Vivien of Holloway has become one of my absolute favorite retro brands for their gorgeous dresses and separates. I get a thrill every time I add one of their pieces to my wardrobe like this gorgeous gold leaf printed halter sarong dress with the matching Bolero. Not only is it sexy but its comfortable too! I love dresses that have matching boleros because I have lots of keloid scars on my back. Most of the time I don’t mind having them seen but its nice to have an option for the days I don’t feel so hot. However, I don’t think its even possible to feel “not so hot” in a dress like this. I mean, its gorgeous! I felt fabulous! I love that sarong dresses don’t exactly suffocate your hips as much as wiggle dresses do but you still get that hourglass shape. I wish I could buy them all as this VOH dress comes in a variety of colors and patterns but hey..at least I got my hands on this one! I wore it while shopping the other day before having drinks with my friends at Frankie’s Tiki Bar. I kept my accessories simple since the dress has a busy pattern so I just wore my patent black mules, vintage gold hoop earrings, some bamboo bangles, a wicker clutch, and a cute vintage pineapple brooch. I was in my element!

Good times!
Hello world, My name is Jasmin but everyone knows me as “Vintage Vandalizm” as everything I represent is a marriage of the timeless beauty of Vintage & the gritty rawness of my vandalized city, NYC. Inspired by the 1950s and the 1980s I have been able to create a style all my own. I believe fashion should be limitless and that self expression should be fun and this is why I started this fashion blog in 2008. After wearing many hats in the New York Fashion world, I now reside in Las Vegas working as a full-time influencer, however, my journey has just begun. Be a part of my adventure and follow this blog for my take on fashion, art, and life. Xoxo
Love it! Beautiful dress and beautiful hair. Lovely as always.
How are you so beautiful Jasmin.. sighhhh!! I love how you wear this and it’s such a great color and style on you! I can’t pull off sexy looks like this but you do it so well!
Beautiful! That dress looks great on you and your hair looks amazing! Glad to see you posting Xo
You look beautiful in that dress and your hair is to die for! Glad to see you posting again Xo
Oh. My. God. You are always absolute perfection and elegance.
In addition to that….I pray to the almighty vintage gods that you will someday bestow upon us a hair tutorial for this look!!!
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr you could just come by my apartment and teach me how to do it in person! Granted I’m on the east coast but you can think of it as community service because you would be helping out a fellow NY’er.
But really even if neither of those options are a possibility….I’m relieved to see a beautiful female keeping it classy. You are a work of art in every way. 🙂
Love the dress. How would you compare the fit and construction of this sarong dress to pug’s sarong dresses?
