Sweet Truth
I’m always a sucker for a hit of nostalgia which is why I thrifted this colorful sprinkled dress last month. It reminded me of vintage dishware but for the purpose of this post, I dressed to resemble Fruit Stripe gum of yesteryear! Who else remembers that stuff?!
Scroll down to read how I modernized this retro find!

Heart Eyes
This 1980s dress didn’t need a lot of help since the whimsical pattern is quite timeless, as is the fact that it has pockets. I just added a few accessories to update it like these super fun red heart sunglasses, a red patent leather belt, and my favorite yellow striped cardigan.
Summertime Sweetness
My main fashion philosophy is mixing vintage finds with modern trends and I think this outfit demonstrates that perfectly!
Aside from the contemporary accessories I mentioned, I also wanted to stay true to the decade of this dress with this sweet strawberry tote bag that was gifted to me by my late great grandma. She wasn’t a fashion person but I’d have to think she’d be happy to see her bag still getting use after 30 years. Clearly she made a good investment!
