I've been on the ModSquad by Modcloth for over a year now and they put an old photo of mine up on their blog yesterday to ask people to also join the street team. I thought that was pretty cool.
There's this little elementary school near where I live and it looks like it was built in the late 50s/early 60s or so. I thought it would suit the time period of this lovely dress that I borrowed from Quincy over at Q's Daydream. She also has worn one of my dresses which you can see how we each wore it through each of those links. She knows I love Gingham, so of course she sent me this one.

I love the lace on the dress. so cute.
Just to let you know, it was really sunny and warm on the day I took these. It had to have been at least 35 degrees but it's been below 0 other days, so I was so cozy! The hat made me sweat a little. I don't think I would be able to handle living in really warm climates.
What I'm wearing:
Dress: Borrowed from Quincy
Shoes: c/o Payless
Necklace: Charlotte Russe
Flower Hairclip: Lila-Jo
Hat: borrowed from my husband

Other than that, Since after cutting these bangs (which I have the longer pieces behind my ears for this outfit) I kept thinking about Janet Munro's hair. When I put on Quincy's dress here, Right away I thought about The Swiss Family Robinson in which Janet Munro was in (which I watched far too often as a child). It reminds me so much of these dresses she wore. Therefore I thought I'd share photos to illustrate for you what I mean.

perfect style inspiration!! i love the gingham on you. are you starting to like your shorter bangs now? i do think they suit you :)
I love the dress color with your hair color...all redheads should wear more pink. Love the shoes with socks...a look I would love to try...have a great day!
The settings works so well for this post. It looks just like the k-2 school I attended. And I am so in love with this dress!! It looks beautiful with your skin.
This is so lovely. I'm really loving your shorter bangs; they can be soft and romantic or badass, depending on what you're wearing. Blah you're always so cool. Major girl crush. :)
That is picture perfect Janet! :)
This look makes me more than ready for spring.... we've been having nothing but single digits since that blizzard hit, except for one day it hit 20 and I felt like I'd be fine in shorts and a tank top!
Anyway.... no prevention meetings for you! I love all your gingham looks, and if you stop wearing them, then I'll go through withdraws, then end up in rehab. You don't want that do you?

That dress is just as perfect on you as I thought it would be! The color IS perfect with your hair and skin. Thanks for the gorgeous pictures! :o)
Congrats with the Modcloth stylesquad! I just applied to be a part of it yesterday! And I absolutely love your pink vintage dress. You have the best vintage finds, for sure.
Oh my goodness, you look so pretty in this outfit! I love the dress and your vintagey necklace. You look like a dream! Congrats about Modcloth, thats awesome! And im so glad that she sent you this dress, it suits you perfectly!! Have a great week. x
No need for gingham therapy, I love this print on you!
I love this dress! So so sweet. But, I still can't believe you are warm - there is snow!! We have just come out of a heatwave so at the moment 26 (which is about 80F) is feeling rather cool.
This gingham dress looks just too darling on you... My oh my you make me so jealous with your beautiful vintage wardrobe you lucky lady!
Congrats on Modcloth! That dress looks too cute on you. The color is perfect!
swiss family robinson is one of my favorite movies.
such a classic movie! :)
you look beautiful and that dress fits you perfectly..
i love wearing pink in the snow..
xoox
Lovely outfit! that dress is adorable, and I love it with the socks and tights you paired it with! <3
Awww!!! I saw Jane Munro in an old Disney movie when I was little! It was called Horse Masters and I loved it sooooo much! I had completely forgotten about that until I saw that picture. Thank you for reminding me! <3

Cute dress! You have a lot of snow! I would think 35 degrees is freezing- LOL Then again I live where it is usually 40+ in winter. :)
That dress is sooooo sweet on you. I watched The Swiss Family Robinson so much as a child too!
Your dress is so lovely and I agree the lace on it is really adorable!
I LOVE your bangs :)
Hi Missy, I love love love the first photo! The composition and how there is a flag in the background--very nice. Also, I love your little socks and maryjane combo. You and that lady from bleubirdvintage need to start like a stylish mom blogger club or something!

I especially like the fur hat. It is an fantastically ironic touch. :P I love gingham too! I'm glad it's back on trend this spring!
Oh these pictures are precious! Love that dress!
That setting pairs perfectly with that cute little dress! I am definitely feelin' these awesome pictures. You are such a superstar.
Sidenote? My husband is obsessed with the Swiss Familly Robinson. ;)
Lovely!! Looks a bit chilly, but that dress is so spring-like.
I, too, need to join a support group for the gingham-obsessed, haha; it really is a raging addiction.
hahaha I love how that trapper hat totally doesn't go with the dress, so fun :D the dress is GORGE btw, could you please send it to me?
I absolutely adore your short bangs. Not everyone looks good with them, I used to have them but it didn't really work for me. You however look STUNNING in that close up, you're a total babe.
Adorable as ever - gingham is totally your thing :)
I've just given you the Stylish Blogger award - do take a look and pass it forward!

You look beautiful! And the hair reminds me of Mary Stuart Masterson. Gorgeous!
Super cute dress!! That particular style I think is my favorite type of dress.
The school makes a great backdrop. I am in Kansas right now and there are a lot of old industrial buildings. I am hoping to have time to take a few pics!
Lovely, as always, and you gave me a total blast from the past with the Swiss Family Robinson reference. I had completely forgotten about that movie, but I used to watch it all the time as a kid! I think I had a crush on the oldest son.
etherial and vintage, this is stunning

Ah, I love the gingham! It fits you perfectly. Plus, these outfit photos really are amazing. There is just something about pretty light colors and snow that I love. Not that I ever get to experience it here though!

that dress is so pretty! and i love that your bangs are so short, that look is one of my favorites. <3
That dress and school go perfectly together. I love dressing to my surroundings. I don't think I could live anywhere warm either. I had to spend most my time in Hawaii inside because I was going to die in that heat!

I love your outfit, but that goes without saying.
I really, REALLY love you with these shorter bangs. Not everyone can pull it off-- I remember when evil Walmart-lady butchered mine and made them like yours, only they looked so creepy on me!
And the fact that you just called 35 degree weather nice... it just about killed me. I'm the biggest baby about the cold. Biggest.
Love that dress on you and what a brilliant pairing with the hat! :)
Also, your necklace is pure sweetness :) Perfect.
Have a great day!
you look stunning:) that dress is just made for your body;)
I love your bangs by the way! they look great!!
love
