Vintage Vera Bradley Set, $32, just listed in my Etsy shop.
With all the Victorian and Edwardian talk going on in the blog lately I thought a bit of a modern take might be fun. If I have a dirty little vintage secret it’s that I love Prairie Style dresses. Gunne Sax, Laura Ashley, Vera Bradley- I have a soft spot for the romantic cotton and lace dresses of the 70s and 80s.

I guess part of my fasination could be tied up in my love of Anne of Green Gables when I was a kid. The dresses in the Anne movies can certainly be tied in with the appeal of these dresses and tops and skirts!
Sadly, I only own one such dress at present but am always on the prowl for more.

They’ve seen a big jump in popularity lately, and I see lots of listed on Ebay and Etsy. I think they’re pretty neat and are a nice wearable vintage style with a bit of romanticism for day to day.
