Fox Ring $3
