Kelly green is such a beautiful colour I think, so vivid and vibrant, a colour I really love and yet own very little of. Another of the vintage dresses I bought recently, it is the only vintage dress I own which I have not hemmed shorter. This dress wasn't as long as they usually are, so after a couple of wears I decided to keep it to it's original length.
Skirt and dress length has been so important over the years, signifying the decade of it's origin. This dress, despite being from around the 1980's I think, makes me think more of the 1940's with the knee length and puff sleeves.
Such a glamorous and dressy decade, my Tabio back seam tights, vintage marcasite ring and Blue Inc flower shoe boots are very in keeping with the time. As well as red lips and nails courtesy of Chanel of course.

this colour is so perfect for you!
This dress is so cute! I love the colour and I think it's a perfect shade to give some pep's to brunette.
the photos are beautiful. i like this retro atmosphere. the color is gorgeous. i myself love the green kelly and have a few pieces but not as many as i would want to.
regarding the length you were right to keep it that way. it suits you perfectly and the boots are beautiful!!

Oooh! beautiful :)
I love kelly green, so fresh and flattering. With those tights it look gorgeous!
absolutely stunning dress. this green colour is so beautiful. your pictures are as always amazing
I LOVE these photos. Kelly green looks great on you.
I must admit though...the picture of the tights laid out stopped me dead! Gorgeous!
what a wonderful dress! makes me really envious
That colour is amazing and these photos are so beautiful. You really are such a talented photog:)
that is a perfect length, i love it and the colour!
Amazing ankle booties, my dear!
lovely dress! it does remind me of the '40s. i don't usually like green colors for clothing, but this dress looks divine on you!
Fantastic photos, darlin'! And the dress, and the nail polish, and your bangs, and the tights and... well, you get the idea ;)
Ooh it looks stunning on you P. You really suit that colour.
I just lately got the green Kate Moss dress, maxi one. I like green though like you have never seemed to own much in it. Love kat xx
love the whole outfit!
That looks lovely! The longer hem creates a nice balance with the seamed tights and heels.
That dress is perfect- it's got the vintage look without making you look like you're meant to be in another decade. The shoes are amazing, but it's the makeup and nails that do it for me. They really make the green pop.

very nice blog!!
Beautiful! As in beautiful everything. I really love the dress and the shoes.

The red nails and lip against the green is perfection. This green is very close to the green dress that Keira Knightley wore in Atonement. Did you ever see that? Now that dress was gorgeous. You look gorgeous!

I love that dress! The colour is so beautiful. I think I suit slightly darker tones though because I have sallow skin but it looks beautiful on your paler skin.
Green is definitely one of my favourite colours to wear. I love this one. I think the length is pretty perfect for the style.

Ma chère, vous êtes superbe!!!

Gorgeous dress! I love the boots too :)

And I am in love with your ring..I might just replace the one I wear for years for that one...
What a gorgeous dress! It looks great on you!
The colour of the dress marries well with your skin tone, eye colour and hair. Your nail varnish is very nice, too. Here's wishing you a happy and sun-filled day:-)

That dress is so gorgeous, you're right about the 40s vibe, although generally I find 80s fashion a bit scary there are some wonderful pieces out there!
