There isn’t an information card with this subscription, since the items are vintage and selected according to your preferences. However, there was a nice card with a personalized note and some styling suggestions. (If you wonder why I never show you pictures using the styling suggestions, it’s more often than not because I don’t have the garments required. For example, I don’t own a single denim jacket, which is mentioned often in these cards. Although it would probably be nice to have one as it would be a good weight for both spring and fall where I live.)
1990s Vintage Dress
This month’s dress is pretty simple. If I could change one thing, I would make the straps an inch or two shorter. But that is actually probably something I could do on my own.
This is really comfortable. I am having a hysterectomy at the end of the month and while I probably won’t be leaving the house often, when I do, I will totally wear this. It is not constricting in the abdomen at all and would totally conceal any post-surgical swelling. And maybe by the time I have recovered from surgery, I will have a brightly colored cardigan to wear with it.
Here is a closer view with a statement necklace (that I made using materials from Bargain Bead Box). This dress is great for statement jewelry and you can go any way you want with the color.
In the meantime, here are a few other views, including with my red shrug. I am not really a “neutrals” sort of person most of the time, so I always look for an opportunity to add a splash of color.
Verdict: I really like the dress I received from CHC Vintage this month. It fits well and is comfortable. It will eventually become work wear (which is something I asked for when I filled out my profile) and I like how you can change up the look just with a few accessories – very versatile.
