Merriweather Post Dress


hat: via thrift
dress: upcycled vintage via local boutique
heels: via thrift

This is possibly my favourite dress. I found it in a boutique on my travels. It's so light and flouncy, the colours are wondrous, it has a contrasting collar, and the pattern reminds me of Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion album cover.

I wore this on an all-day outing with a darling friend. We ate bento boxes for lunch, browsed used book shops, and finished the day off with ice cream. I purchased some loose leaf Earl Grey (my favourite!) and The Philosophy of Andy Warhol.

The sun is finally shining on the west coast!
