For the first night of WorldCon I wore my new purple dress from the previous blog. But for the first offical day of the convention I wore this favorite vintage 1950s blue and white day dress.
It has a cute little jacket too, but I didn't get a picture of it at this event. Here it is at Comic Con, 4 years ago pre-reack-reduction.
Believe it or not I weigh less in these Comic Con photos, just goes to show what a little less boob will do for a girl's figure. Now where was I?
So I am wearing it with a little flower hair band (
similar $18), faux pearl set (
similar $10), vintage white leather gloves (
similar $29), and some Mia nomad flats (discontinued,
similar $23).

"A great variety of bright colours is only suited to a carpet. For a dress, two are quite sufficient."
