Spotted-50s housewife

Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong decade…I literally find myself drawn to other periods of time, either through music (I adore Billie Holiday), movies (one of my favorites – Rear Window) or in this case FASHION.  I just love flowy skirts and dresses and often find myself day-dreaming of meeting my husband after school at the HOP as we share a Coca Cola ice cream float staring into each other’s eyes.  Okay, so maybe I watch too many movies (especially GREASE way too many times), but I do think growing up in the time of poodle skirts, saddle shoes and dressing up for school in long dresses sounds fabulous!  Therefore, when I spotted this 50s-inspired “Soda Fountain” dress, I had to have it!  Paired with pearls and heels below, I wore this little number as a PLAY style, but also ended up wearing it to work with a cropped cardigan and cute ballet slippers last week.  I actually received many compliments at work and a couple people even asked me if I was January Jones, haha…hey, I will take that compliment any day!

So now I’m in the mood tonight (it’s Friday night here in Malaysia) to watch a good old movie.  I’m thinking “To Catch a Thief” because it’s also one of my favorites.  What’s your favorite old movie to watch on a Friday night?
