green floral rayon and a good thursday

Hello hello and happy Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend! Here is what I wore waaaay back last Thursday (I can't believe it's been that long, woah!) when we actually had a warm, sunny and beautiful Autumn day – and I had a good day.

I am wearing my late 1930's green floral print dress, a black belt from a thrifted blouse, my back seam tights from Dear Gladys (I love these, they do that vintage and new mix so well) and my red wedges. Note the smudge on my red shoe is not a permanent boo boo, but in fact a Babycat tumbleweed that had attached itself to the grippy suede. Despite regular kitty brushing and such (such, always) frequent hoovering, Babycat tumbleweeds are just a part of everyday life chez Esme. Esme and the Cat Fluff.

I do love wearing later 1930s and 1940s rayon print dresses, and will add more to my collection when I can. I find them so versatile and like to wear them with both vintage inspired and more modern hairstyles. On Thursday I did a messy curled up do, a style I particularly like at the moment and is great for windy days. Oh and that reminds me... I want to ask you some questions!

I am going to do a tutorial, as requested, on the hair style from this post. Tell me, what do you prefer: videos, pictures, animated gifs..? If I make videos, are you happy to just have the visuals or do you prefer having me talk you through it too? Please, let me know and I can do my best for you.
