Grace in Blue

It's just coincidence that I started coloring my hair around the same time I started my blog and began experimenting with styles and colors to try to find the right combos for me.  I went along for a number of years thinking I could wear any color.  But growing out my hair for the past year or so and going back to natural hair color has taught me differently.  
As it turns out, my ability to wear most colors was directly tied to my that rich red that I used to dye my hair, and now that it's back to a cool espresso brown with gray in the mix, some things just don't work well for me anymore and I really need a new palette. 
While pastels are now and always will be my favorite, they really don't do much for my complexion at this stage in life.  I find that the very best colors to warm up my skin tone and balance out this hair are vibrant shades like the electric blue of this Grace Vintage Style Jive dress from Dolly & Dotty.
I should also mention that the the Grace style is one of my all time Vintage favorites!  The pleated bust and this drop dead gorgeous neckline with a fitted waist and a full skirt, mean this dress is the most flattering for all sizes and shapes.
This dress checks all the right boxes and check out this back, by the way; it's just as gorgeous.  I love that Dolly & Dotty really follows through on the details, making each dress so lovely!
