What I Wore: Apricity - January Dress
6.06.2015
Ahhh have I mentioned how much I love Fleet Collection? Well thanks to a slow and steady flow of sales they've had over the last year I now nearly own their entire collection... Okay that may be a bit of a stretch but I do have at least a dozen or so of their dresses. The last 11 (5 I bought for Chloie) only cost me about a total of $60!!!!!! Talk about killer sale! Two of them cost a whopping $2 each! Unfortunately, I'm sad to say they have since closed their shop. It's not all bad news though, one of the owners, Eileen, has recently opened a new shop Apricity! Much like Fleet Collection, her style is vintage with a modern twist.
The dress above is her January dress in Seafoam. I'm surprised to say I own no other dress in this color. I was a bit worried it would clash with my porcelain skin but I think it somehow works nicely. If you've ever followed Fleet Collection or owned any of their other pieces this dress is a lot like their Holly Golightly dress. It's fabric is exactly the same, with a nice weight and stretch to it. What I love in particular about this dress is it's soooo comfortable and soft! So comfortable you could sleep in it! Plus it has pockets and who doesn't love a dress with pockets?
Eileen's current line is small but beautiful. She recently put out a new style similar to this one but in the most beautiful shade of green called Solstice. When my wallet allows I may have to snatch it up! My most favorite dress is her Sunday dress. I hope to see many more in that same cut. This dress is simply a dream. I'll be sharing picts soon!

You look so lovely, as usual! :) That's good one of the owners opened a new shop! I love your hair like this, it's super cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Bristol!
DeleteYeah, yeah, yeah, the dress is super cute, but let's talk about your hair! I'm digging the curls!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! It was a challenge but I'm hoping to do pincurls more often! ♥
DeleteThat color looks gorgeous on you! Any shade of blue or green is going to be stunning on a redhead, I'm not surprised that this looks amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica! Being a redhead has certainly opened up a world of color that didn't flatter me as much before. I really wish I owned more greens. Blues dominate my wardrobe, it's a shame their aren't more green dresses.
DeleteThat dress looks just darling on you! I love the bow, and there really isn't anything better than a dress with pockets. :) I'm definitely going to have to check out Apricity.
ReplyDeleteAnd your headband is just too cute - this whole outfit is just too cute! Love it!
