Vintage Teepee Dress
A little while ago I went thrifting to one of my favourite spots that always has some amazing vintage stock. I was hoping that I might find a dress, but I’ve never had much luck with finding them. This time when I went I couldn’t stop bumping into gorgeous dresses to try on! It was such a fun change, and I think I officially graduated from having a crush to being serious in love with vintage dresses.
I love the teepee and feather print of the dress, and that it’s longer than dresses I usually wear. Everything about it is fun and comfortable, and I love that the colours aren’t what I usually wear. I paired it with my summer splurge- a pair of super high sandals I got that make me tower over… pretty much everyone!
I have to be really careful when I’m walking in them, things can go wrong fast in these!
See what I mean? and I’m 5’7 to begin with! I wear flats 90% of the time, but every now and then I like to step out of my comfort zone. Super stacked heels & a teepee dress for a day definitely qualifies as a step out of my comfort zone- but I’m happy to report that I survived!
Even if there was a small intermission of slippers in the afternoon ;)
I LOVE that dress!
This dress is gorgeous!!! I wish you lived closer so I could sneak over and borrow it. ;)
I love that dress. Such a good vintage find!
What a great outfit! I love your half sleeve.
Such a great dress!
La-la-looove this! You’re working it!
that dress is the BEST find! you look gorgeous! i totally know how you feel when it comes to the heels/wedges…i’m 5’6″ and even though that isnt’ THAT tall, i just feel so tall and out of place in heels! i love the wedges you paired with the dress. perfect!
You look incredible. What an amazing find. My stomach is a little squeamish with dress-envy.
Those shoes are to die for. I would probably die walking in them, but it’d be worth it!
The print on that dress is unbelievable and you look darling in it!
I always love when you have a major vintage score, it makes all the previous unsuccessful thrifting visits totally worth it.
well, isn’t that just the way the best crushes blossom into straight up love affairs?! your new dress is adorbs Kyla!! tower on pretty girl, your slipper intermission idea is one i’ve got to adopt myself. brilliant teepee toes move!
Adorable Kyla! What a vintage score! Clothes thrifting is so hit or miss, isn’t it? So glad you found something you love :)

Amazing dress, pretty lady! Love it!
In my 20’s I lived in vintage. It’s so much fun to find that dress that just fits you and your style, isn’t it?
That dress is GORGEOUS on you! I love it!!
That teepee dress may be the coolest dress I have ever seen! What a score!
I love it, Kyla. Super cutesy.
wow, this dress!! what a find and you look gorgeous!
That is an amazing find! :) I feel ya on the wedges. I’m 5’11”, but like heals now and then. Definitely a step out of the comfort zone though. :)

Pretty pretty lady!! That dress is amazing, the sleeves, the buttons! I officially have dress jealousy. So happy to see you blogging again too :) xoxo
SO amazing! you’re adorable & this dress is too.
this is beautiful! that dress has great character!
Oh, love it. Love the nude color with a few splashes of red and blue. The heels are supercute… I am 5’7″, too and I know what you mean buy saying you feel like you’re hovering over everything :) But isn’t that a great feeling sometimes? :) (Are they comfortable at least?)
They’re *crazy* comfortable!! I’m loving them :)
Sometimes us tall gals just gotta rock the heels! Wearing my biggest platforms, I’m as tall as my 6ft+ friend…and about as awkward as a baby giraffe. As my mother was always so fond of saying, “we must suffer for beauty’s sake!”
I love it you look great!
Im 5’7 too and I want to wear heels so bad but I feel so tall! But you know i just gotta do it!
Oh my goodness, that dress is AH-MAZING! What a great find! Your sandals are fantastic too. :)
Lovely dress! And those shoes almost make me wish I had a pair (I always wear mary janes).
Oooh, I love those sandals!!! I tend to wear more heels because I am so short (under 5″3′!)
