Red Poppy Print Dress: 1950s Vintage Outfit Inspiration

Red Poppy Print Dress: 1950s Vintage Outfit Inspiration.

Do you love vintage-inspired fashion and beautiful floral prints? Today I’m sharing one of my favourite outfits: a gorgeous red poppy-print dress with a classic 1950s feel.

I love how the vibrant red poppies make this dress stand out, especially styled with a pretty turquoise scarf and simple shoes.

The fit-and-flare silhouette has that timeless retro charm that makes a swing dress so much fun to wear.

So how about this pretty 50’s inspired Poppy Dress? Isn’t it beautiful? On Monday it will just be me and Mollie, when my little 2 have gone back to school and husband back to work!!

Talking of Mollie, can you believe she ate the corners of 3 of my dinner table chairs yesterday!! She is nearly a year old too!! Grr now most of my 8 chairs have been bitten somehow or another by her.

Yesterday I managed to find a bit of me time, eventually trying on this beautiful dress I won at Easter in a Faceebook compertition.

I won this lovely dress from Chestnuts Fashion Fix, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.

If you love colourful outfits, feminine vintage styles and ideas for adding a little retro flair to your wardrobe, I hope you enjoy this look!

I love it. It is so pretty. Do you think so too? Red is my favourite colour so what is not to love about it. Perfect colour, style and length. 

Now where shall I go to wear this pretty dress. All dressed up an no place to go. So what do you think to my win. Is it your cup of tea?

What is your favourite colour? Do you like seeing poppies? So do you like my dress? Poppies are so beautiful, aren’t they?  It will soon be the weekend again. Any fun plans for the weekend?

Nothing much planned here. Catching up on more boring jobs I think. Getting school uniform found again and iron.

Also meal planning here and there. I lead such an interesting life, hehe. See you tomorrow for the welcome to the weekend blog hop party.
