2 pair of Faryl Robins, my first!

Only $36!

Only $29! I may see if a cobbler can dye the yellow red for me.

I have that second pair! Love them. Good, comfy, casual shoe. The yellow reads pretty neutral once they're on.

KittyT...

Lovely shoes. The first pair are dreamy! I've never heard of Faryl Robins so you've turned me on to something new.

Thanks!

How do we justify this one?

Oh! I know...this is my Valentine gift to me, from me.

Seriously, this is the most indulgent I've been on a single purchase and I'm still a little shakey having just hit the "buy" button. I couldn't pass it up, great lines/details, cute little bird fabric and I love birds. I loathe my upper arms but for this dress (insert your favorite explative) it! Gonna need some serious foundations though. I was smart enough to ask for a rib cage measure this time. Lesson learnt the hard way.

Okay...I'm officially ready for VLV in NEPA! lol

Wondrous dress, congrads!

What an adorable dress!

Love love love the bird dress! Love! If it doesn't fit...you know where to locate me. And heck - if you've invested in the dress, invest in some little 8 pound weights and work those arms out! lol

I would love the second pair. They are so baby-doll shaped and I love that. Where online can I order them? They are aren't on the Farly Robin site

Look on Amazon, that's where I found mine. Very limited sizes available though. Also, check Ebay!

Skidoo, that dress is INCREDIBLE. I'm so jealous!!!

 

[LaMedicine]

Am I the only one who thinks this

would look perfect together?

[cherry lips]

LaMedicine, I agree!

23SkidooWithYou that is a very pretty dress! I'm curious about the detail below the bust: is that an embroidered decoration for bust enhancement? I've never seen that before.

 

[KittyT]

It's hard to tell from the photo, but the shoes are navy. Don't see it with the dress....

 

[Jennifer Lynn]

That is a very cool dress 23Skidoo...I love the neckline!

Not sure where to put this, but since it's a recent purchase I might as well show it here. I'm certain it isn't a vintage shirt, but it reminds me of the 50's. I love eyelet embroidery and lace, so when I found this on Etsy I couldn't resist. Question is, if I want to give it a vintage look, what would I pair it with - a cardigan and matching skirt?

And here's the eyelet work up close. It's even on the collar!
