Chrysanthemum

Dress - Trashy Diva
Sunglasses - Wildfox
Shoes - Wittner
Parasol - gift
I've noticed that in the last few months I have accumulated quite a number of dresses that have an Asian influence. What excited me most about this dress is the way it is a combination of two styles that I love to wear - the top half is similar to a qipao, and the lower half is like a swing dress. I also love the swishy pleats and the soft fabric- this dress just makes me want to twirl! I don't have enough yellow in my wardrobe and after wearing this dress I think it might be one of my new favorite colors to wear. Another thing I'm really loving at the moment are these round 40s style glasses that I bought especially to wear with my 40s dresses, whenever I put them on they make me think of Barbara Stanwyk in Double Indemnity!

    So so beautiful Harlow! Yellow is amazing on you... What a beautiful blog post. And I love the sunglasses. Barbara Stanwyck is perfection in that amazing film - one of my favourites as you know so this is just too perfect! x

    What a lovely dress! Yellow can be hard to wear but it does look great when you can pull it off as well as you do.

    Ooh, just gorgeous! It looks delightful on you. I am in love with yellow and just can't seem to get enough of it lately. Must be that we've only just turned the corner from winter here, so I"m craving sunny summer days!

    I fell seriously hard for yellow in the autumn of 2012 and have been entranced with it ever since, so I can certainly relate to your new found love for the colour of sun. :)

    Beautiful dress and photo shoot location. I always adore it when you take snaps amongst the bamboo, as it's a setting so unlike any I would ever encounter here in the Canadian wilderness.

    Wow I just Love the yellow dress. Its true I think some asian influence comes more and more in fashion, With the no button collar, and the broderie.
    I Love it, i repeat it but this color really enbrightens our Days !
    Perfect :D

    Your wardrobe is the epitome of vintage treasures - there's not one outfit you've posted that I wouldn't wear. This one is no exception either - you're so beautiful Miss Darling!
