Arsenic and Old Lace

As I mentioned in my Vintage Bazaar post, I met Tess from Tessaboo Vintage this weekend and purchased a dress from her. A gorgeous navy 1940's lace dress. I have been so excited to put together a look using this piece. Did I want to take it literal or use it in an interesting way. So I think this will be a two parter of how many ways I can wear this item. Just putting it on my body made my day! I felt so sensual and sexy in it. 

For the first look, I went more literal. 40's with a bit of 60's influence. I must say, this will be my new favorite outfit this month. I may have to wear it to a few different functions, and I NEVER repeat. But this dress is just toooo special not too. Now if only I can find a date with a waistcoat and watch fob to complete my evening out look:) 

Thank you so much Tess for such a beautiful dress:) You are lovely.
