Fabulous Fashion Friday: Mad Men Dresses Make us Happy!

Continuing our series on the amazing dresses of Spring, today we're featuring our new Mad Men inspired--full skirt "tea-length" dresses now in store.  Here are three of our favorites, each with their own 1950's vibe, but in new fabrics and bold prints that are decidedly modern.  We've paired each dress with gorgeous jewelry from our sister shop, Ponytail Jewelry Studio, which is also bursting with new Spring jewelry collections by our talented local designers.

 "Grandmother's Wallpaper" Vintage Paisley Print

Paisley print dress by Aryeh ($68)
Me Too "Capri6" low-wedge leather boots in taupe, ($138)
Raw Peridot & fine silver jewelry by Bellatrix ($77 for the set)



Stunning bold paisley print. 
We think a light-colored boot and bare legs are perfect with a knee length dress in the Springtime.
This raw Peridot chunks bracelet ($39) along with the huge fine-silver hoops with Peridot center ($38) by Bellatrix pick up the earthy greens in the dress.  This jewelry duo is so chunky and powerful, no necklace is needed!
I love the way the full A-line skirt flows down in perfect, well-behaved drapes.  The thick, dark-pink trim outlines the model's silhouette in a delightful way.

A Circus of Circles
Circles print cotton dress by Aryeh ($68)
Me Too "Cameron2" low-wedge leather boots in black, ($140)
Mixed gemstone & fine silver jewelry by Bellatrix ($106 for the combo)
A polished, light-weight leather boot with a low wedge heel is perfect for a Springtime evening out.  Switching to a strappy black sandal during the day would work, too.
Yards and Yards of flowing fabric on the skirt of this dress makes it SO Marilyn Monroe worthy!
We love the way the mixed pastel gemstones in this jewelry combo sets off the jeweltones in the circles print dress! Shown here: Bellatrix sterling silver wired-gemstones hoop pendant, $78, with layered Lavendar Amethyst bracelets $39 & $42, plus simple cascading peridot earrings ($22).  Available at our sister shop, Ponytail Jewelry Studio.
We go mad for circles!

"Crazy Quilt" Geoprint Dress
Abstract geoprint dress in Navy, by Aryeh ($68)
Me Too "Capri6" low-wedge leather boots in taupe, ($138)
Hand forged metal jewelry by Raincity Forge, (Price available upon request)
The thick banded waist line juxstaposed against the wide skirt is so flattering.  And although there is a lot of fabric on this frock, the deep "V's" front and back help show off some skin (and your jewelry!!!)
Dapped & textured sterling silver "cup" ring, hammered sterling bracelet & textured triangle pendant with matching earrings by Raincity Forge (Price upon request.)
What a stunning outfit--yet so simple: It all starts with one, powerful statement dress, basic boots and killer jewelry.
