Visible Monday #134: I’m In A Festival Mood

Welcome to Visible Monday #134! If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Please be kind and leave a link to Not Dead Yet Style in your post.

I’ve been having a yen for these 90’s dresses – long, floral and simply made. They were called “Granny Dresses” for a while, now they’re “Festival,” “Hippie,” or “Grunge” dresses, according to my eBay searches. I found this pretty dress at Bella’s Etsy shop, and it’s my favorite.

I prefer dark floral prints like this one. I love the sweetheart neckline and ankle length. I don’t need to accessorize it much, because it has personality. I added just a vintage locket and old GAP belt, and my Kenneth Cole wedge sandals. Bring on the festival, I’ll have a spiked lemonade.

Nothing better than a swingy, easy floral frock, especially from Citizen Rosebud’s.

Bella gave the dress her smoldering vibe.

  3. It's funny but I have on a dress today that is almost just like the one you have on. I wish now I had done a post about it! That would have been cool. I love yours! I need to check out Bella's shop. My post is about the recent Ringo Starr show I attended so it's kind of festivaly. Although so much better because a Beatle was there! lol I had a few cold brews and such a good time :o)

    Seriously, I love your dress. I didn't know they were called grunge or hippie or festival now. I used to call them Laura Ashleys. Thanks for the linkup!

  7. You look great in the dress!!! Perfect styling and I love your hair!

  21. You look fab! I wish I could see your sandals a little clearer – have they got fluffy bits at the front? I think I bought a pair very similar this week while thrifting and am looking forward to wearing them – although they are heels rather than wedges. Thanks so much for hosting once again – have a great week!

  22. It looks great on you – I like dark florals too. Thanks for hosting! P x

  28. The dress looks great on you! Bella has a wonderfully curated shop. I'm digging the 90s look too. Just wish I'd kept my dresses from that era.

  29. I LOVE these dresses! It's wonderful to see how the dress suits both of you in entirely different ways. I think we need to start a linkup of sorts with that theme in mind!

    Thank you for hosting the link-up Patti! I'm hosting an eShakti $50 Gift Card Giveaway, hope you can join!

  31. Hi Patti, I love floral anything. You have such a nice, easy-breezy style. Love the saddle colored belt with it! Thank you for hosting!

  32. I absolutely adore granny dresses. They're so proper and lady like. I'm always on the hunt for a cute one, like the one you're wearing. Love it.

  33. Hi Patti, That dress from Bella's easy shop looks so cool, boho chic. Pretty locket too. I linked up. Thanks.

  34. Love the neckline, too! And to think I had tons of these in the 90's! Nice job of accessorizing. The leather belt is just the right touch. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com

  35. Great dress, and that locket with the detailed chain is just beautiful.

  36. Hi Patti,
    thanks for another Visible Monday! Love the floral, good find.

  37. Great dress! that's the type of Maxi I'd like! Hurrah for hippy dresses!x

  38. You add your own kind of sultry to that dress – you look great in it! What a gorgeous locket, too. I remember when they used to be called granny dresses. I think using the term "festival" is kind of funny, but I guess it sounds very cool and happenin.

  39. Hey Patti,
    last Tuesday we visited the Tollwood Festaval in Munich, an enjoyed a great Fogerty concert.
    Have a good time
